This person asks that you pay the deposit in order to secure the property.
This deposit is in the form of a Western Union, MoneyGram or bank transfer either to him, his lawyer, or agent.
Sounds safe. It's not!

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 is likely that 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.

Thanks for getting back to me.

To secure the apartment for your dates you are making the payment deposit from any Western Union or MoneyGram Agent close to you, to my central office in (Marseille, France). Payment will be receive by my accountant for accountability reasons.

Finally, I assure you the best of comforts in this lovely apartment of mine if you take it, and I believe you would come back some day, after enjoying your stay here.

Please do get back to me if my payment method is okay by you so I can forward you the booking agreement form and payment instructions before someone else does..RESERVE ASAP!!!

I wait to hear from you at your earliest convenience.

Regards,
