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.

Please contacta moferatorstor if you have a question or information about this post.



Please do not tell the scammer he is posted here.

Greetings!
Thank you very much for this I information. As recent as yesterday, I unfortunately got scamed as well. While checking rental homes on Craigs list, found the perfect house for a ridiculous monthly payment and, well, now I would say that someone, somewhere in this planet will use my ID for God knows what because I sent a copy of it by email answering all the questions the person(s) asked for.

The email I got looks similar to the one shown below so I'll copy it to you so no one else goes through what I'm going right now.

Again, thank you for the provided information.
Blessings!
