<prompt> Human: I am currently looking for housing in NYC for a few months, and found a great spot that is about 100 dollars cheaper than what Ive been looking at. The guy subletting I found through this Facebook group and he seems pretty normal, below average English because he is from France. But he wants me to wire his lawyer 700 dollars for a deposite. I found this odd and asked for his lawyers info which he sent his phone number. Havent had a chance to call because my time difference. I told him it seemed sketchy sending 700 dollars and he sent me a picture of his passport for reassurance. Is that enough to feel safe with?Additional info that makes me confused wether to trust him: Says his late mum was the land lord. Said a guy and a girl are looking at the other room in the apartment and asked if I was okay with either gender. His Facebook kinda looks like one of those fake cop accounts and doesnt even have the Add friend button. Has sent a picture of the interior of the apartment. Tried to Facebook video call me but failed blaming it on his platform not supporting for security reasons Has sent me a lease contract.Please forgive my poor English.Any advice is welcome!UPDATE: It is a scam, found pictures he sent me on a scamming awareness forum. Thank you for the help!  <response>: This is 100 scam. Stop talking to the scammer.Everything he said is fake. All of the names and addresses and photos are fake or stolen.Google for articles: NYC apartment scam
