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.
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.
Hi there,
I have given a great deal of thought about this and I think that sending the keys is not such a good ideea. I want to use a third party to handle this for us and I hope it's ok for you, too.
I want to use the Parcel2Go company. They are a well known company all over the world. So, I went to their office in Bolton and I told them that I want to rent my apartment and they told me that they have a new service I can use.
I 've already paid the fees(GBP200).
So, here is how it goes:
I start over the process with Parcel2Go here in Bolton and I leave the keys and a copy of the contract at Parcel2Go. Then they'll e-mail you all the information you need to continue the transaction at your end. As per the Parcel2Go's instructions you send the funds to Parcel2Go and then Parcel2Go will FedEx-overnight the keys and the contract to you. Then you look around the apartment and decide whether take it or not. if you decide not to rent the apartment Parcel2Go will refund you within 24 hours and you return the keys to me. It's clear and simple. This is the only way to do it given the circumstances and that is an overseas rental process. All I want is to both be safe.
The deposit you have to send it's $4000 and it's for the first month and for the security deposit. This is the Parcel2Go Service I am talking about, read the Phase 1 and Phase 2 to better understand the process:

Should I begin the process with Parcel2Go? Please e-mail me and let me know and tomorrow you could have the keys in hand if you complete your end in a timely fasion.
Thank you,
Anna
