hello,
yes,but its just the security deposit fee which will enhance the shipment of the keys to you.I really understand about what was written in craigslist but am assuring you that these is not a scam.and this is the major reason why we are just asking for the security deposit.The shipment of the keys is under 24hours of payment confirmation,as soon as i have your information with me,i will go straight to fedex to register the information with them after which you will now be required to make the deposit payment.
please i want you to understand that i can never scam you of your money.
Hope to read from you soonest
The thief will tell you that you can rent his accommodation only if you can prove that you have genuine interest. He will ask you send money by wire transfer (normally Western Union) to yourself or a member of the family to show that you have sufficient finances and that you are not a "time waster".
Another variation of this scam is that you need to send (by Western Union) money in order that the keys and other documents can be couriered to you
He will ask you to send him the transfer details.
Make no mistake ! Western Union Transfers can be picked up virtually anywhere in the world and with the minimum of identification. They are almost impossible to trace once the money has been collected. You will never get to see the accommodation or your money 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 Gumtree or similar listing sites. If you receive any requests from 'Landlords' asking for some kind of payment by Western Union 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.
