I got the same message. Did you ever find out if this was a scam?? I never filled out their information. They would not tell me where the property is located.

I think that this is a scam. Why would someone run a credit check over the internet without ever showing you the property. Imagine you’re about to giving this company ALL the information they need to steal your identity.

It’s a scam. Don’t do it.

I got the same thing this morning, when I contacted them again and asked a question before sending my credit report, I got no reply... so I am not about to send them any personal information.

I too received an email from the same company, did exactly what you did before doing anything, because it felt like it was a scam to me. Were you looking in the Maryland area or somewhere else.

I did find out some information regarding BNP and it is called Brisbane North Properties located in Australia. Nothing here sounds legit!

I agree w/the above posters for their Various reasons. I’d be very leery of releasing my SS # to a… ¿Craig’s List Posting??

Where are they based out of Nairobi? … get my drift?!

They appear to be a scam.

Among the indicators: Their URL was registered just in September. Since then, their web traffic has soared. They’re using a service to hide their contact information.

It’s not clear that, despite the name, that they’re really a licensed real estate firm.

Despite their assurance that the credit check is "completely free," it isn’t. There’s an initial and monthly charge; read the fine print at the bottom of the page.

Few reputable businesses would use a gmail account as an e-mail account.

And I just don’t like the tone of the e-mail.

My advice: Steer very clear of this group.
