Rental Verified Searching for an apartment and when I contacted the person, it said I needed to fill in a thing with Rental Verified Broomfield Colorado

I too received a response to an email I sent while looking for an apartment through Craigslist.  It looks very similar to the one you received.  This person gave me a link to rentalverified.com and I entered the information and paid the fee.  I replied to the 'renter's' email but did not yet give her my phone number or copy of my report.  (whew) After surfing the net for more apartments, I came upon this site reporting the scam. 

Well, I made some quick calls, both to my bank and rentalverified.com.  I have the bank watching for negative activity for rentalverified.com, and was assured by the rentalverified.com customer service people that the company is real and unless I found them through Craigslist, they can be trusted.  Not like my words mean anything to anyone, but I trust the people I talked to as they apologized for my inconvenience and have refunded all of my money.!  [I will continue to watch my account and kick myself daily for falling for this one though.]

So, I guess I want to point out to the public here, that rentalverified.com seems to be legit, (as I have talked to three different customer service people there already today).  Their Terms and Conditions state that if you found them through a craigslist ad/email, you can let them know and they will refund your money.  They did for me.  It is the 'people' on craigslist that are suspicious.  How unfortunate-we can trust no one on that site.

Either the scammers got the full $29 or they got a kickback...now they have all your information...I suggest you spend a weekend afternoon researching common interent scams...
