I personally actively dislike Trulia/Zillow. More scams there than on Craigslist even.

- frandroid 12y agoWhat kind of scams?
- mdaniel 12y agoI don't know explicitly what kind of scams the parent commenter was intending, but I can say as an apartment shopper there are plenty of listings for apartments that appear as either just below market rate or sometimes $1000 below market rate. When you email them, they will request one of two things: a tenant application form which will amazingly request your SSN or bank account details, or they will request a cashiers check for "holding the apartment" or a "viewing fee." Don't get me wrong, when I write those out in English here, they seem absolutely a scam, but the way they are presented as an answer to some of the apartment inquiries, it's not so obvious. Those scumbags are skilled, too, just not in any kind of skill one would want to possess.
