This person asks 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.
Sounds safe. It's not!
At other times, this person asks for a deposit payment via Western Union and they will send the keys through a courier company.
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 Craigslist, 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.

Thanks for your reply,well i am very keen in viewing you the flat
immediately,but right now am a pastor in Scotland which my schedule is
very tight,but before i can come and show you the flat, i will like to
confirm if you really have the money to rent the flat,because i have
had so many bad experience on viewing people which they end up not
having the money to rent the flat,so let me know if i should proceed
on verification of your financial status toward the flat maintenance
