Free Scam Check

Paste it before you pay. Check a listing, broker message, or fee request for the rental scam patterns NYC renters keep running into.

Facebook and private groups may not be readable from a URL. Pasted text still works.

What to paste from Facebook

  • The listing body, rent, neighborhood, and exact address if one is shown.
  • The poster or broker message that asks for a fee, deposit, documents, or payment app.
  • Any screenshots typed out if the Facebook group, Marketplace post, or DM is private.

What gets checked

  • Payment before a real tour
  • Hard-to-reverse payment methods
  • Remote key, lockbox, or out-of-town stories
  • Broker-fee and document requests that need written proof

After the listing passes

  • Save the listing, lease timing, and building rules.
  • Check COI, elevator, truck access, deliveries, and first-night needs.
  • Turn the move into a board before furniture and setup tasks pile up.
