Dear Peter Margliotti and Lindsay Dahl,

Frankly speaking am really impressed to have you as tenant. Firstly, you are required to make the First TWO month Rent And Once the rent is been sent and confirmed, the keys/documents would be ship to the address provide in the application. The rent would be send via Western Union Money Transfer. I want you to know that you application has been approved.

Here are the contents that will be delivered to you via DHL courier service.

2)Paper/Permanent Flat form

And here is my secretary information where you will need to send the payment through western union below.

Given Name:Ebunoluwa Elijah
Last Name: Adelu
Address:155 Bin Jiang Road,Beijing China 500004

As soon as you send the payment from the Western Union Money Transfer, you
would be given some information. You would have to get back to me with
following information:

1. Full Sender's Name And Address Including Zip Code:
2. MTCN Confirmation #:

good care of my apartment.

Thanks & God Bless You.

IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS CALL ME OR EMAIL ME.


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.
