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,
Thank you for your interest, I bought this apartment for my son while he was studying, but now he's back home permanently in London UK, so I do. Renting the place for unlimited time Before we go any further, I want to live something about you, like how many persons you intend in the apartment, know what your job is, how old you are and how long you stay. The apartment is exactly equipped fully furnished like the pictures and renovated. Are also very important, the utilities water, electricity, heating, gas, internet, cable, dishwasher, garbage disposal, included in the price of 360 euros per month and I think it is convenient for both of us. All invoices will be paid by me and you just have to pay the money for the rent every month. The deposit is 720 €, and you get it back when the apartment (you have to give me at least 1 month notice) left to decide. You can find my furniture, or you can also make your own if you prefer. I am a neuro-oncology doctor from London - United Kingdom. I can make arrangements to rent the apartment from here quickly and easily. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Best Regards,

Hi Michelle
Thank you for your reply
That sounds great!
You seem like a very nice person and I can assure you that we will have no problems. The thing is that I'm in the UK already. As I have informed you before, the price you shall pay for one month's rent to be 360 ??€, without paying additional taxes. The money, I want to revive it monthly to my bank account, so I hope it will not be a problem to transfer the money to my bank account for you. The apartment is ready for you, you just need the keys and the contract to check it received, and see if you like it.
Obviously, we must find a way to complete this deal, that will allow us to ensure that we get what we want is. In order of that I found a way for us to complete the deal safely and fast, and in this way you will receive the keys in less than 3 days to receive, if you move fast as well. The solution is by a company called TNT which is provided similar to FedEx, DHL or UPS, which covers both payment and delivery of the Keys.
I have found a method by which you pay for the rent of the apartment until you get the keys from them, and through this way you will see it and decide if you stay in the apt or not before I receive my payment . Please click on the link below to view the website of TNT, as we complete the deal safely and quickly from the website of the company where the procedure explained directly: http://www.tnt.com/express/en_gb/ site / home / services / express_delivery.html
Let me know if you please, because I really need interested to take care of this matter by the end of this week or early next.

Hello,
I want to tell you that if you are willing to go with this transaction, I will need to inform you the steps about how this service works.
Like I said, I'll pay for a 3 days delivery, so that the keys and the contract signed by me right away get. I'm going to tell you step by step how this will work:
1 - To start this transaction I will need to know to go with this deal your full shipping information, full name, full address.
2 - I go to the TNT Office and leave the Keys and the contract in your name as the intended receiver.
3 - TNT checks the envelope to see if everything is ok with it and also the legal papers that will come along with the key.
4 - TNT will send you a shipping notification to let you know that they have the keys and the papers in their custody, in which you will be told that they have the keys, and that they checked it.
5 - At this point you need to go to your bank and place a wire transfer to the bank account of the TNT representative for the amount we agreed, the amount you have to pay € 1080 (2 month's rent and security deposit)
6 - When you need to make the deposit to the info about the deposit to TNT.
7 - TNT will verify the payment information and if everything is in order, it is to deliver the keys and the contract to you.
8 - After you receive the package, please go and check the apartment and within 3 days they will need to contact them and tell them if you keep the home or not, if everything is you instruct TNT in order that means to me to liberate.
If you do not like the apt they will send your money back and they will send you the keys and the contract to them to return the package back to me. At my expense
I will pay TNT Service for the shipping.
Now I need to know for sure if you agree because here a lot of interesting people, this apartment have to be hired, and I will for sure know what I need to tell them. If you agree with what I suggested, I will tell them that my apartment is already rented and i will keep it for you. If you agree then i must make all shipping details so I will be able to handle all arrangements for the TNT delivery.
Thank you for your interest and wait news from you.
