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.

Thanks for your prompt response.I've only a room available and as a lady from Milano move in last 2 weeks but went back to her Country because of her mothers illness and she has promised to be back next month ending.Her mother is on operation and she happened to be the only daughter around that could take care of the whole thing.My apartment has 3bedrooms and a living room, I am using a room, while 2 are for rent and am only interested in any one who is serious in becoming my flat mate as so many people has been contacting me concerning this flat but i believe in first to pay and he/she will get the keys immediately.Below are the recent photos of which i took from the apartment and hope you'll like them.
