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, your friend or a 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.

Hello,
Thanks for your reply and interest in my flat,I'd love to have you visit my apartment but due to recent inconveniences caused by wanna be tenants who I have invited for viewing and turned out to be time waster.I have decided to know your readiness and capability before inviting you for the viewing. I currently work in liverpool which is the the main reason I want to let my flat out.
I'll need to know before coming from liverpool come down London to show you the flat.Before coming down to show you the apartment.Due to previous predicament that I have gone through in the past trying to rent the property to some students,I have got to realize so many people are not really in need of an apartment all they do is secure a place in advance, My last experience in trying to rent the property to a particular lady had got me to predicate on these,she made me believe she was willing and ready to get the apartment she even went to the extend of showing me her statement of account,which made me took her for the viewing but after taking her for the viewing,she saw the apartment and got to love it and never wanted to loose it,so she kept pleading i retain it for her because she is not financially composed at the moment,which i did but end up disastrously. I will need to be sure of your readiness and capability i.e if you will be able to pay for month rent plus security deposit (£300+£500=£800)Therefore,I will want you to make a transfer of a month rent plus security deposit (£300+£500=£800) by going to the closest Western Union outlet that you know is more nearer with a friend or someone close to you and make the transfer as the sender and your friend as the receiver or any of your family members and you can also make them as the sender and you be the receiver so that when you arrive for the viewing and you are ok with the flat, we proceed by signing the contract/tenancy agreement form and handover the keys to you and we go to the closest Western union outlet closer to my flat to pick up the money and you pay me hand to hand as i will be ready to show you the flat and have your receipt and tenement agreement form ready as soon as i get the receipt of the transfer you made to yourself via Western union that show that you really make the transfer and it is avaiIable to be pick up by you .
I do not want you to have the feeling that I'm asking for money before you see what you are renting because I know that payment is meant to be done after you have seen the Flat and okay with it but most tenants I have invited for the viewing, is either they cannot afford the rent or security deposit that's why I want to be sure before coming down to show you the flat.This is the reason you are not doing the transfer into my account and to let you have confidence that your money is safe and secure,God forbide if anything happens to your money you can easily go to my bank to lodge complain in order to have your money back but I'm assuring you that everything is gonna be alright ok.. If you are ok with this arrangement you can let me know so that you can make the transfer with a family or close friend and once it's confirmed I will come down to show you the flat.You will need to scan the copy of the deposit slip to me as a prove And to let you know.I will want you get back to me if you are ok with this arrangement so that we can proceed.I will be looking forward to hearing from you.
When you get to the Western union you dont tell the agent that you want to make a transfer to show proof of a flat as the transfer cost will be very exorbitant when you tell the clerk that, so and you dont tell them anything when you get there and proceed to make the transfer with your friend.
Hope you understand?
Eagerly await your reply back
Kind regards,
Hello,
Western union is safe and secure, also your money is safe that why i did not ask you to transfer the money to me, i don't need your money all i need is proof you thru have the capability to rent the room so i need to be sure before coming down from Liverpool.
If you can make the transfer done today in time i and you scan the receipt to me to verify and see you thru have the money available for pick up in London i will buy train ticket and come down to London today to take you for the viewing.
Here is how you going to make the transfer.
What you have to do is go to any nearby Western union to where
you are staying with a friend and £800 cash with you and when you get to the outlet. Once you meet their agent, you will tell him/her that you want to make a transfer using their service and they will give you a payment slip to fill, below is what you will fill on it;
Sender's name: Your friend name
receiver's name: Your own name
Sender's address: Your friend address
Receiver's address:Your own address in London
Amount to transfer: £800
After filling the form, you will give the agent the money and the form,
they will give you a payment receipt and this is what you will scan and
email to me for confirmation and once i confirm, I will buy my train
ticket down to London immediately the same day and email it to you so that you can know the time i will be arriving into London for the viewing. after the viewing if you like my flat, you will sign my tenancy agreement form, we will look for any nearby outlet very close to my flat and you will collect your money out, pay me in cash, Let me know if you fully understand it now so that we can proceed.
Thanks
Tell me if this is ok for you, if not thanks very much for answering me so fast!
