If you notice, you will discover that the price for the Rent we are offering is far below standard (House Renting) price, this is enough for you to know that we are not after the Rents but the absolute care for our property. I know there is no way i can be sure that you are the right person to live in the Apartment because we won't be able to meet in physical before sending you the keys and the documents to occupy the Bedroom.But i just had a feeling that anyone who knows what it takes to put the kind of structure down should know that maintaining a building is mandatory, so if you believe you can take good care of the house and handle it,then i will be more than happy to let you rent the Apartment.

This person asks for a deposit payment via Western Union or MoneyGram with a promise that he will send the keys through a courier company (see below).

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 or MoneyGram 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 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.
