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.

...DEPOSIT AGREEMENT: I ROBERT C. MCCORD (Landlord), RICHARD GREEN
(Manager) agrees with_________________________(Tenant) that the first month rent
payment of $1500 and the security deposit of $1500 will be refunded completely
if__________(Tenant) does not like or want the apartment upon viewing and in such an
event, this Agreement shall terminate and neither party shall have any further obligations
hereunder. Your payment will be refunded back to you on the spot immediately.

Total payment is $1500 + $1500 = $3000

Make payment directly to the landlord with this account information below;

Account Name: Robert C. McCord
Bank Name: Roma Bank
Account Number: 800-1160-400
Routing Number: 231-271-378....
