Hello ,
After I finish the transaction with MoneyBookers they will send you the shipping confirmation , in that shipping confirmation you will see the MoneyBookers account , you have to deposit the money to them account and MoneyBookers will come to your address with the package in 48 hours after you make the transfer . MoneyBookers hold the money to them account until you check the apartment . After you check the apartment you have to contact MoneyBookers and tell them if you keep the apartment or not ? If you keep the apartment MoneyBookers will transfer the money to my account , if you don`t keep the apartment they will return the money back to your account .
If you agree this way please send me your name and address to start the shipping transaction .
Have a good day !
This person asks for a deposit payment via Western Union or MoneyGram to an escrow company with a promise that he will send the keys through a courier company.
Sounds safe. It's not!
The emails claiming to be from the company are fake.
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.
