Is that rental listing a scam?

Paste a listing or a message from anywhere — Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, a text — and we'll scan it with the same Scam Shield that screens every listing on Sharelet: off-platform payment requests, pressure tactics, hidden contact info, and more.

The 5 signs of a rental scam

  • 💸 They want a wire, Zelle, gift cards, or crypto — before a viewing.
  • 🌍 The “owner” is out of the country and can't show the place.
  • 📬 They'll “mail you the keys” after you pay a deposit.
  • 🏷️ The price is dramatically below everything else in the area.
  • ⏱️ Pressure: “act fast, first to pay gets it.”
