This person asks for a deposit payment via Western Union, MoneyGram or bank transfer with a promise that you can have the keys to a property that does not belong to him.
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.
Thanks for your email, confirming your interest in renting my apartment and requesting for my booking agreement form.
To proceed, I have attached the Booking Agreement form/payment process with this message, fill it and send it back to me with a scanned copy of the funds transfer confirmation. After receiving them from you, I will forward you my invoice to confirm your reservation. Keys of the apartment will be handed to you by me, on your arrival.
Payments are paid directly to my accountant, via Western Union Money Transfer. After payment is confirmed, I will forward you my invoice, confirming your reservation.
Please see below, instructions for making the payment.
MODE OF PAYMENT: WESTERN UNION MONEY TRANSFER.
