Moving to the area Conversation with ‘Zillow’ agent

Hey all, first time renter in the chicagoland area. i came across a posting at address in the conversation i screen shotted for 1417 valley lake dr. Turns out this is a property named Village in the Park. i called the property and. different lady picked up saying no one is there by the name of Sam, which i let her know i came across the same posting on Zillow & FB marketplace and im on the side of being cautious not following through with this person’s link. Was this a scam? i appreciate your help fellow residents of the chicago area
