Are these people working for the "free credit report" site? It seems to me like there is no apartment, they just want people to sign up for crap at their sites with trial (3 days!) memberships.
Here's an example of a reply I got:
Hi,
Thank you for contacting regarding the rental. We'd like to give you more information about the apartment, but before that we need to know if you are currently up to date with your credit report.
Viewing your personal credit rating for free is easy, using the following link:
http://www.usacreditreporting.com
(The process is free & safe - and only takes a minute to fill out).
The reason for this check is because with the declining economy, there have been a larger number of defaulting tenants - we don't have any reason to believe you are not a good tenant, but we just need to protect ourselves in this economic environment.
Please, email me back when you have completed the application so we can set an appointment for you to view the apartment!
Thank you..
