This person asks for a deposit payment via Western Union, MoneyGram, pre-paid credit card 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.
As stated above, the scammer uses fake documents. In this "rental agreement" for 32348 Linderman Ave, Warren, MI 48093, he is assuming the identity of Patrick Williams and uses the identity document, carrying the number A 535 189 887 787. The person pictured on it is not involved in the scam.
He assumes the trading name "Michigan Homes" with a fake manager by the name of "Barbara Adams" and the fake lease carries the footer "This Firm is regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (No: 46140). The services, we provide, are by Solicitors of United State Of America
Privacy policy | Terms © MICHIGAN homes" on each page.
