<prompt> Human: So, I am interested in renting an apartment and I have read about checks that bounced on here before but this scam seems a little different from that. The person renting out the apartment claims theyd have to fly in from Greece so we can look at the apartment in Germany. The conditions are juuust slightly too good to be true. This is the email she sent me:Dear ..., If you are really interested and decided, you can secure the apartment from now on, and I would keep it available for you until we meet. It is unfortunate that my past bitter experience of inviting people to come and view my apartment without any form of confirmation of their financial ability and not keeping up to time as at when scheduled, has brought about great loss to me. Im sure you are honest person so please dont understand me wrong but some tenants are not really decided or do not have the money to pay the rent and yet they disturb me to arrange a viewing with their friends. My husband and I have decided to carry out a simple test on seriousness and financial ability before coming for viewing. I want to be sure that when well meet in Frankfurt, it might be a chance that well do the renting papers, sign the renting contract, give you the keys and return to my home if you really like the flat conditions. I will not ask for money in advance before moving in, I dont need any deposit from you or pay me any money at all. But as a warranty that you really can afford to rent my apartment, I require that you arrange a money transfer, on your name. Because I used this system with my daughter when she lived in Frankfurt, here is what I propose: You must ask a family member to find the nearest Western Union agency, and send a money transfer with the cost of the security deposit first months rent 880 480 1360 sent to you, and on your name. This transfer will be a warranty, so I can be sure that you will wait for me in Frankfurt when I will arrive. Example of transfer: senders name : family members name receivers name : ...receivers address : Frankfurt, Germany After the transfer is done, you will receive a receipt. You have to take a picture of it and send it to me attached trough e-mail, as evidence. This proof will be enough for me to see that your interest in renting my apartment is real. At my turn, I will book the flight ticket immediately and send you a copy of it. Then, we will set up a place and a time when we should meet in Frankfurt. After we meet, you will inspect the apartment and if you want to keep it, we will go to a notary office and do all the needed paperwork. Then, well go together to a bank branch that has a Western Union office and you will collect your money and make a bank deposit in my personal account where I want to receive the rent payment monthly. Please note that I will pay for the notary fees when signing the rental contract. Thank you for your time and understanding,Merna  <response>: I dont know exactly how this scam is supposed to play out, but theres no way its not a scam. Too much sketchiness to be legit.
