Contacted a landlord with an account created this month (?) and this was one of her replies. I’ve been told to be careful and for some reason this sounds fishy. Would you agree?

Read those two Wiki pages, particularly the second one.
It’s not “fishy”, it’s a scam.
Nothing works like that. Landlords want to meet their tenants, but to vet them, not to “let themselves be registered together”.
You will end up paying the fake “logistics company”.
German does invite you to create long sentences, but those are a bit over the top long.
Would say it‘s a scam. The sending of the keys is super fishy.
its so obvious that it is a scam.. why do people still asked 6 times a week on reddit?

100% scam
It is so fishy that you can smell the fish even 500 km away
Scam
“Next to Haus Wahnfried” — do they mean the Richard Wagner Museum?
Total BS scam, and quite amateur even.
100% a scam. If they want to mail you the Keys, it is a scam, always. And the German in this mail is really bad. I always wonder why scammers don’t ask ChatGPT or a native to check their texts.
Scam. If you want to see how it works, play with them and agree to them. But **do not pay anything** before you have the keys and seen the flat and signed a contract. And i bet all three points will not happen, even if you would pay. Also use a throwaway mail and don’t give them personal data, best use a fake name and tell them you don’t have a phone number because you have to wait for the contract or such bullshit… oh, maybe I’m too much on r/scambait, just look for another flat.
A german landlord wants to meet the new tennant personally. This ist a Scam
