Is this a property scam?

I was just browsing through Mudah website few wks ago, stumbled upon a few good deals property rental for my KL holiday rentals business.
So emailed the advertiser for more info.

The owner's reply:
From: Particicia Sertil srtlatr@hotmail.com

Hello,
         Sorry for the delayed response, but I'm in United Kingdom right now and I have been very busy. For introduction my name is Particicia Sertil and from the Internet add, you could see, the apartment is located at 222 Jalan Ampang, Kuala Lumpur, 50450, Kuala Lumpur, and it has 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 1 kitchen and 1 living room.
         I am a civil engineer, so my accommodation period in England will be about 4 years. I don't want to make a business or a profit with the apartment. Just want to find a good and trust person to take good care of the place because I really love it. I`m the owner of the apt and it's like in the pics.
   The rent for 1 month is RM1,500.00 (for the whole apartment) including all utilities (water, electricity, Internet, cable, 2 parking spots indoor, air conditioning, dishwasher, garbage disposal, microwave, refrigerator, stove, laundry in-suite, washer and dryer). Everything in this apartment is functional because is recently renovated. If you need to do some reparations (the worst case that could happen) in the apartment, I will cover the reparations cost, or I will deduct those from monthly payment. You can move in the apartment in the same day when you receive the keys. The only problem is that I`m the only person who has the keys because it is a private property but I hope that we will find a compromise.
         If you have any other questions please contact me back by e-mail.
  
Thank you for your interest and awaiting your reply,
Particicia Sertil

Got the following reply from the advertiser:

Hi ,

    I confirm that the property located on ( 22 Jalan P.Ramlee,50250 KL City, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia ) is available for lease for 1600RM p/m including all utilities (internet,electricity and water) for as long as you need. Amazing, newly renovated apartment available for rent, you will find a dishwasher,a refrigerator, a  freezer, a washing machine , a dryer,a niron ,a noven,a toaster ,a coffee maker ,vacuum cleaner , a big screen TV,cable TV with the basic access, ADSL internet and Wi-Fi access. Also the apartment is near the public transportation , a gym,and other facilities .
   There are no problems if you have any pets, as long as you cleanup after them . I am not interested to make a lot of money from the rental, I am interested to find a tenant that will take goof care of the property until my return ( Minimum lease period 3 months). The two months upfront payment is the total of 3200RM.The minimum period of time that you have to stay in  the apartment in 3 months. I'm not planing to come back to Malaysia due to health problems and my new job, until end of next year! Because i had to move to United Kingdom so soon I didn't had time to find a trust worthy agent,don't have any friends in the area to send the keys .I found an alternate solution in order to close the transaction safe for the both  of us , it is an international delivery solution called MoneyBookers

( https://www.moneybookers.com/app/help.pl?s=escrow&l=EN )

   The MoneyBookers Company is similar to FedEx or UPS, they will provide assistance in handling the payment and delivery of the Keys and Lease Agreement . With this procedure you will be able o check the apartment before I receive the payment . I have 2 more persons interested in  renting the apartment so please send me your full name and address ASAP if you are ready to rent my apartment. The first person that will send me the details for the lease agreement will be the new tenant .
  Thank you for your interest and I will wait news from you.

sound dubious, wrote back to him..
"this sounds rather weird. who would rent condo long term without looking at it.
and since when moneybookers do lease signing and key delivery..
anyway, i'm actually looking for place to put my guest temporarily, so looking for owners who hv vacant units, who may want to earn some part time income."
