I have just discus this with my father and he agreed you pay 600 Euros
first which is the (first month rent and half of the deposit).

For the room to be reserve for you, you are to make a booking, you are
to send your information which will be use to draw the contract lease
agreement for you to see the terms
and condition of the apartment after which you proceed with first
month rent and security deposit to my father bank account for the room
to reserve and secure for you till you arrival
date.

Here are the information needed:

FULL NAME,
MOVING IN DATE,
MOVING OUT DATE,
CURRENT ADDRESS,
PHONE NUMBER,
NATIONALITY,
AGE,
SEX,
WHO IS PAYING FOR THE RENT

Looking forward to read from you


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.
