The money was defrauded from 503 people.
Almost €1 million has been scammed from people looking for accommodation over the last two years.
503 people have reported being the victim of a rental scam to Gardaí between February 2019 and May of this year.
Gardaí are urging people to never transfer money direct, pay cash, pay into cryptocurrency wallets.
Detective Superintendent Michael Cryan has been speaking to Ciara Noble on Wednesday's edition of Kildare Today.
Gardaí are advising people to be wary of rental scams, particularly at this time of year when students are returning to college.
