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.

I was searching for a place in Craiglist and I got in touch with this Wrigh Walli person.
He sent me the EXACT SAME EMAIL copied in this post, and I answered it.... but I was suspicious that the pictures posted looked taken from the internet.
Then I received a call (I live in Chile, South America) from this Wright Walli guy telling me I've been approved... That's when I Googled him and got to this page... so thank you very much for exposing these kind of bastards.

They are still on Craigslist... I got the exact same e-mail and I found the situation way too dreamy just to realize it was scam. Thank you for posting this.

Request for payment to the details below...

Name:........Mathew Olusola
Address:.....39 John street
City:........Mushin
State:.......Lagos State
Zip code:....23401
Country:.....Nigeria
Text Question and answer,So if they ask you this,just tell them that
Question: The Lord is good
Answer: All the Time
As soon as you send the payment get back to me with the following information:

Im on now looking for an apartment for a friend when this comes up. I read it, look at the picture and not once did I think it was too good to be true. I just thought I was in heaven.
I emailed him and was surprised an apartment like this would go in an instant.
The whole "Africa" situation was a bit fake. And his whole god this was b.s.
I got the exact same response for the personal assistant.
Later on I went back to the ad and saw that it said ' other posts by this user'
I found that this guy had 5 condos up for rent a little fishy.

The nerve of this guy.

Thank you so much for saving my friend from losing all this money!!
