Anyone offering to send the keys and contract for a rental is a scammer. Just stop responding to this criminal and ignore all emails, or other attempts to contact you.

Never send money for a rental without an in person inspection. Just like you found the scammers will often read real estate listing and the post the same property for rent at a low price. They hope to get a payment from the victims before they discover the scam.

It is ALWAYS a scam
If the pet seller or shipper asks for money to be sent via Western Union, Money Gram, any brand of gift card. Walmart To Walmart , Zelle , PayPal friends and family option, or mentions Cameroon
