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.

Payment shall be made to Landlord under the following name
(Laura Davis) and address: 225 Bush Street Suit 40, San Francisco, Ca 94104


Bank Name: Wells Fargo
Account Name: Laura Davis.
Account Number: 101-018-623-9580
Routing Number: 051-400-549

Hi!

That same scammer contacted but I realized it was a scam way too late. Although he used different names and different type of apartment, same information and conditions tho. He used the name of Cody Whitcomb and the "landlord" Paul Mendoza.
