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.

Attached to this mail is the Vacation rentals agreement which you are fill,sign and send back to me via email.

Below is my Accountant info were the PayPal should be send to:

([email protected])

I await the copy of the contract agreement signed by you and once the payment is confirmed a receipt will be issued out to you. You are to keep this receipt and the copy of the signed contract agreement by me in a safe place because you will be asked to tender it on your Arrival Date.

Regards.
John
