As we review your details, we will be hoping to give you the apartment in good faith. We are willing to accept and approve your rent application has our new tenant. I want you to know that you will be paying for security deposit that is fully refundable at the end of tenancy and a month's rent, so that I can proceed in writing the receipts and sign all the necessary papers. The deposit and the rent is refundable if by any means you want it back and decide not to rent the place.
I will be heading to DHL Office to arrange for the shipment of a package to you next day delivery.I will email you the tracking number from the courier service immediately i get the payment confirmation from you.
The contents of the package are;
-- Bunch of Keys to the property.
-- Lease agreement
-- Documents containing property location and description.
-- Tenancy agreement and policy.
-- Receipts. ( Once the payment is confirm).
Please do get back to me, so i will give you the information that you will be sending the
money Via western union
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.
