This person asks that you are able to pay the deposit and rent to secure the property.
This payment is in the form of a bank transfer, Western Union or MoneyGram payment either to him or his lawyer.
Sounds safe. It's not!
At other times, this person asks for a deposit payment via bank transfer, 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.
