Don’t Fall for CPN Scams in Houston Apartments

Finding the right apartment in Houston can feel overwhelming—especially if you’ve faced challenges like bad credit, a past broken lease, or rental debt. In the middle of your search, you might come across people offering a so-called "quick fix" with something called a Credit Privacy Number (CPN).

⚠️ Here’s the truth: CPNs are a scam.

What Is a CPN?

Scammers claim that a CPN is a "new Social Security number" you can use to apply for apartments, loans, or credit cards. They market it as a way to “start fresh” if you’ve had credit problems in the past.

But what they don’t tell you is that:

• CPNs are illegal. Using one on an apartment application is considered fraud.

• Many CPNs are actually stolen Social Security numbers, sometimes even belonging to children or seniors.

• If you use a CPN, you could face serious legal trouble, including fines or even jail time.

Why Do People Fall for It?

It’s easy to understand why someone would be tempted. Houston has thousands of apartment communities, and approval can feel like an uphill battle if your credit isn’t perfect. Scammers prey on that stress, offering what looks like a shortcut.

But instead of getting approved for a new apartment, you could end up with a fraud charge—and that’s far worse than a broken lease or a low credit score.

The Safer Alternative: Work With a Licensed Apartment Locator
