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.

Hello,

Its really nice hearing back from you so i want you to know that me and my family cant wait to see you move into our home okay.

Once again I want you to know that my family and i are very excited to see you renting our house and all we demand from you is your promise and trust that you are going to take good care of our house as soon as you move in.

Like i told you that you will be making the payment via western union at the nearest grocery store close to you so that as soon as your payment is confirmed so i can proceed with the shipment asap.

Also i want you to know that i am no more dealing with the real estate management anymore due to the fact that they were demanding so much money from us and also wanting us to rent the home at a very high price and also inflating the price of the property so due to all these reasons i had to collect the keys from them and rent out the home myself so as soon as you move in the home will be removed from the market OK...

So below is the western union information where the payment will be addressed to so as for you to get the keys by tomorrow that's if the payment can be made out today..

Name... Keith Parks.
Address........ 9 Lanre olumide street
State.... Delta
Country... Nigeria
Zip code... 23401
Text Question... Who is the greatest
Answer... God

As soon as the payment is made,you get back to us with the MTCN NUMBER,SENDERS NAME AND ADDRESS all as written on the receipt.

I await an email from you.
