Reply to comment by alizadk in Scam? by No-Philosophy-6530

no, I’m not at DC atm, so I told this person that I’ll wait to be there and look at the apartment in person and then he insisted on making the deposit and if I didn’t like it he will return it to me, I don’t know, my gut says its a scam and if not, something worse

Classic scam, don't even think about doing business with someone who wants a deposit before you sign a lease. You will never see that money again.

Don’t let people rush you. There are apartments all over the city. Rushing is a classic sign of a scam
