I decided to rent my property to a responsible person because i am currently in London for missionary work and have a 4 years course. To avoid keeping my apartment Empty during these periods of time i decided to rent it out to a good and God fearing person that will take good care of the property.
There is no Registration fee. Only deposit payment required in other to send keys and paper works. I would like you to know that I am a very free mind person and would want you to express yourself to telling me more about you. Looking forward to receive this detail, I would get back to you soonest and then let you know my terms.
Pets are allowed and utilities are included.
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.
