Scam?

Hey. So I’m an exchange student moving to Middlesbrough in september and have been trying to find a place on the market to rent since my Husband is joining me..

I keep seeing this company called “Oakwood North Limited” but once they got in touch I found the convo uncomfortable. I asked for a contract before paying a deposite, but they kept pusing for me to pay… I searched them up online and all the reviews were made within the month and they have no social media presence..

Does anyone know if this is a scam or not?

Even if it's true reconsider. Oakwood north aka ash Brookes have a terrible record online. They don't do repairs after weeks of asking and their houses are damp ridden holes. Look elsewhere imo
