Subject: Home stay contract
To: Michelle Banks
Hello Michelle
I have attached you with the home stay agreement contract to read/sign and email back to me, while you proceed with the payment via wiring service such as Money Gram transfer. I would have asked you to transfer it into my bank account but it usually take five working days or more before it will reflect in my account and it's sometimes cause conflict if the transfer does not enter on time that's why I prefer Money Gram transfer. You don't need to worry about the Money Gram transfer charges because I'll be the one to refund it back to you on meeting. Let me know if this is clear to proceed by providing you with my details to proceed with the money gram transfer. Looking forward to hear from you.
Regards,
Michelle and Paul.
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.
