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.

Subject: Application Approved
Hello,
I have gone through your e-mail and we have decided to rent out our house to you as your application fits everything we need. You seem to be more eligible among other applicants that is why we are considering your interest and hope you are definitely going to take good care of the house which is our main concern.
We have decided to accept the payment of the security deposit ($800) so we will be able to send you the keys an document for your move-in. You are to directly send the payment to me via Western union Money Transfer as I think that will be the fastest means. This is important because the security deposit will be used for the payment of a postal delivery service to your location through FedEx, as the home delivery details will be forwarded to you in advance. More so, the deposit has to be made to secure the house for yourself so I will tell any other person contacting me that the house is already rented. Please once again we are giving you this based on trust and hope you do not disappoint us.
The postal package will contain the following documents and items;
1) House Entrance keys and the rooms Keys
2) House Rental form(Containing your reference details)
3) The house documentary file
4) Deposit Receipt
5) Full address and description of the house
6) Rent Agreement Form.
7) Payment Receipt
The house vital informative papers and keys will be delivered to your present address. I shall be coming in towards the end of the year to check on you so that i can know how you are taking care of the house, and if it is okay by me then we can talk about extending the rental terms. Please, once again I am making this rental agreement with you based on trust and hope you do not disappoint us. Please get back to me today with a reply, so that l will inform you on how to transfer the payment directly to me and we can get things finalized.
FEEL FREE TO CALL ME
