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.

Thank you for your mail. The flat and rooms are still available and as I said, my apartment has three bedrooms and a living room too, I am using a room, while two are for rent and when I finally get a tenant for a single room, the other could be used as guest room. I scanned pictures from my apartment, Please find attached, it shows the living room, bathroom and toilet (located in the rooms for rent and It would be for your private use) and also photos of the kitchen where we deal with our stomachs :-). The rent of the apartment is 400 hope it price suit you now , so you also make a deposit of 1000 and if you decided to pay for 3month upfront advance i shall be given you extra 2month free so it depent on which option you decided to go for either paying just for 1month and deposit or paying for 3month upfront and enjoy the 2month free on it ,i hope the price suit you now. The deposit will be refunded at the end of your stay in the apartment, though nothing is destroyed during your stay I think you are felt in my previous mail. The transportation facility in the region and would result is the transport system is very quiet good as it is in a good location near train stations and bus
stations and gases such as stations, it is also close to some good cinema and grocery stores where you can shop for household items to make space would result in a very residential. Well as the matter of fact I have to be frank with you , Because if i don't tell you this and you come to find out about it , I would not know how you will feel and i would not like you to be dissapointed Already i have gotten 2 spanish student who want to rent the flat because they are coming to the state for thier master degree program. infact they need the flat so urgently but my mother think the best way is to give out the flat to who pay first. since there are too many people interested to rent the flat Once i can confirm you with the contract and your payment . i shall reserve the flat for you and do the sending of the keys and documentation of your move in .
