That is very good advice. We do the same procedure when it comes to contacting the  current landlord and have busted one already who put a fake reference on the app. We have even reached out to landlords via Facebook when we couldn't develop our own number for the landlord.

Calling tenant provided numbers for references is a bad practice, IMO.
