This person asks for a deposit payment via Western Union, MoneyGram, pre-paid credit card or bank transfer with a promise that you can have the keys to a property that does not belong to him.

Sounds safe. It's not!

At other times, he will ask for proof that you are able to pay the deposit and rent due to a string of time wasters.
This proof is in the form of a Western Union or MoneyGram payment to a lawyer,a friend or family member.

In either case, if payment is made and you give this person the details, they will collect the money.
You will not hear from them again.

All the details such as names, addresses, pictures etc. that the scammer uses in order to back up his story, are stolen from elsewhere.

If you are reading this because you are looking for property to rent, and you are in contact with this thief you are probably searching Craigslist, Gumtree or similar listing sites. If you receive any requests from 'Landlords' asking for some kind of payment before viewing, then it will also be a scam. Please forward the mail to me at the address in my signature line and I will investigate and list them if necessary.

Hi,Thank you for taking the time to look at my property. I am a civil engineer, originally from United Kingdom.
I am looking for a responsible person that can take a very good care of my apartment. I am not after the money for the rent but want it to be clean all the time and the possible tenant will see the house as his or her own and I hope that you can send me some personal information about yourself.
The apartment is fully furnished with all necessary amenities (exactly like in the pics). It has dishwasher, washing machine and clothes dryer. There are two parking spots, a storage unit where you can deposit my furniture (if you don't like it and you want to use your furniture). Pets allowed.
The monthly rent for the apartment is CAD $ 900 and also includes all utilities such as water, electricity, Internet, cable, parking etc. so there is nothing else to be paid on top of that. I am looking for someone to rent anywhere from 1 month to 5 years or more.
The only problem is that I had to move with my job back to United Kingdom, London where I am now. The property is being managed by Airbnb and they will handle the whole rental process.
If you want to know more about the rental process please get back to me and I will send you the step by step procedure.

Hi Paul, Thank you so much for getting back with me so quickly.
Your apartment is beautiful from the photos that you posted and it seems to meet my requirements due to its prime location, facilities and amenities offered. I am an unmarried woman and would be moving in with my boyfriend if my tenancy is accepted. I work as a Supervisor at CVS Pharmacy and also as an Independent Insurance Agent for World financial Group. I am looking to move- in in the month of July and staying there for 2+ years. I assure you that I will prove to be a good tenant that you are looking for and would be paying my rent on time and will treat your place with respect as if it is our own. My boyfriend is a working man who too has a steady income. If you have any additional concerns, please do not hesitate to ask. I am really keen about renting this apartment and would be waiting for your positive response.

Looking forward to living in your apartment.

Thank you,

Katherine G.
