bestpropertyrentals.com is a fraudulent domain with a fake website.
This fake company has no properties to rent.
Contact details from the fake website:
Email: [email protected], [email protected]
Office Address: 2743 Oak Park Avenue, Berwyn, Illinois 60402,USA
Contact name: Fred
Phone # (832) 380-4489
Other phone numbers used by this scammer: (213)-377-9414 (832), +44(0)7024027836
=======================================================================
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.
