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,

LET ME HAVE THE FOLLOWING AFTER TRANSFERRING THE PAYMENT:

1. SENDER ADDRESS

Dear conwarner,

I am writing to you to tell you that your post helped me and prevent me from falling into fraud of the scam you mentioned on scamwarners.com which called kahn alyssa and her e-mail is [email protected] and she asked me the same and i sent to her copy of my passport and my full name and present home address but thanks god i searched about her in scamwarners and found your post and didn't transfer to her the money but i am afraid about the copy of my passport ,do you think she can use it for anything dangerous or not ?.i mean is it dangerous that a copy of my passport is with her? and if it is what should i do ??.Another thing,she is still sending me messages asking me about updates about the transfer and finally she asked me to reply to her e-mail so what do you advise me to do ? ignore it or what

please inform me as soon as possible
Also,thanks for you post about this scam,whatever i say i wont thank you as you deserve

With regard to the scammer having a copy of your passport: I have no doubt that the he will open a new e-mail address with a similar name to your own and pretend to be you; therefore I suggest that you contact the police and explain the circumstances. If the imposter is successful, and someone looses money to him, it could be you that the authorities come looking for in the first instance,
