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.

I am writing to inform you that my wife have selected you as our #1 candidate which has made you our potential tenant that we are renting our unit to.
Which mean I will have to fly down from Wisconsin to meet with you in NY....Before I come down I would like to know if you are ready and have the total of 1 month rent and security deposit? because I have had to travel all the way to a disappointment by a renter previously where the renter had issues with his pay check therefore causing me a wasted time, air fare and other expenses. So, I'm not ready to go through same experience again.
However, we can work out something only if you are willing to make a little commitment before I fly to meet with you to conclude the deal..Nevertheless,I called the building manager on phone a few hours for arrangement for you to view the apartment first,but he said he cant assist me except if I come down in person.
You can call me for further explaination
