This person asks 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 (see below).

Sounds safe. It's not!

At other times, this person asks for a deposit payment via Western Union and they will send the keys through a courier company.

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.

You will need to ask your Parent or Friend to go to the nearest post office close to you and when they gets there... Your Parent or Friend should ask of the western union agency and the agency will give them a slip to fill and inside the slip... this is what they will write inside it:

SENDER'S NAME: YOUR PARENT OR FRIEND'S NAME
RECEIVER OF MONEY NAME: YOUR NAME
SENDER'S ADDRESS: YOUR PRESENT ADDRESS
RECEIVER'S ADDRESS: LONDON when you arrive
AMOUNT: 1MONTH RENT WITH SECURITY DEPOSIT CHARGE

once this is done..the agency will give Parent or Friend a receipt and you will need to send me the receipt so i can verify it.
I shall contact the agency here to confirm if any money was secured to your name by Parent or Friend that you were suppose to come and receive in London and once the agency confirmed it to me that the receipt is valid and that you have a money to come and receive when you arrive in London then i shall send to you the reservation receipt of the flat which you will need to bring along with you when you are coming to London.
The reservation receipt is a proof to show that you have secure my flat for yourself in London till you arrive and it will contain my signature also
Since your name is the Receiver's name then you are the one that will pick up money when you arrive here in London.
About the transfer charge...i shall refund the transfer charge back to you when you arrive or you can deduct it from the rent if you wish...ok
I waits for your containing the receipt by tomorrow if you are truly interested in reserving my flat for yourself.

Regards
Marquis
