SCAM ALERT: If you are looking for rentals on Craigslist, do NOT singup for creditreport.com

I fell for it...



The ad looked very convincing, and the lister told us we needed to signup for creditreport.com in order to provide them our rental history.  Turns out it was totally bogus and just a way for them to get credit for the referral using an affiliate link.  Luckily we were using a legit website when we signed up, but others aren't so lucky and provide their personal info to a fishing website.  I know what to look out for, so I would have see that coming.  Everything appeared completely legit until the person listing the property just stopped communicating with us mysteriously.  A Google search revealed the scam.
