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 ,

I have forwarded you the contract documents regarding the apartment you applied for in Vienna. All you need is to print and sign the contract lease and tenancy agreement perfectly with the use of pen and kindly make the security deposit payment an the first month's rent as soon as possible so that you can finally secure and reserve the apartment to the fullest .
Above all,please do try to keep the apartment well tidy and neat in all ways during your stay.

MODE OF PAYMENT


Find the attached Tenancy Agreement and Rental Agreement, I have signed my own part as the landlord, you have to go through the documents very well and sign your own part.
Find the details below, you have to make the payments of 1,100 Euros via WESTERN UNION money transfer .

Receiver's Name : Morgan Sean Mach
Address : 10 Collingham Rd, London SW5 0LT, United Kingdom
Amount to be sent : €1,100 Euros = $1,560

As soon as you have made the transfer via Western Union, do get back to me with the scanned copy of the western union transfer slip and also the signed copies of the signed Tenancy Agreement and Rental Agreement via e-mail for proper documentations by my lawyer .Looking forward to hear from you in due time later today .

Best Regards ,
Morgan


Sorry for the late response because I was quite busy and due to the fatal accident of my only child, I hope and pray Almighty God speeds his recovery. I have attached the legal attestation clause regarding the apartment and my passport I.D as requested.With all due respect, kindly keep these documents safe and its not transferable for any reason due to unforeseen reason.Looking forward to hear from you and have a pleasant evening.

Best Regards,
Morgan
