You are going to send the payment via Western union outlet and the payment will be sent to me here in Nigeria, so we can secure the house for you and your family and also for you to have the keys and document in your possession ,and below is the information to send the payment through Western union Outlet.

Below is the payment information.

Receivers Name: KOLBE ANDREW
Address: 25 way street
City: Ikotun
State: Lagos
Zip Code: 23401
Country : Nigeria
Text Question: Favorite Color?
Answer: White?



As soon as you send the payment from the Western union Money Transfer Outlet close to you, you would be given some information.you can also locate a grocery store or Kroger store you are going to find western union outlet over there. You would have to get back to me with following information:



1. Full Sender's Name And Address Including Zip Code:
2. MTCN NUMBER #:
3. Amount Sent:


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.
