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.

Subject: Lease Contract/Reservation Details Attached.

Hello,


I am in receipt to your email; like i said before the apartment is available for short term lease or more. The apartment is fully furnished. I am not the owner; i am the manager who manages the landlord's investments not just properties.

I have sent non-binding lease contract attached, go through it and if you agree to the terms and conditions of the apartment you can go ahead and make deposit to have the apartment reserve for you until you move-in.

To make reservation, you are to make deposit for the first months rental fee ($1,800) plus the security deposit ($1,200) which total $3,000 directly to the landlord's account details below;


Bank Name: Chase Bank
Account Name: Celia Uballez
Account Number: 451-450-071
Routing Number: 322-271-627
Swift Code: CHASUS33


Ensure to fill out your name(s) where applicable and your move in and move out date. You are to send the lease contract signed and a copy of the wire transfer, you can send as an email attachment. As soon as the payment is confirm i will send you deposit receipt ok.

We look forward to a pleasant landlord/Tenant relationship when you move in.

Warm Regards,

Donald Hull.
