My husband and I have been searching for a place to live on Craigslist when at last! we found a great looking place at a very reasonable price.  The problem - no address was listed.  I emailed the contact email asking for the address and asking about their pet policy.  Again they didn't tell me the address.  Here is the reply:

Andrea,
We appreciate your interest in our home for rent.
The property we have available for rent today is a 2 bedroom 1.5 bath with garage in an excellent neighborhood. The property has a full size washer and dryer.
There have not been any pets in the home so there are no smells, stains or odors. The home is pet friendly with no breed restrictions, we do not charge a fee or require a deposit but if your pet damages the property you are responsible for repairs.
To rent our property we require the following:
1. A valid Driver's License or Photo ID
2. The 1st months rent
3. Background check for each applicant
4. Rental Agreement (month to month, 6 months or 1 year), I will bring this to the showing
You can complete the background check online using Rental Verified: link.
This is an easy way for me to screen applicants based on previous addresses and job history. If you have a felony or bad rental history, I am flexible and I will work with you.
This property rents quickly, contact me when you've completed your background check and are ready to schedule a viewing. It's in a .pdf, you can print it and bring to the showing or email it to me.
What's the best contact number for you? Are you available tomorrow?
I will be available tomorrow, Monday morning.
Viviene
 
I (unfortnately) went to the site and paid for my "background check" and then replied to "Viviene". After over 12 hours of no response I googled Rental Verified and heard other horror stories and other people receiving this same email.  Be aware; this is a complete scam.  If something sounds too good to be true, it is.
