There is no Registration fee and agency fee, since you are dealing directly with me the
Landlord. The Security Deposit would be needed as a Security Bond in
order for the keys and paperwork along side with Lease Contract agreement to be sent to
you... Electric Bills and water bills have been paid for,
so i would also need to send the receipts to you, would in case it would be needed.
I would like you to know that you are free to contact me at any time. After i receive this
details, i would get back to you soonest and then let you know my terms.
Pets are allowed.I hope to hear from you.
soonest.
God Bless

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 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.
