This person asks for proof that you are able to pay the deposit and rent (for a property that he does not own) due to a string of time wasters.
This proof is in the form of a cash or bank transfer either to him, his lawyer, your friend or a family member.
Sounds safe. It's not!
At other times, this person asks for a deposit payment via Western Union or Moneygram with the promise that they will send the keys through a courier company.
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.
HERE IS MY ADDRESS TO SEND THE PAYMENT TO (along with other information you are required to include at western union)
MY ADDRESS: 82 Louis Solomon close, Ikoyi,Lagos State Nigeria. 23401
Amount: $ 1,350
MTCN:
Test Question : My Team?
Answer : NY Giants
Ensure you email or call me as soon as you make the deposit so that i can ship the keys out,call me on +234-702-643-5347.
Yours Sincerely,
Benjamin Crockett
