$500 Rental Deposit + $51 Western Union Fee = Scammed!

Filed under: Housing Scams — Tags: — admin @ 1:15 am 753 views

A woman in Madison, WI fell victim to the the old Nigerian rental scam.  A scammer by the name of Mike Moore from Lagos, Nigeria posted a property for rent that he did not own.  The scammer convinced the woman to wire the security deposit to him in Nigeria.  He later asked for another $1,400 for “complications” with the property.  She contacted the police after he wanted the extra money.

Anyone else come across this scum bag, Mike Moore?  If so, please post any emails that you have received from him, so we can warn others before they are scammed!
