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.

Regarding your proposal, am currently have an occupant in the apartment and i wouldn't want to inconvenience my client the same thing is applicable to you when you will checked in. But they would be checking out 29th of September. Then i can schedule an appointment with you for viewing on 30th.
You can sign the contract booking form and make payment to hold the apartment for your dates.
Also, remember who book first have the apartment for his/her dates.
If you comes to my apartment and see anything contrary to what i advertised on Craigslist i will refund your money instantly
Please let me know if it is okay by you so that i can send you the contract booking form and the payment instructions.
