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.

Thank you very much,i will be more than happy if you can promise me to clean up my flat everything because i don't mess in the flat but if you can promised me that you will do as i said i will be more than happy to rent the flat for you. Like i have said earlier the flat comes fully furnished and well equipped and air conditioned. All bills inclusive in the rent including internet, water,electricity and cleaning. You will also pay monthly as i wont be around to receive payment weekly.

In other to reserve my flat both of us will have to put a pen on lease contract which my Lawyer will make and i will forward the lease contract to you in other to sign it and send back to me . You will also be paying a month rent and the security deposit into my account to secure the flat and also i will like to know your flight details so as to know your exact arrival date and time.

Listed is the information you will need to provide to make a lease contract and forward it to you as soon as it done.

Your full name:
Passport id:

I will be waiting your reply with above information so that the lease will be prepared and also attached is my ID and i will appreciate if you can send me yours too.

Thanks

This scammer is using the same supposedly UK passport. You can follow the full conversation (at the bottom the oldest/first contact). It was via facebook group "Luxembourg Rooms - Flats - Flatshare For Rent / A Louer". But he first sent a German address. Stupid. In the contract he added the fake/stolen UK passport, using a different name, "Divock Themants" but including this time the same address in Luxembourg (9 Rue du Tramway, Esch-sur-Alzette, Luxembourg District) that the girl who posted the studio add sent to me. Sort of fake facebook profile of her because of something weird in the photos. The ad on facebook group was removed shortly after email conversation started:

Before proceed, for security reasons, your IP has been VPN-proof recorded and geo-localized. Same with your mobile device. Is that OK with you?

Good to hear back from you with your detailed response. It is available and you can move at any convenient time of yours. To secure the flat before your move in date, you will need to review the tenancy agreement form, if the terms suits your requirements, you will make a deposit of the refundable security deposit via bank to bank transfer to ensure easy refund if there is any reason for you not to proceed or you have any reason not to come down on the viewing/move in date. Once your deposit is confirmed and paid in my bank, I will issue you the receipt for your payment which you will bring along when we are meeting.

Let me know if you are okay with the arrangements so I can email the copy of tenancy agreement for you to review.

Hi Daniel,


Thanks for your message. Congrats for your new job.
I totally understand your point. As a postdoctoral researcher and a professional with several year of experience in different settings, and as a host several times, I share your views about responsibility, tidiness.
However, you have sent me information about a place located in Germany.
The add posted by Suzan Awade, about a place located in Luxembourg is this:

Could you explain this?
Thanks
