I filled out a lease application and I'm scared it might have been fake, I had to put my social, birthdate, and name. What should can I do?
I filled out a application for this house off craigslist and I'm not sure if its real or not after I filled it out and sent it in he didn't say much afterwards, and now I'm learning that people can scam future home owners.

Most applications require birth date & ss#. SS# is needed to run credit check. Yes there are a million scams on cl but nothing you posted says scam in & of itself. Just asking for bd & ss# does not mean it is a scam.
It is good to have a fraud alert in general.
Source(s): Every application every company I have ever worked for or rented from required birth date & ss#. Oregon has state standardized forms. The state of Oregon created application requires it. - curtisports2Lv 72 years ago
You got scammed. No landlord has any need for your SS# or birthdate. They need your name, current address, and your current employer and income information.
