<prompt> Human: Hi there, so Im moving to a new city and found a place on craigslist that seems almost too good to be true red flag 1. I sent an email inquiring about it and the reply seemed very excited but the writers English was all over the place. They had a few more questions for me which I answered and the next day they said I was approved and they were super excited to rent to me. They also included this tidbit in their email All deposits should be in form of a certified Money Orders, Cashwalmart to walmart and Money Gram from you or roommate No check deposit should be made because, we intend filing all payments for record purposethe payIve never had a landlord not accept a check and I have no idea how walmart to walmart is any more of a record than a bank statement. Is this a normal thing that I dont know about yet or should I just quit while Im ahead?  <response>: My last apartment, which was through a major housing company in the area that owned several large complexes, required a cashiers check for the initial deposit but then accepted regular checks or online payments for rent. So not accepting checks for the deposit is not in of itself a red flag.However, in this case, the asked for forms of payment are all the usual ones that are specifically used for scams notice there is no cashiers check there, which I believe has more protections for the person sending the money. So Id steer clear.
