Kindly get back to me if you are interested so I can send you the Rental Reservation Agreement Booking form to fill for reservation and the Bank info you will be sending the deposit payment via Bank Deposit to the Attorney/Private property owner. I'll look forward to your swift response as there's lots of interest are coming in for the apartment.

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.

Mod Note: This post was made by the dumb scammer himself or an associate in an attempt to avoid losing victims. We are leaving it here to show how far these pathetic criminals will go to steal from their innocent victims.

I totally understand you but like I said you have nothing to worry about your money is safe, I make sure I give my client the best, you can make a deposit of two or one month to reserve the unit and once have given you the keys and you have settled down in the Apartment you can decide to complete it or pay month to month. That’s what I can do for you once you have filled the form and you forward it back to me and proceed with the deposit, will reserve the Apartment and will fly down ASAP to give you the keys . I have heard situations whereby I fly down and people ended up not taking the Unit it’s a waste of time and money, I wanna assure you that your money is safe you have nothing to worry about. I have attached a copy of my ID and my property license certificate just to assure you that you are in safe hands. Also if you pay for two months rent upfront you get a one month free rent for the New year bonanza.
