You have nothing to worry about, this is a lovely apartment and i can guarantee that you will thank me for reserving the apartment for you, but if you sign the lease contract and make reservation and by the time you arrive at this apartment you do not like it, i will refund your full deposit of $4,850 back to you immediately.
I have sent lease contract attached to this email and make sure that you go through the lease contract carefully and if you agree to the terms and conditions of the apartment you can go ahead and make deposit now to secure it to enable me reserve the apartment for upon your move in date.
You are to make payment for the first one month rental fee of $2,850 plus the refundable security deposit amount of $2,000 which totals $4,850.

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.
