Yesterday’s email brought “news” of “the brand new Zumper web platform.”
In its previous incarnation Zumper seemed to be nothing more than a garbage dump of deceptive rental service ads.
In its new incarnation Zumper strikes me as nothing more than a garbage dump of deceptive rental service ads with a more sophisticated search engine optimization strategy.
The use of actual addresses in many of Zumper’s ads ratchets up the odds that you’ll be deceived into thinking you’re contacting a property when you’re only reaching a rental service that may or may not have a relationship with the property.
If you’re a sucker who’d rather be spammed by rental services than be given honest information by properties, head for Zumper.
that wasn’t true for me when I moved last summer. I moved into the apartment I emailed on zumper
I’ve looked at nearly 100 Zumper ads in Chicago and they were ALL from rental services.
You’ll have to pardon my suspicion that your story simply isn’t true.
