Rental Scammer - [email protected]

A scammer using the email address [email protected] tried to scam me on findroommate.dk, by attempting to rent an accomodation in Copenhagen. He's using a proxy with IP address 89.184.103.67 (located in Italia).
I was sure of his motivations as soon as he spoke about Western Union as a payment method.

I leave the whole conversation here so people can find it by googling part of his crap:

Hello,

Kindly inform me,in order to book my flight and forward you the details.

Am giving you the details to used in sending me the payment,due to the status of my work,i prefer you sending me the payment through Western Union transfer,in order for you to proceed with the deposit. So you're free to used the following details:

Full Name: Fabrizio Hugo
Current address: 39 Mt Pleasant, Liverpool, 5UX L3, UK
D.O.B: 05.05.1977

After you might have send me the money,i just need a confirmation of receipt that you've done the payment,you will have to scan the receipt to me,after our meeting and after i might have issue the receipt of the payment,you'll have to cash for the first month rent,but now,i need to confirm your Refundable Security Deposit fee.
