This person asks for a deposit payment via Western Union with a promise that he will send the keys
through a courier company.
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 payment to 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.
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 Gumtree or similar listing sites. If you receive any requests from
'Landlords' asking for some kind of payment by Western Union 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.
