Is this rental listing real?

Paste a listing and the landlord's messages; get red flags and what to verify.

What it does

Before you send a deposit, paste the rental listing and any messages from the "landlord" into any chat AI. It checks them against the FTC's rental scam red flags (like asking for a wire, gift card or crypto payment, no in-person showing, pressure to rush, or a price far below similar places) and gives you a list of things to verify before you pay anything.

Copy-paste prompt

No bot needed: paste this into Grok, ChatGPT, or Claude.

I'm looking at this rental. Here's the listing and the messages I've gotten:
[paste the listing text]
[paste the landlord's messages]

Please:
1. Check it against the FTC's rental listing scam signs: asking for payment by wire transfer, gift cards, crypto or payment apps; refusing to meet or show the place; pressure to pay fast; a price much lower than similar rentals; asking for a deposit before you've seen it or signed a lease.
2. List each red flag you find, quoting the part that raised it.
3. Give me a short list of things to verify (like searching the address and landlord name, checking property records, seeing the place in person).
4. Give a plain verdict: looks OK so far, be careful, or likely scam.

Don't tell me to click any links in the messages.
