There's a long series of emails after that if you need it. The only information he has of mine is my email, name, the state that I live in, and my phone number. He hasn't asked for any other information other than on the application he sent me (which wasn't official in any way just a word doc) and I haven't filled it out and he never mentioned it a second time.

I looked up signs of scams and a lot seem to fit, but I'm confused because he hasn't asked me to wire any money and the deposit he's asking for now is only $200 and he only asked me if i was ok with that. and he asked me what I would be able to pay for rent because I found out I didn't get the job I thought and couldn't afford the original. I also searched his email and name a lot but couldn't find anything that seemed suspicious.

When I asked him for proof of his identity and ownership of the apartment he only sent me some pictures of him and his family of which he said "I think this will help to know us a little bit. We are good people.This is our daughter Christiana, my son-in-law Michael (attorney) his father's from South Africa and our grandson (our love) Alexander."

I can attach the pictures but I can't figure out how since they're PDFs.

this is one of the more suspicious emails...

The application form as been attached to this mail kindly print out the form and sign on it as well then
scan it back to me via email as well,then i will print it out right here and make a copy of it then i
will record it to my file,mind you i will send one of the copy to you via DHL service both with the keys
and the document.

Concerning the key and the necessary document you have no problem in receiving it i will be sending the
key to you Via DHL service and get back to you with a tracking number for you to be able to track it and
know when exactly the package will arrive.

Furthermore the money is not my problem but absolute perfect care of the house that is the most important
thing i want from you hope you can understand.

Best Regard,
Ralph

Thank for the reply,Money is not the problem with me, i just need someone that will good care of my house for me in absent, kindly let me know how much you personally can afford to rent my home,if is okay with me then i go ahead and send you the keys and necessary document

Hi w2891k!
Welcome to scamwarners!
Yes, the wording of the emails and the "I'll send the keys with Dhl situation" leave no doubt that you are dealing with a scammer. Please don't send any money and stop all contact with him.

Hi w2891k and welcome to SW.

All of the above are typical rental scams, the mention of being elsewhere with the keys, asking for Western Union payments. I have no doubt that the ads have been stolen from a legitimate real estate website.

If you are able to post the pictures, we may be able to find the original website.

I don't know how to post the pictures because they're PDFs. but the only pictures I have are of him and "his family" but the picture of the building that's on the trulia ad is just a google image of the address. and I looked it up and the address is an apartment hotel. so if you look it up and don't know the area it seems like an apartment building because it has apartments in the name not hotel and because it looks like an apartment building.
by w2891k Thu Jun 23, 2011 8:18 pm
is there a way to report him so he can't scam other people? because before I found you guys I requested more information to another email that I don't use and used a fake name to see if he'd respond again with the same thing even though he had basically told me I had the apartment and he just did. Which I won't respond to. But I'm just wondering if there's a way to keep him from scamming other people too
by Justin Thu Jun 23, 2011 9:18 pm
Best thing to do is what you did post as much information about him as possible. Others who are skeptical will search and find this information.

If you report his email he will just get a new free email address and start scamming people with that. If someone searches the new email address they would not be directed here.

I know it doesn't seen like much but trust me it helps others.
