Hello,
The transaction was started today. Please check your inbox, spam and junk folder to see if you have received the transaction confirmation from Zoopla
You need to send the payment via MoneyGram at a MG location using CASH or Debit Card to Zoopla agent's name and address ( PATRICK RANEL ). You have his details on the invoice you received from Zoopla. In order for you send the money normal to a friend or a family member the payment fee is @40 CAD. If you can't cover it you can take it from the amount or we can split it. It's your choice.
Hope I've been helpful for you.
Please try and confirm the payment today so Zoopla can send the package ASAP.
Thank you and have a good day!
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.
