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.

Hi Michelle
World Wide Express ( http://www.worldwide-expressdepot.com ) it's a third party company,they will take care of our deal. Like i said before, you need to transfer the security deposit to their company's account and the package will be delivered in 3 days.
After your inspection, if you will sign the lease,they will release the funds to me , if you don't sign the lease they will refund your security deposit and return my keys.
When the package will be left in their custody, they will contact you with further information and a tracking number.
The lease agreement doesn't have a start date, you can fill a suitable start date after the inspection.
I will need your full name and exact delivery address, in order to start this transaction.
Kind regards,
Emily
P.S. I need to know you are truly interested in renting my apartment and hope you will understand the situation from my side.I have attached some documents to this email.
