This person asks for a deposit in order to reserve the property.
This payment is in the form of a Western Union transfer to him.

Sounds safe. It's not!

At other times, this person asks for a deposit payment via Western Union or Moneygram with the promise that they will send the keys through a courier company.

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 the reply..Yes,we do accept pay pal for booking more then a week before your checking date why we accept bank payment or western union for last minutes booking to avoid delay reservation..I will be waiting to send you our payment details to confirm your reservation for your chosen date
