Hello.

How are you doing. Sorry for the late reply I got busy at work. a month rent is $1,800 with the security deposit of $500 =$2,300 with the 20% discount so total amount of the 3 month and 11 days is = $7714 you can also benefit from the 20% discounts if you are ready to pay in full, you will pay the total amount of $6171. If you are satisfied with the total rate kindly get back to me with your full name so I can forward the lease agreement form for you to fill for your reservation. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Regards

Await your mail


This person asks for a deposit payment via Western Union, MoneyGram, pre-paid credit card or bank transfer with a promise that you can have the keys to a property that does not belong to him.

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 lawyer,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.

All the details such as names, addresses, pictures etc. that the scammer uses in order to back up his story, are stolen from elsewhere.

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.
