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.
Glad to hear back from you.How are you doing? We want to thank you for the interest you have shown towards renting from us and i pray and believe that our house will be a blessing to you as soon as you move in.

My family and I've concluded on accepting payment for the security deposit which is $800 including Utilities, for us to secure the house now and also send the keys & document to your given address in the rent question form.
The Payment will be needed as soon as possible so as to proceed with the arrangement of the keys and documents to be delivered at your given address, so i will urge you to verify the address where you want the package to be delivered so that there will be no mistake sending it to you.
So hope you stick to your words, you will be making the payment Via Money Gram or any Walmart store near you.
