<prompt> Human: I dont know which other sub to post this in. Basically, she is in another country and has the keys but wants us to pay her first. We didnt check the house out yet or do any investigating to make sure no one is living there. Is there a safe way to go about paying her where we can get a refund if it is a scam?This might be a stupid question, but the house is almost perfect for us the way its described, and we are getting a little desperate. Also, were really new to this sort of thing  <response>: Dont. Its a scam.
