      Read those Wiki pages, particularly the second one.

      And yes, that is a scam.

      100% scam. Please report it to the website and attach a screenshot of this email as evidence.

      You NEVER pay anything it advance, neither for a viewing nor rent itself.

      Bro is literally asking you to send him the money without any contract and yet you go like „is this a scam?”. Really?

      Also, what’s up with the posts of people getting scammed. Like that dude that sent his MacBook Pro or the other guy who gave cash to a stranger. How do you people manage to stay alive is beyond me

      Sounds like a scam. Only pay after contract has been signed.

      Yes, spunds like a known scam mostly targeting foreigners. The place you applied for normally does not exist, or rather, does not belong to the person you are talking to.
      I read versions of the scam where they even had access to an appartment and give you the keys to it after you paid – just for the scammed person later to find out it was an AirBnB

      Definitely 100% a scam. Why else would they ask for money up front not via bank transfer (where you could recall the money)

      Does he mention [booking.com](http://booking.com) too?

      Stay away from it. Unfortunately I fell for it when I was in Germany for few months and had to immediately look for a new place to live. Due to stress caused by lack of time and being alone (and on top of that getting rejected by all house owners) I fell for it and lost money and I also sent photos of my ID like a complete dumbass…There’re no excuses for my lack of awareness though but yeah, hätte, hätte, Fahrradkette
