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

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.
