They attach a rental application and tell you to send it back to confirm your interest. If you e-mail them back to ask to see the place before you do the app, you will never hear from them again.
I wonder how many idiots have had their identity stolen with this scam already.

Omg, I had this happen, but I replied by text message on my phone, and didn't fill out an ap. I wonder if they could still get my info anyway?
