Looking forward to hear from you so we can proceed on the documentation and shipment of the keys to you.

Here is my number:(240) 382-2682 call or text me anytime
Raymond McDowell.

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.

Raymond is also trying to lease a property in Webster New York for $600, he gave me an email to send him my information - [email protected].

Thanks for the info, notfooled63.

Do you have a link to his advert and/or any other details.
If you post up the contents of his email, it might help others. I know that they look the same but sometimes there are minor changes to the scammer's wording that helps with investigation.

Thanks.
