Hello,

Thanks for your reply,

You seem to be a very nice person and I can assure you we will not have any problems
First of all if you want to rent the apartment you need to pay 1 month of rent + 1 month of warranty ( $540 + $540 = $1080 ) ! ( but that month of warranty you will receive back after you finish the contract ) !
If we decide to proceed with this transaction, I will have to contact NEWCO Real Estate (http://www.newcorealestate.tk ? website reported) and provide them all the necessary information, so they can start the process right away.
I will need your full name and address for that. You will receive a notification from NEWCO Real Estate shortly after that, together with all the instructions to follow and the invoice as well.
Regarding the payment, you will be instructed to deposit the money to NEWCO Real Estate. They will hold and insure your money until you check the apartment and decide if you want take it or not.
That is how their buyer protection policy works. As far as my concerns, I will be glad to know that NEWCO Real Estate has the possession of the money during the delivery period. That is my insurance. As soon as the funds have been deposited into their account, they will immediately start the shipping process.
The keys and rental contract will be delivered at your address in no more than 3 working days. You will be given a five days inspection period from the day you receive the keys and contract at home. If you decide to hold the apartment, then you will have to authorize NEWCO Real Estate to release the funds to me, and the transaction will be completed. If you will not be satisfied with the apartment, you will be able to send the keys and contract back through the same service and ask NEWCO Real Estate to return the funds to you. Through I am sure you will love the apartment, it is good to know that you do have this second option available. If you wish to proceed with renting the apartment, please provide me your full name and address so I can initiate the deal through NEWCO Real Estate right away.

I am looking forward to hearing from you.

Thank you
Albert Fawcett

This person asks for a deposit payment via Western Union or MoneyGram to an escrow company with a promise that he will send the keys through a courier company.

Sounds safe. It's not!
These companies do not work this way and the website he directs you to is a fake company.

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.

New names this week, John Touma and John Fanicuche, Dr. Richard Anderson. Graigslist, NY Apartment rentals. And yes, I sent the money!

I'm sorry to see that you fell victim of a scammer, marjoriedrogers.
Can you please post the emails from the scammers, giving them their own topic.
Please remove your personal details first.
Thanks.

Thanks for posting but we need the email addresses associated with these in order to help people.
Unless they are all using the address [email protected]?

I requested info for a rental property on trulia and this guy: [email protected] responded. Let me tell you tho there's two active listings with the same address but much different rent amounts. I've contacted both listings and the actual listing agent is actually having an open house at this property tomorrow. Some people are just ridiculously shady.

Hello ,

We are pleased that you have an interest in our house. Our lovely home is still available for lease, we want responsible & decent adults/family that possess qualities to manage our home as if it were theirs.My wife and I initially had it up for sale but changed our mind and decided to lease/rent it out.The agent we previously put in charge over our rental property was asking too much of an agent fee by inflating the rental fee there by making it difficult for people to afford the rent.For this reason, I decided to rent it out my self and no longer want any third party ,rather a direct agreement between me and any interested tenant.If you drive by you can still notice the sign post of the agent in-front of the house. But don't worry I have already instructed the agent to take off the sign post from the property.

The reason why our house is up for lease is because I got transferred from my place of work to Brooklyn NY, I will be away with my family for at least 5 years or more. I work as a Robotic Programmer & Welder/Fitter here in New York and got married to a lovely wife who is a member of Joyce Meyer Ministries. As you can see our rental fee is below standard this shows we aren't really bothered about the rental fee rather our most priority is your assurance in being able to keep our home in good condition always.I know there is no way I can be sure that you are the right person to live in our home cos we won't be able to see in person before shipping the keys and documents to your present address for you to occupy the house at your convenient date.But we are going by trust here with whatever you tell us about your self and previous rental experiences .You can get back to me if you are truly interested, by telling me more about yourself,your previous rental experience and the time you wish to rent our home .I await your reply ASAP.

Below are more details about my home
