I’m abroad, but you can reserve the place today.
Can we schedule a viewing first?
Please send the deposit now to secure it.
I’ll need proof of ownership before payment.

Advice

Still unsure? Get a Inspect inspection.

  • Do not send any money or ID until you have verified the address, viewed the property (in person or live video with proof of access), and signed a legitimate lease.
  • If Airbnb is mentioned, only communicate and pay inside the official Airbnb website/app; never use links from emails or bank transfers to Airbnb agents or invoices.
  • Ask for the full address and proof of ownership (title/land registry extract and a utility bill matching the owner). Verify independently.
  • Insist on a standard local tenancy agreement and deposit handling compliant with local law (e.g., protected deposit scheme where applicable).
  • Search the text and any photos online to see if the ad or pictures are reused elsewhere under different locations or prices.
  • Compare the rent to typical market rates; a below-market price with urgency is a red flag.
  • Request a local representative or licensed agent to show the property; if they refuse, walk away.
  • Avoid wire transfers, crypto, or gift cards; use traceable, reversible methods only after verification.
  • Keep all communications on a reputable platform; avoid switching to private email/messaging.
  • Report the listing/message to the platform or local consumer protection if they push for payment without a verified viewing.

Verify independently and never send money based solely on this report.

Landlord verification does not replace a property viewing. If the messages themselves feel suspicious, use the free rental scam checker. If you cannot attend the viewing, request a physical rental inspection.

The ownership check helped me confirm whether the person renting out the place was connected to the property.

The next steps were practical: verify the address, ask for a viewing, and avoid paying before the lease was clear.
