Have you been a party to a lawsuit in the past? If yes, please explain why:
The reason me and my family are renting out this apartment is because we are out of states on a research work and are going to be away for a while. We need a responsible and employed individual who would be able to take very good care of the apartment and also be able to pay their rent as at when due.
We require you to fill out the information and send it back to us. Also do note that the Security Deposit of $500 would be needed to serve as a Security Bond between us and also for the keys and documents relating to the apartment which includes the lease. It is also important to let you know that all utilities have been paid for and receipts will also be sent to you.
You can contact me at any time.
David and Marva Ayer.

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.
