HOWOGE Wohnungsbaugesellschaft mbH is warning about a fake website currently operating under the name "howoge-immo." This site advertises alleged rental apartments. Interested parties are asked to schedule viewings and then transfer a "processing fee" in advance via PayPal.
This is an attempt at fraud: The properties shown on this page do not belong to HOWOGE and are not rented by it. HOWOGE does not charge any processing fees or commissions for viewings or brokerage. Applying for an apartment is always free of charge. The rental process can be viewed under Rental Process | HOWOGE .
HOWOGE housing offers are available exclusively through the following channels:
- the official website www.howoge.de ,
- the app “HOWOGE Apartment Search”,
- via inberlinwohnen.de,
- as well as through established housing portals such as ImmoScout24.
HOWOGE has immediately initiated legal action and informed the hosting provider of the fake website. Anyone who has already made payments should contact the police immediately. Suspicious cases can also be reported to compliance@howoge.de .
