Typically, there are a few tells that can help you identify a scam offer, and a scam can typically include one or more of the following.

Be alert of "landlords" offering you a residence at rates that are much lower than the market standard. The old saying "If it seems too good to be true, it is probably not true" comes to mind.
Be alert of "landlords" who do refuse to provide a direct contact number or the possibility to view the apartment in person.
Be alert if the person is a resident in a country other than Denmark. Look out for email addresses which originate from UK, Germany or any other country outside Denmark. This could indicate that the address given for the property in Denmark may not exist.
Be aware of any irregularities in what is being offered to you.
Be alert of "landlords" who request you to transfer a deposit and/or rent via wire transfer services, such as Western Union, Moneybookers or Escrow, as these will most likely be transferred out of Denmark, and are untraceable and irreversible.
Never pay a deposit in cash. Make a bank transaction so the transaction can be traced. Make sure to transfer the payment to a Danish registration and account number.
Be alert of "landlords" offering you a residence to be paid in Euros or Pounds.
Never pay cash under the table. It is illegal and you have no legal way of getting your money back.
Be alert of "landlords" who request the above-stated deposit/rent before you have even signed a contract.
Make sure that you receive a contract signed by the current tenant(if it is a sublet) or landlord. Always read the contract carefully and make sure that what you agree on is also confirmed in writing.
Be alert of "landlords" who will pressure you into signing a contract or transferring money straight away. Do not feel pressured into signing anything.
Be alert of "landlords" who make their own contracts and do not make use of the official leasing contract. When subleasing a room or an apartment, you must make sure that the landlord/owner of the property is informed of the sublease. This will put you in a better position in case of a conflict between the landlord/owner and the person subletting to you. Should you in any way be unsure about the legitimacy of an offer you have received you can check who owns the property below.
Be alert of "landlords" who provide false addresses (addresses that do not exist) or do not specify the floor or apartment number. If you want to see if an address exists you can use this page: www.krak.dk
Before you commit to anything, make sure that you can register for your CPR number (civil registration number) at the property. It is mandatory to have a CPR number if you are a resident in Denmark - even short-term. You must have a valid address to apply for CPR. It is illegal to use a different address for this purpose. If the person from whom you are renting will not permit you to register their address with the citizen service, do not accept the offer.
