Trust your gut. It's a scam.
Trust your gut—this service is exactly what it seems: a scam. I know you want to believe it’s not. Maybe you need to believe it’s not. You were down on your luck, so you Googled something like “bad credit apartments,” right? And presto—you saw an ad in the sidebar. They had a phone number, a business address, a website. It looked legit. It’s not. Here’s how the scam works: You click the link and land on a website straight out of the ‘90s, complete with a janky “referral form.” You fill it out. A message pops up saying they’ve “found a match” for you and that more details will be sent via email. Then you get the email. They refer you to another business—probably Corporate Moves—that claims it can help you find housing. It all seems semi-legit because Corporate Moves has made a real effort to look like an actual company. But here’s the truth: they’re referring you to themselves. The domains forrentnocredit.com and corp-moves.com share the same IP address. They are the same operation. And Corporate Moves is not providing a legitimate service. Their sole purpose is to scam you out of every dollar they can. It starts with pressure. “Amanda” from corp-moves.com will flood your phone with texts claiming there are “50 people in line behind you,” so you need to act now. Fill out this form. Sign that release. Send $300 immediately “to get started.” That $300? It’s a test. A test to see how gullible you are. If you send it, they know you’re a good mark. Next comes a fake “approval” email, followed by requests for thousands more. Thankfully, I didn’t fall for it all the way. Before things escalated, I got suspicious. I started digging. I ran background checks on the names listed on both websites. I searched every Secretary of State database I could find. None of it checked out. The “employees” are fake. The businesses are unregistered. So I called them out. And—big surprise—“Amanda” reacted exactly like others have reported. She called me unhinged, threatened to contact my employer, and tried to intimidate me. I laughed. I told her the only thing my employer would say is, “Put a fraud alert on your Social Security number.” Then they blocked me. If you're looking for a legitimate lease guarantor, services like The Guarantors exist—and they operate very differently from this scam. Compare their professionalism, transparency, and legal compliance to the shady pressure tactics you’ll see here. The difference is night and day. Stay sharp. Stay skeptical. Stay safe.
