<prompt> Human: First of all Im from Sweden so the here laws are probably a little different here from U.S for example.Me and three friends have found a house that we want to rent. We live approximately 6 hours from where we want to rent the house and made an appointment with the owner of the house 2 weeks from now to watch it irl and to sign a contract. Yesterday the owner called me up and told us that he needed a deposit of 5000 Swedish crowns approximately 700 which we paid yesterday. Now in the middle of the night he tells me that he needs 7000sek 1000 before 9 a.m. it is 3 a.m. atm because his accountant is going on a vacation tomorrow and need the money to make a recipe for went we sign the contract. Are we getting scammed? Or is it normal to pay one months rent in advance?  <response>: Yea...dont give him any more money. Tell him you will pay when the lease contract is signed.The accountant story sounds like bullshit. He can print out a receipt in two seconds online.
