<prompt> Human: So keeping things short, was job searching when I saw a studio apartment in one of the most expensive parts of downtown Toronto for only 650, contacted the seller and was able to seal a lease for Late August - June 2019. It comes with everything, like this is a luxury apartment. This will also be the first time I rented out a place on my own as opposed to my sister being the one doing most of the work for me. Im meeting with the person whos flying in from Paris to come meet with me this week and he told me to bring the rent last rents money for the deposit, but I just gotta ask... Isnt it too soon? Since Im moving in late August? or is this normal?The person told me that the previous person living there was his daughter and that she recently moved out, so he needs someone living there to keep it maintained. But something about this seems fishy to me, like its too good to be true.Edit: Guy, I appreciate the responses greatly but the second he asks me that I need to wire him money Im going to tap out, yall need to chill thinking I would.Welp... He just sent me Edit 2: Im not meeting him. It was obvious that it was a scam but I just wanted to explore my options. Thanks again guys.Assistant: Have you seen the apartment? Have you verified the broker is real? Why is the broker coming from Paris? Did you sign a lease, what does seal even mean?Sounds scammish.Human: Apparently when I meet with him this friday, Ill give my deposit and Ill sign the lease, then hell hand me over the keys exact words from his email.  <response>: Its a scam, buddy. Listen to your friends on this thread, and more importantly, listen to your gutintuition. This person will claim at the last minute that he cant come and will either ask you to wire the money to him and hell have his friend meet you on the day you move in with the keys he wont, or hell meet you and accept your money, hand you a key that wont work and be gone. With these types of scam listings, the lister is ALWAYS someone who is out of town in this case, Paris and will pull out of a face-to-face meeting shortly before youre actually supposed to meet.When it comes to rental listings, if it sounds too good to be true, it always is.
