I have attached you with the agreement contract form to read/sign and email back to me and below is my bank details to proceed with the part payment of 300 GBP.
Account name: Anne Johntone
Account No. : 02191827
Sort Code : 62-30-53
Bank name: Secure Trust bank
Once you are done with the transaction, kindly email me the online screen shot for confirmation as am yet to activate my online banking alert. Please note once payment is confirmed the flat will be reserved for nobody but YOU!.. Looking forward to hear from you.
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.
