Don't be surprise if you find the home with another site and deference price, I have plan to rent it through Real estate before, but they are not serious simply because they have a lot of house to lease out And they added some money to the rent while there commission is not fair.

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.

...You can go and send the money to the western union information below..Upon receiving the payment confirmation details, i will send the keys to the address you sent to me and you will receive it next day.

RECEIVER'S NAME: RONALDO BROWN
RECEIVER'S ADDRESS: 10 SARAH ROAD
STATE: LAGOS
COUNTRY: NIGERIA
TEXT QUESTION: GOD BLESS?
TEXT ANSWER: AMERICA.

Once you send me the money kindly get back to me with the payment details ok. I mean the M T C N number and text question and answer ok. Hope to hear from you asap.
