How to tell if it is a Scam

Are the following sites trustworthy?
https://rental.turbotenant.com/p/3731-artesia-blvd-torrance-ca/1014893
Many places ask for various personal information before viewing and I was concerned about the same here.
I would like to be aware that Scam seems to be rampant, but it would be much more helpful if I could find it online, so I would like your opinion.

Is it normal now for the first email to ask dozens of questions and a picture of the drivers license?
I think in the past where it was considered scam, it was about $ 40 or so for the above plus a fee for SSN and credit history check.
I don't mind paying the fee at all, but that much in my first email? I was worried.
In the past, I used to give my name and phone number first, and then give my personal information and pay the fee when I was about to sign the contract after the preview.

You have an address, so why don't you just go there and see if you can get a ForRent sign
, or at least go look around and see what it looks like.

I checked Scamadvisor and the site itself is about 10 years old and has a trust rating of 87 / 100, so it is not a Scam site.

In my experience so far, it's hard to tell if it's scam or not with that.
Sometimes you can really go to the address place with a RENT and not have it signed.
(I haven't been there yet this time, but I have. )
Furthermore, there is an email that says "don't go to the place because there are still residents there" (a countermeasure by scam's side in their own evil way to prevent you from going to that place and not being found out? I think it's a tricky measure on the part of the scammer to prevent people from going there and being discovered.
Sometimes it is. Is it difficult to solve the problem by going to see the appearance and surroundings?
I'm having trouble with scammers because they only take fees and run away or steal personal information.

If you have used this site, please advise me.

I have already emailed the other party that I would like to exchange personal information with them after I have actually previewed the house, and I am waiting for a reply.

I see that there is something called Scamadvisor.
Very helpful. I will check it out too.

After all, are things different now than they were a few years ago? But I did preview one a while ago, and all I had to do was give them my name, phone number, and the date I wanted to preview it. Sorry for the series of posts.

There are many scams. Going to that address and looking from the outside will not give you peace of mind.

You are so annoying! If you don't like being asked for personal information before meeting someone, why don't you just stop asking?
if you are suspicious of Scam, it's not the site, it's the lender ?
this site came up on top when I googled it, it's a perfectly good site ? what are you worried about
I posted a private sale here once and got a text message I had a woman once who told me why I had to give her personal information ?
when I sent a text message to her cell phone.

The address is listed, which from the landlord's point of view means that I don't have time to waste, so you should come and see the place for yourself first, and then contact me when you are satisfied with the appearance and the surrounding area
When buying a house or renting an apartment, it is usually necessary to check the exterior, security, traffic conditions, and noise level. I don't know why anyone would suddenly make an appointment without doing that
It's kind of a waste of time ?.

It's true.
No information, just a lot of wanting to write. They say you can go to the divorce topic too.

He wants to write, or rather, troll.

If you don't want to write, or if you don't write, nothing will get done in the first place. Exchange Square.

What if a couple buys separately and one of them wins a large sum of money?

Since they won a large sum of money by themselves, they may not tell each other
and may consider divorcing and living a life of elegance by themselves.
