<prompt> Human: Im looking to move out from my parents home to move closer to work. I found a nice cheap place online and I contacted the owner. In the add it says the rent is 550 with a 450 refundable security deposit.First thing that I thought was strange was that he told me he went to Africa to be a doctor there, which is why he was renting cheap. He sends me an application and the last questions are about what time I work and how much money I have saved up and Ive never seen those questions in any other applications.After a couple hours he responds again saying hes excited to have me as his tenant. He said that he can send me the keys and house documents, but I would have to send a 1000 money gram to him first, which is one months rent and the security deposit. This is my first time renting so I dont know much, but this whole thing feels like its too good to be true. If I do go with it and dont get the documents and keys, can I legally get my money back or not since he lives in a different country?  <response>: This is a classic scam. A legitimate property owner who is out of country will have a local property manager to handle leasing and accept payments. This person does not own the property they are renting to you, and you will never see that money again. Have you gone to the address? You may find that it either doesnt exist, or is already occupied by tenants andor an owner who have no knowledge of it being rented by this individual.
