Hello,

Thanks for your interest.The property is available for the dates chose. But I cannot guarantee the hold of this property until you book for it. This property is $200 per night. Check the below quotes for the cost of nights you intent to stay in the property.
PER NIGHTS = $200
50 DEPOSIT = %50 Prepayment is required to confirm a reservation with the balance due in cash upon arrival. SECURITY FEE = $200 fully refundable upon satisfactory inspection at check-out. So all you have to do to hold the house is to pay a 50% of the total rental fee, plus the Refundable Security Fee which is $200, which will be given back to you on the day you departing from the property.

Place: Hilton Head Island, SC
Type: Single
Bedrooms: 4 Bathrooms: 3
Sleeps: 9
Blocks to beach: 6

PRICE QUOTE
3 NIGHTS= $600

%50 DEPOSIT = $300

SECURITY FEE = $200

BALANCE TO PAY=$300

All you have to do to hold the property is to pay a 50% of the total rental fee, plus the Refundable Security Fee which is $200.which will be given back to you on the day you departing from the property, We accept payment via western union transfer only because the rush on the property for now,reply me if you are ready to book with us so i could send you our Booking and Agreement form,we also pick up our customers from the Airport and that attract no extra fee,it is just a way of welcoming our customers but its optional.Get back to me as soon as possible


This person asks for a deposit payment to secure the property.
He will ask for the money to be paid using Western Union or Monegram.

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.
