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 was defrauded by this thief. He's using cash deposits in an RBC account for his "lawyer" to collect deposits.

phone numbers:
him 604-259-3766
his "lawyer" 604-265-2487

emails:
[email protected]
[email protected]
[email protected]

Address associated with the RBC account:
1926 Marmier St.
Longueuil, QC
J4K4T6

He's going by Marion Martin now. I can't believe I was stupid enough to trust this scammer. I reverse searched all of his images and there were no results. I didn't think to search his emails until he asked for a third month's rent in inclusion to first and last that he collected.

RBC doesn't care that he's using their business to scam people and the police can't do anything because it is not a priority. Immediately place a fraud alert on your credit account with Transunion or Equifax. Don't be naive and too trusting like me and stay away from this thief. Lesson learned :(
