Multiple craigslist's posting on affordable rental. Using email address: "[email protected]" or "[email protected]" Won't provide address or additional information on listing.
If you try to call her on whether this is legit she will disappear.

Always included in her email is:

Thank you for contacting regarding the rental.
What time are you available to view the apartment?

Hello ,
nly scheduling appointments with prospective tenants who have provided us with their most recent credit score.

The reason for this is because your credit score is a simple financial indicator which will allow us to determine if you will be able to make timely payments.

Hello,

Thanks for getting back to me. I will be available to show the rental after 2 P.M. today. I'll also be available any time after noon the whole coming week.

I deleted the link. My reasoning is it is likely a phishing site. To have your credit score checked, you would provide all of the information a criminal would need to pull off an identity theft.
