Proptech Startup Showdigs Releases Anti-Rent Scam Product

It isn’t all that often a company comes up with a new and different offering for commercial real estate. But Showdigs seems to have managed it.

The proptech startup has announced a new type of property security offering called Listing Shield. “The new tool, available to residential property managers nationwide, detects and removes fraudulent rental property listings from marketplace sites like Craigslist and Facebook,” a press release says. “The scam monitoring is amplified by an additional layer of protection that uses AI to validate government IDs and then matches facial structure to the age of the lead requesting a tour — ensuring scammers can’t get access to rental properties in the first place.”
