No do not do it. They have listings which they collect through places where you can get the info yourself. Apartments.com rent.com and classifieds. You dont need to pay them I fell for that one time only I paid 89!

Keep in mind if you have to pay up front any time now and future until the end of you time, " DON'T PAY " honest business, they should measure by result and no up front money.
Let's say, if one can scam for $30 of 10% population, wouldn't it make one a multimiliionaire ($900 Million richer)?

Don't pay for the an apartment finder service. Any city of any decent size has apartment finders that are free to the renter (the landlord pays).
Or, search online using keywords "apartment rental" and the name of your town/area. You will get many hits.
Or, spend $1.00 on a local paper to get the classified.

We can't really say, they may be legit.
Try looking them up at bbb.org I always use the phone number, as sometimes the business license is not exactly what they are claiming to be.
If there is no record (they record ALL businesses, not just members) or there is anything negative I would avoid them.

NO!
try rent.com or apartments.com, they're free
Craigslist in general is great, but this ad is a scam - report it
