There's a company who is advertising fake housing for rent on CL. The scammer's ad on CL makes anyone feel welcome to apply by stating that they'll "work" with anyone with bad credit and a criminal history. The advertised housing for rent is also advertised at a very competitive rate which obviously is a tactic to draw more people in. When you inquire about the home listed for rent you get a reply with details of the fake home for rent and you are asked to go to a site for a background check called tenantverified.com. Of course this background check is not free and the scammer asks that you forward them all of your personal information obtained from the site. When you reply to their email, another reply email from a different email address is sent to you with an additional scam to obtain even more information asking you to "prove you're an actual person and not a bot and you're then directed to a so called verification page where you input your phone number. From there you don't get a response and then eventually you'll realize the house posted on CL was bogus and now you're out $40 and your information is in the hands of the scammers who are obviously working for tenantverified.com
