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 lawyer,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.

Hello,

Below is the address of the property you can go ahead and view the neighborhood but you wont be able to access the doors because am with the keys or check it out on Google Map :

I'll be waiting to read from you with the application form filled so that the keys and documents can be on air today.

Thanks for your response, i really do understand how you feel, truly there are some people who try to gain advantages of others through the internet and i have also put my self in your shoe and i see that its not easy to trust in this life but we still need to trust some people, i do believe my property will be very fine with you that is why I'm renting it out to you. When I know how people worked and earn their money and how your vital information's are so important, I will never think of taking some advantages over you and your money, please that is fine with you that is why am so excited, the package will be send to you . I want you to take any negative thought out of your mind, that is really awful thing on the earth that I will never think about doing. Please understand me, I was not trying to lure you into this, everything about me and my property are 100% real ok.
