Where is it listed?

What the landlord has said or done

Says they're currently abroad and can't show the apartment in person
Asked for a deposit or transfer before you've seen the apartment
Asked to be paid via Western Union, crypto, or gift cards
Refused or dodged a video call when you asked for one
Pressured you to decide fast ("someone else is interested")
Listing or messages have odd spelling or grammar

This is a quick self-check based on common scam patterns — it looks at what you told it, nothing more. It isn't proof of anything, and it can't replace someone actually standing in the apartment and confirming it's real.
