Add a free rental scam check to your site

One copy-paste iframe gives your visitors an instant scam check on any rental listing, link, phone number, or landlord message: payment red flags, pressure tactics, our crowd-sourced scammer blocklist, and county-record verification. Free, no API key, no JavaScript. Every check you host also helps protect the next renter.

1. Copy the embed code

<iframe src="https://www.remotepropview.com/embed/scam-check"
  width="100%" height="560" loading="lazy"
  style="max-width:480px;border:1px solid #e2e8f0;border-radius:12px"
  title="Free rental scam check by Remote Prop View"></iframe>

Works in any HTML page, WordPress/Webflow/Wix embed block, or CMS that allows iframes. Adjust width/height freely; the widget is responsive.

2. That is it

The widget carries a small "Powered by Remote Prop View" attribution link. Need higher limits or a server-side integration? See the partner API.

Who embeds this

Apartment locators

Give clients an instant "is this listing legit" check next to every referral. You look safer than the portals.

University off-campus housing

Students are the #1 rental-scam target. A scam check on your housing resources page protects them before the deposit.

Roommate + sublet boards

Peer-to-peer listings are where fake landlords fish. Let users verify a contact before they reply.

Property managers + landlords

Scammers clone your legitimate listings. Give prospects a way to confirm they are talking to the real you.

Embedding: common questions

Is the scam-check widget really free?

Yes. The embedded widget is free for your visitors and free for your site, with a small "Powered by Remote Prop View" attribution link. Guests get a daily number of free checks; unlimited checks require a free RPV account.

How do I add the widget to my site?

Copy the iframe snippet on this page and paste it into any HTML page, CMS block, or site builder that allows embeds. No API key, no JavaScript, no account needed.

What does the widget actually check?

It analyzes pasted listing text, links, phone numbers, and emails for known scam patterns: payment red flags (wire, gift cards, crypto), pressure tactics, flagged contacts from our crowd-sourced DFW scam blocklist, and addresses with no matching county record.

Can I get higher limits or a direct API instead of the iframe?

Yes. Partners with real volume (locators, property managers, platforms) can use the keyed partner API endpoint with much higher limits. See the API access page for details.
