Hi I have been asked to pay the balance up front before I travel in 5 weeks for a rental in KL. The owner has asked for payment by either Bank Transfer/Western Union or pay pal. As I recently got scammed on AIR BNB by doing a bank transfer to a non existant apartment, Im relecant to do any kind of bank transfer, and have read that if you make a payment through western union there is no trace. So my question is if I beleive the owner is genuine and I pay with PP am I covered for loss incase they then turn out to be a scammer? what im trying to say is does PP have the security that i would have if I paid with a credit card for example. The seller will only accept the three methods of payment above or cash but Im in the UK. Thanks
