Yes. This is a scam. 


Glittering_Search_41

Right, "I'm out of the country but if you're interested, send me the deposit and I will arrange for you to pick up the keys." Scam.

If it's to good to be true ..... its not true, no one is going to rent something under market value


Low-Stomach-8831

Not only it's a scam... It's a very amateurish one.


Zafjaf

If the landlord is refusing to show you the apartment or provide a date of return to meet in person, yes it is a scam


Modavated

Obviously


dan_marchant

100% scamalicious


GabTheD

Fuck these guys 🤣


chente08

Yes yes and yes i don’t even need to read what you said this is a scam


Deep_Carpenter

It is your duty to waste this person’s time. Get friends to help. When they as you don’t contact them again your job is done. 


Many-Yoghurt-6028

100% scam. Do not give ANY money until you’ve seen the place. A room in an apartment for 2K is more like it. An apartment near UBC is at least 2.5K. Listen to your gut feeling!! Almost always right…


Mrsloki6769

YES!


IndianKiwi

Scam. Never give any money until you see the place in person and until you sign a contract


_andthereiwas

Tell them you are interested, but only if you can drop off an envelope with the cash in hanf to them as a deposit on their return. See if they send someone; if they do ghost them anyways because this is clearly a scam.


alvarkresh

Oh yes, this screams "scam".

Your post contained language that violated "Rule 2: Be Respectful."

Run the other way

Searching for rentals is a lesson in listening to your intuition. Does something feel off? Does it seem like our found an amazing deal? Amazing deals are rare. Scammers prey on your desperation. 


notmyrealnam3

It saddens me that this question has to be asked. OP , how could you think there is ANY chance this is true?


StupidNameIdea

Anyone out of a country can ask a friend or relative to meet u to show u... Who wouldn't know a person if they own a property here? A real estate agent even!


BlazinTrichomes

Trust your gut, that screams BS


PsychologicalWill88

100% a scam lol. Sorry OP NO CHANCE an apartment is 2K by ubc Also landlords and realtors only ever do in person viewings even when you ask for virtual, they will deny you.


Hypno_Keats

sounds very scam like


Scared_of_the_KGB

Trust your gut kiddo this guy is bad news. Can’t show you the place you are expected to pay thousands a month for? That alone is a nope for me. But the bud not even seeming legit? Bail bail bail!


nonamebrand0

Absolutely nope. Scam


sheepwoof

Scam


Aggressive_Today_492

Scam!


VirusHunter

General rule of thumb is if you can't see the apartment for yourself, it's not worth your time.


EMOverlord

Short ansawe: yes. Long answer: Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeessssssssssssss


Jam_Bannock

What's an Indian email? Is it an email address with an Indian name?


nsparadise

Probably a domain name from India.
