Thanks so much for your mail,so you'll be paying the first month rent deposit fee through Western Union money transfer so that i can get the keys and documents shipped out to you in package, and also i have re-verified your address for the delivery of the package to you and also i want you to know that all the utilities and facilities fee has already been included with the rent fee such as electricity, council tax, TV license,gas bills, water e.t.c. so you will not need to pay them again and they have already been edited to your name, and also you'll be making the payment of the first month rent deposit fee through Western Union money transfer.

So here is the information that you will be using to make the first month rent deposit through Western Union Transfer.

Payment Information For The First Month Deposit Payment:

Receivers name: Mike Smith

So as soon as you make payment at the western union local store you would be given some information,You would have to get back to me with the information below.

You can go ahead and make the payment and get back to me with the information you received from Western Union after making the payment so as to get the package shipped out to you as soon as its confirmed. I assure you that there will not be any problem, just promise to take care of my flat as soon as you move in.

Thanks

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.
