Waiting to read from you.
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 or MoneyGram payment either to him, 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 or Moneygram with the promise that 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 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.

Subject: SUGGESTION
To: Con Warner
I really appreciate your response but i do not want to stand on peoples promise of paying me cash or cheque when we meet again because i have met with time wasters who will only want to view and do not keep to there end of deal as regards payment if they are satisfied but will only want to look at all the beautiful flats around London. I am not ready to wait till a months time before any payment.
I was discussing with my colleague about the idea on how i will be so sure that i will not be disappointed this time around and she advised that we can work out something via Western Union.I have never used Western Union before but a bit familiar with it. She explained that it is a very fast way of sending and receiving money as she has used it a couple of times for renting out her flat. She said that western union can actually hold the money as an evidence and surety that her tenant will pay her at least for the first month and deposit. that you should go to any western union outlet close to you, to send one month rent of 600 +refundable deposit 600 pounds in your name to your friend's name in your present address or you tell your friend to send the money to you..
I WILL EXPLAIN TO YOU:
PROCEDURE...
1) Transfer the money, a month rent 600 + refundable deposit of 600 (Senders name = friend or partner's name)
to your name (Receiver) in London.
2) Scan & Send a copy of the Western Union transaction receipt as a proof of the transaction for confirmation on the western union customer care line if the money is really available for any of you to pick up when i arrive in London.If you do not have access to a Scanner,you can as well send me details to confirm on
(https://wumt.westernunion.com/asp/order ... try=global)
3) When we meet,i will meet you and take you to the flat for proper viewing
4)If you decide to take it both of us will go to any local Western Union office close to my flat & you'll pick up your money to pay me.
5)Keys will be handed over to you after signing the contracts.
In order for me to be on a good side,you can go ahead and make the transaction since you have the money ready,let me know immediately you do the transaction.
I am pretty sure that the transaction at WU office will require some charges,i will definitely refund the transaction charges back to you upon viewing whether you decide to rent or not.
But,i will only rely on your honesty that you have made the transaction before making my way down for proper viewing.
Please,understand that i am NOT asking you to pay me BEFORE you view the flat as payment is done AFTER viewing and Signing of contracts. I only want to be sure that i am not going to waste my time this time around and i think with this conditions,both of us can be sure we are not wasting our times.Let me know if you are okay with this so that we can proceed.Thanks so much while i will be waiting to read from you.Looking forward to meet you and be great friends eventually.
Does that sound reasonable? other months rent will be paid directly into my bank account.
PS:I am sorry for the lengthy mail.I only want to explain myself better.
Waiting to read back from you.
