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.

Hello,

I have attached our company agreement and booking contract which you must read carefully and follow all the instruction given on the form. You will have to pay your upfront deposit of $410 to the accountant via western union.

I do want you to send the deposit to My Accountant, you can view the name and address to send the deposit to in the agreement and booking form. Please do fill the agreement and booking form and you will also email me the receipt of payment for the Western Union:

Head Office Accountant Name: Kim Walker
Head Office Accountant Office Address: Howard Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11233 USA

Please do forward me the payment confirmation as soon as you send the money also scan the receipt and send it to me for reference purpose, i will be waiting to hear from you with the agreement and booking form along with the payment confirmation so that i can commence with the booking and reservation.
