Subject: So kindly get back to me ASAP...
I want you to know that I will have my documents sent to the property based on trust and hope will not disappoint me in this?, Please always make my house neat, because I've worked hard to achieve this, my property that I to rent, and I do not want my property to be used in any case before my life and I hope to help me treat my property like yours?. Let me know and make a promise to me again.
If you want to send the money through Western Union. I can only give the name and address will take to store Western Union to send money to. and will contact me with the MTCN number that will give you and you give me the name and address used to forward the information given to you.So kindly get back to me with the rental application form in other to arrange on how you will get the packages today...
The thief will tell you that you can rent his accommodation only if you can prove that you have genuine interest. He will ask you send money by wire transfer (normally Western Union) to yourself or a member of the family to show that you have sufficient finances and that you are not a "time waster".
Another variation of this scam is that you need to send (by Western Union) money in order that the keys and other documents can be couriered to you
He will ask you to send him the transfer details.
Make no mistake ! Western Union Transfers can be picked up virtually anywhere in the world and with the minimum of identification. They are almost impossible to trace once the money has been collected. You will never get to see the accommodation or your money again.
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 Gumtree or similar listing sites. If you receive any requests from 'Landlords' asking for some kind of payment by Western Union 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.
