Thank you for the most eloquent response to my listing, I'm the owner

Carolina, USA and presently my apartment is still available for rent
and I'm not willing to sale my apartment anymore. It include the
utilities like hydro, washer and security, I have my furniture in the
store if you which to move in with your furnished items, no problem.
Please i want you to note that i'm a kind and honest man and also i
spent a lot on my property that i want to give you for rent, i will
want you to take absolute care of my apartment and I want you to treat
it as your own, money is not the most important thing but i want you
to keep it tidy all the time so that i will be glad to see it neat

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.
