PART-PAYMENT TO SECURE THE PLACE IS :2200

Regards
Eric S.
P:S; First month rent and refundable security deposit is required to secure the apartment. I will issue you a rental deposit receipt and i will instruct you on where to pick up keys once payment is received. Payment will be received through bank transfer.
Monthly Rent fee is : $1800 (Fully furnished With Utilities Included)
Refundable Security Deposit Fee is :$400

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.

Thank you for posting this. I contacted this person today via Craigslist and he sent me the exact emails. Seemed kind of fishy that he would want ALL of the money wired to him before he would say where to get keys. And in his emails he used the email [email protected] and name of Eric Stewart. I wonder how people he has scammed
