Lazy real estate agent can't be bothered to show a unit and just give callers a key code.
Scammers get the code and relist the unit on craigslist $100-$200 below. They try to get people to pay the security deposit and first months rent to them.
Even if you don't care about helping scammers, you're also getting duplicate listings slightly under the cost of the actual listing, taking traffic away from your craigslist ad.
