From a listing posted on Rent.com, I applied for more information and a tour from the landlord listed. Afterward I received an application from AVAIL which required personal information to complete a renter screening, including my social security number, driver license, and a pay stub from my work. This information was submitted (at least the SSN was supposedly encrypted) to TransUnion for a background check. All of this was within my session on AVAIL. The next day, I see my AVAIL background check was completed by TransUnion. And then I received a new email from a new person claiming to be the landlord of the rental property for which I applied. This person had a different name than the AVAIL check requestor but the same number as the original posted listing on Rent.com. He supplied a link to the below site which he was soliciting more information from me, including most of the things I had already provided AVAIL but additionally asking for "how much money I would be willing to put as a down payment (the more months I prepay the better the deal for rent)." He also reached via text and asked me when I could move in and how many people would be residents. The scariest part was that he offered for me to visit anytime as a self-oriented walk through since he was out of state and would just give me the pass code. I'm not sure what would've happened if I had gone, but since both Rent.com has removed the listing and AVAIL accredited my credit card for the application fee.
