Good Morning

It's good to read back from you. You're right with this statement of yours "So I have to pay the monthly rent of 1000$ once and the security deposit of 1000$, which I get back if its all okay." and the exact address is 100 Lincoln rd, South Beach, Miami, FL 33139 APT #519. To proceed with the booking process. I am enclosing Rental Application Form which I would need completed to be able to prepare the paperwork for the sublease as will need to have a signed paperwork before sealing the sublease.

I look forward to sealing this with you and happy to answer any more questions you may have. it'd be good to speed things up.

I look forward to your email.

Best Regards,

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.
