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.

All the details such as names, addresses, pictures etc. that the scammer uses in order to back up his story, are stolen from elsewhere.

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.

Attached to the mail is the rental agreement form which i will advice you go through properly.once you're okay with the terms and conditions which am sure of then you proceed with the payment to the below bank account.

Account name:Victoria Fernadez
IBAN: GB51NWBK60173110250654
BIC: NWBKGB2L
Bank Name:Natwest bank
Account: 10250654
Sort Code: 601731

Once you get through with the transfer then you get back to me with the scanned copy of the transfer receipt.After i confirm the payment then i'll reserve the room for you then send you payment receipt along with the signed rental agreement form which shows we're in contract and you bring it along with you when moving in.Hope you understand?Thanks while waiting to read from you and don't hesitate to ask if you have any more question.
Victoria
