Public transportation offers three Métro stations within 5 minutes’ walk (Sèvres Babylone, Rue du Bac and Saint Germain des Prés), bus stops and taxi stands.

Walking is also an option, we recommend crossing the Seine over the Academy Bridge, or the Pont Henri IV, an excellent wine bistro in the middle of the bridge is available for relief.

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.
