Usually how you pay the 2+1 months deposit etc to the agent ?
Cash or Check or online bank transfer ?
If cheque pay to whose name ? owner, agency company, agent
How to protect yourself ?
When should i expect to collect the key and rental agreement with stamp ?

I'm afraid they (fake agent etc) scam me, that's why i ask, how i protect myself if he take the money and run away.
Some agent ask for ALL the money pay to them in cash, is this normal procedure ?

If i pay the agent cash, that's the same as pay to their personal account and you can't even track where the money go if by cash.
So what is the safe correct procedure to avoid scam.
Only pay in cheque ?
Only pay to their agency, not their personal account ?
Separate cheque 2 month deposit utility to the owner account ?
How u pay it, one lum sum to agent or 2 separate cheque to agent and owner ?

Fortunately these agent like to scam their own company but not me.

Very appreciate your valuable advice. Seems like the best answer.

I found a very good and honest agent that advise the same thing and this kind of agent deserve the RM300 agreement fees.
Thank you.
