Possible scam?

[Vasilis23]

Hi all. Need your help 

FIRST time to airbnb and i belive my story is weird and possible scam

I Live in London  and i looked to rent flat on Central London.

I was looking on site that was only with landlords not agency. (the house shop)

And i found a 2 bed flat 900 POUNDS PER Month. Near the london bridge. 

I email the  man and asked to arrange viewing. He told me that he is on Spain for business and he will be back in London in 2 months. He offered me to use airbnb for a third party for the first month, and then he will sent me a contract for long term.

I said to him OK what is the next steps?

He told me that he will send me a special offer throw airbnb with 900GBP rent and 900GBP deposit. 1800GBP total.

He told me that i will drop the money to the special offer. Then he will send me the keys via DHL Express and I will go to the flat to enter, and then I will do the check in. And after that he will sent me the contract.

I ask her were he will send the special offer. And he answer that he is got my full name ( I gave it to him) 

And he will send me the special offer via airbnb

I personally went outside the building and i saw that the photos Mach with the location. 

I need help guys i don't know what to do. Shall i continue and pay this guy or no?

This is a scam. The link you'll have been sent will look like an Airbnb link but will have a hyphen or dot extension after the com. 100% scam. 

And a "2 bed flat 900 POUNDS PER WEEK" should tell you all you need to know.

It's 900GBP per month sorry about that i will edit it
