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.

Thanks for your reply and i want you to know that this is legit..i
want you to know i have to be carefully this days cause i send the
keys to someone and they stole all my belongings so that is why i
don't want to do that anymore and i swear to almighty God that if you
make the send the payment today you will surely get the keys and the
documents so that you can be able to move in,You sound skeptical from
your last email, and that is very wrong, if you are thinking that I
just wanted to take your money for nothing. When I known how people
worked and earn their money, I will never think of taking some
advantages over you and your money, please take that out of your mind,
that is really awful thing on the earth that I will never think about
doing. Please understand me better, I was not trying to lure you into
this, everything about me is 100% real ok, i will like you to know one
thing i am a Man of God and i so much believe in his words and i can
never tarnish my name and image all because of money and i wouldn't do
such a thing when i have blood running through my vein,So I shall be
shipping out the keys and the document to you as soon as you make the
payment....Let me know when if i can forward you the information you
will be using in sending the payment....

Thanks & God Bless You
