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.

After previewing all your info provided in the application, you have been accepted to be the new occupant of my home. I will be sending you the keys/papers through FEDEX to the address you provided in the rental application so you could occupy our home ASAP.

I need you to know that am renting my home to you based on trust do not disappoint me because am putting everything in GODS hand.You are required to go about making the deposit so I can attach the payment receipt when the package is been sent.

Below is the information that you will use to make the deposit Payments through Western Union Money Transfer.

RECEIVER NAME: JANET JUSINO
ADDRESS: 104 West Park Lane,
CITY: Brooklyn
STATE: New York
AMOUNT:$550

ALSO GET BACK TO ME ONCE THE PAYMENT HAS BEEN MADE WITH THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION'S BELOW.
