Always check the SSN.

Booking a tour has no reason to need your Social Security number and a photo of your licence. With those, someone can open credit in your name, and there is usually no house to see.

1Where it livesIs it the real company's or person's own address or number?

zillow.com is Zillow's own site.

keystone-propertymgmt-verify.com is a "verify" site from a stranger, not a listing site.

2What it asks you to doCheck firstDoes it want a password, a payment, a call, or a tap?

It asks for a time, your name and your phone number.

It wants your Social Security number, date of birth and both sides of your licence.

3How hard it pushesIs there a deadline, a threat, or a surprise charge?

No rush.

You only get the address and lockbox code after you "verify".

RememberNever give your Social Security number just to see a home. That only comes with a real lease application, after you've met the landlord.
