Scam email received?

Hello.


I have received this emails:





Hello





Before we begin giving you more information on the apartment we need to know if you are currently up to date with your credit report. Obtaining your credit rating for free is easy, using the following link:





http://creditreporteveryone.com/creditch... (The process is free and safe and only takes a minute to fill out).





We have had a large number of defaulting tenants who came from Craigslist, so before we can set up an appointment with you we need to verify you are a credible tenant.





Once you have completed the application please e-mail us back.





IT IS A SCAM OR NOT?


PLEASE HELP.

Scam email received?
Every email you don't know who it is 80% a scam message. Just to let you know, NOTHING is free.
Reply:I don't6 think it's spam i think they just sent it to the wrong person.You had better tell them that or they might bill you for something you don't deserve.
Reply:scam
Reply:I believe it is a scam. i received the same email in response to a craigslist ad for an apt in baltimore. it stated that there was an open house today but it had no info as to where the open house or the apt was. So I emailed and got the same exact response. First of all, no one gives credit reports for free except for the government through www.annualcreditreport.com (i think that is the correct site). So before i was going to click that link, i googled the site w/ and w/o the spaces. I also googled the email that the person sent. Nothing, nada. In this instance my gut says SCAM... do not go to this site and input your info cause once you do, its all over if it is a scam. It is better to be safe than sorry.


BTW, there seems to be a few of them like that. I work for a rental company and no reputable company will let you bring your own report. It could be someone else's so we pull our own. In fact, you have to be licensed in order to do that. My advice: BEWARE!!!
