Which will make the rent 400 and 100 for damage deposit, you need to ask your friend when she is available to meet me because i will have to come all the way from liverpool, i am available to meet her this weekend, but before i can come down to london, i want you as the intending tenant to make a deposit in order to secure my apartment till your arrival, i require you to make a transfer of the required 500pounds via western union transfer, with any of your relatives or friends name as the sender and your name as the beneficiary in london, which will make the funds available for you till you arrive into london, when this is done i will be assured that the funds are already saved in your western union, and when you arrive and we sign the papers i will have to go with you to western union.

The thief will tell you that you can rent his accommodation only if you can prove that you have genuine interest. He will ask you send money by wire transfer (normally Western Union) to yourself or a member of the family to show that you have sufficient finances and that you are not a "time waster".
Another variation of this scam is that you need to send (by Western Union) money in order that the keys and other documents can be couriered to you
He will ask you to send him the transfer details.
Make no mistake ! Western Union Transfers can be picked up virtually anywhere in the world and with the minimum of identification. They are almost impossible to trace once the money has been collected. You will never get to see the accommodation or your money 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 Gumtree or similar listing sites. If you receive any requests from 'Landlords' asking for some kind of payment by Western Union 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.
