Room for Rent and other rental scams
by Con Warner Mon Aug 08, 2011 6:51 am
Although this is based on a rental, the actual scam is an overpayment scam using fake cheques. (mods please move if necessary) The scammer will send a cheque for more than the amount agreed and ask you to send the difference to his agent. The scammer plays the part of the agent as well as the tenant.

The cheque will be found to be a fraud by the bank and you will be required to pay their administration fees. They may contact law enforcement and you could be charged with fraud. Along with that are the legal fees for the bank and other costs.

You lose big style! :(

owner of this unit or the property manager. Please provide me with the
Lease application so that i can review them ahead of time.


Following my tight schedule this period,I will have the lease signed
upon my arrival, moreover appending signatories of this nature are
better done and at best physically. However if you want the lease
signed, i do not think this will be an issue, Its just my personal
opinion. I will be arriving your country with my wife and daughter on

agreement reached upon my arrival. I am interested in signing more
than 1year lease. Please let me know if you will approve more than a
year lease.

will be okay by you. Following the stressful task in our transition to
your country, My schedule is so tight this period. It will save us
