<prompt> Human: My wife and I are moving cities, and have found a nice looking apartment. I have been speaking to the women online she is subletting her apartment for a year as she picked up a 1 year job interstate, and she has sent through a rental agreement. She was asking for the first months rent plus security deposit 1500 total to be sent to the landlord, but I was a bit worried about sending this much money.They have agreed to take 200 before we arrive and then we pay the rest when we get there to the landlord. She wants the payment to done via Walmart Money Gram.Is it safe to send 200 VIA Walmart Money Gram before we get to the city or is this a scam? Im not sure how this stuff is usually done in the USA as I havent been here long.EDIT: I have not toured the apartment as I am still in a different state. The 200 would be to prove our commitment so the landlord knows we wont bail. They have also taken the ad off of Craigslist now that we came to an agreement.Assistant: Have you actually toured this property?Typical practice would be deposit to reserve the property and first months rent when keys are exchanged.Human: I havent, I just updated my OP to reflect why. We are still in a different state and dont get to the new city until the day were meant to move in.  <response>: Transfer NO money until youve toured this apartment in person. This is a common scam. That shes saying shes out of state is greater cause for concern because this is usually the excuse used why they cant offer a tour.
