We catch the scams so you don't have to.
Craigslist is full of fake apartment listings. I check every new listing the moment it goes up and quietly hide the scams, so the listings you see are the real ones. Here's how that's going lately.

How it works
Every new Craigslist apartment listing gets checked the moment it appears. Listings with the tell-tale signs of a scam are flagged and kept out of what we send you. We keep score against the listings Craigslist itself later removes for fraud, so we know how well we're doing, and where we still miss.
