This person asks for a deposit payment via Western Union with a promise that he will send the keys through a courier company.
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 payment to 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.
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 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.

Hi,
This is absolutely amazing, my daughter post the advert and she did it quite well. We are family with 2 son and 1 daughter. We just relocated to New York USA this is the reason why we want to rent out our former property. I will be here for long so I'm looking for a responsible & clean roommate that will be able to take good care of my apartment.. The apartment is available for long term and short term lease is also accepted. The rent includes all utilities and there is no additional charges incur. Pet is allowed with a deposit. The property is furnished and if you have your own. The furniture is moved into the storage space at the property, you will have to move them back into the apartment if you are not moving in with your stuff.
We don't really want to rent out the property but my family just decided we do so, all the necessary documents are here with us, including the rent receipts. If you really want to rent the property, you will need to provide
the below information;
Full name:
Present Address of the applicants:
Zip code :
Ph#: Cell & Home :
Email:
Single Or Married :
Children:
Pet : If any ()
Date of Tenancy:
REFERENCES
Reference:
Ph#:
I want you to make sure the present address is not mistaken because that's where the keys and documents will be ship to. The contents of the shipment you will be expecting are;
1. Bunch of keys to the property.
2. Documents containing the lease agreement and property description , including the property address.
3. Rent receipts and damage deposit receipts.
4. The pictures of interiors and my family, I took before leaving the place.
I want you to email me once you fill the rent application form, the shipment of the package containing the keys and other documents will be ship by secure courier service once the deposit payment is paid.
Thank You
