Hello,
Good to read from you and i really appreciate your interest in my apartment,to tell you a little about myself, my name is Bally Santos, am married and am a professional construction engineer,i work for a construction company while i was in Oakland, CA but recently plans came up for me with the help of the management board of the company, assisted my project of investing in a modern construction company which is a dream come true for me in Manila, Philippines to head as a branch manager so that is why I am putting my spacious one bedroom apartment for rent and before me and my family traveled down here in Manila, Philippines, we could not find a competent property agent to handle the welfare of the apartment because we really cherish our property so that was why me and my wife decided to take the keys and the documents along with us but i will make sure that all goes fine.

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.
