Regarding your request on sulekha. This is a two bedroom fully furnished apartment which both rooms have there own attached bathroom. I use the other room alone but presently I'm in Maine to visit my parents and I'll be back in about 3 weeks. All utilities for the month are included in the rent. Rent per/month 700 and One time security deposit 700. But the security deposit is fully refundable at the end of your stay.

Here is the Apartment address: 2600 Bird Ave, Miami, FL 33133

Attached is the picture of the room I'm renting and other pictures are the common areas which you'll have access to always. You can give me a call or drop a text on 786-903-2476 for further information.

This person asks for a deposit payment via Western Union, MoneyGram 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.
