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.

> I just came to Ukraine few days ago.I have not gotten a phone number yet.Am satisfied with your information and i will be offering you the apartment.As i have said earlier,i am presently in Luhansk Ukraine,the apartment keys and documents are with me here in Luhansk Ukraine,it will be shipped to you by a postal agency. In this manner you will have to make a month deposit of 500 EURO before i can reserve the apartment,release the apartment keys and documents in order to ensure a secure transaction because of people that use apartment for something else.Once you make the deposit,the apartment will be reserved for you while the keys and documents will be shipped to you.

I recieved this email from [email protected]
the man's name appeared as Steven Hacketh but his GooglePlus profile was called Anthony Wesley. I have been in email conversations with him and he has asked me to send a deposit then he will send the documents and keys. There was no way I was going to do that! He is very quick at responding to my emails. I found this forum from google searching anthony wesley. Hope this helps!
