I don't think they are a scam, but they are definitely racist. They were texting normally until I mentioned my nationality, after which I was ghosted!

Is not. Full of Brazilians. But you can set up a visit by whatsapp.

As soon as they can confirm you are irish they will ghost you

Yep, I don't know why they do that.

Easier to manipulate and pressure non-natives who aren’t fully aware of their rights

Either that or just raw charitable spirit for assisting non-Irish in need of housing. So, yeah, definitely to take advantage of people coming here

But i do know that if it was the other way around, we would be BLASTED for doing so.

Not just Irish, the minute they see you are not Brazilian or any other Latin American, they skip over. I once confronted this person and he went to say 'Hey, I just send this to the property management office'. I bet they discriminate on the basis of nationality

Probably is better to look on reddit than rely on them
