    Trying to rent an apartment. Starting to think it’s a scam.


    My girlfriend and I are apartment hunting in Salamanca, Spain. We want to move there in August and would like to have an apartment booked prior to that.

    We’re talking to this owner and this is what he sent us (email screenshot above). Not sure if we’re translating it right, but it sounds like we pay €1500 upfront before even signing the lease?

    Can someone help us understand if this is real or a scam?

      This definitely looks like a scam, Booking is not involves in these types of rentals.

      Scam 100%. Booking doesn’t provide the service they are mentioning. By the way, there are also few gramma errors, which is also a clear give away of scammers!

      I dont know gow renting though booking works i hope someone can check if what explained its the usual.

      But sadly it is common to as for a month in advance plus a “security” of 2-3 months the “fianza” when renting
