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.
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 to you again,
Thanks for your mail, and It's really nice to know that you have an interest in my room..But firstly, let me introduce my self..
My name is Elodie, am 30yrs of age and Half American and half French but grew up here in France ,though i had to relocate back here to stay Due to my work.i am easy going, clean tidy,non smoker female.
The house formally belongs to my late father that formally work with the British Embassy here in France until his death and he has passed the house to my mother through his will.
I am currently working with an Airline which enables me to travel a lot and i as well attend language school when am not working..
The most important thing is that, am looking for someone to share daily live and common value. so the ideal person i will like to share my apartment with must be a neat,tidy, trust worthy person, and there must be a proof that he or she can pay for the monthly rent.
The Apartment has three room, i currently occupy one, the second room is for rent, while the third room is regarded as the visitor's room. So the only thing we will have to share together is the kitchen and the living room if that is ok with you...
The apartment is located at the center of the city, which is very close to the Central Subway line and as well to the Buses lines that makes the apartment to be accessible. but i can describe the location as perfect central area as the House is in a cool quiet vicinity, because the house is not close to major busy roads.
The apartment has Washing machine, Dryer, TV connected to cable for international stations, and there is Internet Connection via wireless, LAN and Broadband. so you can come along with your computer if you have one...
The apartment has parking space that can contain two Cars, and there is no need for you to bring in any furniture as the apartment is well furnished and each room has window blinds,Bed spread with Bathroom and Toilet. but you can as well come along with your furniture if you so wish..
Minimum duration in the apartment is one month and long term stay is welcome in the apartment.
The price for the room:
euro 430 for monthly rent.. (all bills included).
euro 500 Security Deposit..( it will be refunded back to you on your move-out date).
Mode of payment will always be in cash but your first payment will be paid directly to my Family Lawyer(CAROL PHILLIPS) currently in Spain for security reasons and for proper procedure.
To rent or secure the room, you will have to book for it as soon as possible by paying for a month rent fee(first month) and the security deposit in order to be sure of your interest to reserve the room for you and for your selected date.
The fact is that, the room is still available, but you have to do this on time. because there are people that are still contacting me about the room. so i really need to be sure of your interest in order to reserve the room for you. but it depends on your seriousness as regard having the room..
Hope to hear from you
