This person asks for a deposit payment via Western Union or MoneyGram with a promise that you can have the keys to the property.
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: YOU HAVE BEEN ACCEPTED

I and my wife read your application together,we are very happy to tell you that you have been accepted for the house.From your email we know and believe that you are the right person to occupy our house.We will like you to know that it is not the money that really matters to me but that my house be taking proper care of that is why we made the house so inexpensive because i believe everybody deserves a home both the rich and the poor.I hope you understand where I'm coming from We will be gone for 3 years if the house is clean by the time we come back we will continue renting it out to you because we are always on missionary trips so it depends on how long you would like to stay and the house rent will not be increased for the 3 years.I hope it's okay by you. However,if you are ready to rent the house now, then that will not be a problem but I will advice you to be a responsible person like you promised to be.
