You can always bait her and keep stringing her along. Tell her you are willing to rent the place but will not send any money upfront until you've actually seen the place. Tell her you've had bad experiences seeing places that had great photos but the actual flat turned out to be much different. Maybe if she thinks she has you hooked it may prevent her from scamming someone else.

You can keep this going for a long time if you want. Tell her you can't find any Western Unions near you but you did get a Postal Order for the amount requested and will fax her a copy of the receipt to prove you have the funds. Then see what type of excuse she comes up with.

Now that you have a name and a bank account number, can you call the police to report this? Or at least ring HSBC - they surely have some sort of department dealing with fraud - to get this account shut down.

Here's another one.
I phoned expecting a guy called Adam, but get a woman who can't speak English very well - won't give the address of the place other than the street and half the post code, or any info other than that there are 2 other guys staying there - she wants to meet at a tube station and then she will talk with you on the way, "oh and it would be helpful if you had the deposit with you"!!!!!

The adds still up on Gumtree, but in case you're wondering ---->

DOUBLE ROOM for 1 person in nicely DECORATED FLAT IN CLAPHAM SOUTH, Poynders Road, SW4, second zone, 5MIN TUBE, GOOD BUS CONNECTIONS IN ALL DIRECTIONS. SHARED KITCHEN, BATHROOM AND SEPARATE TOILET with French and Italiano tenants. . NICE AND QUIET AREA. Bills included.

Hello,
Thanks for your mail.I really appreciate it.Its possible to have a look at my flat but due to some reasons,the landlord and landlady associates has stated that we should not allow anybody to come and have a look at any flat before making a deposit and sign contract,the reason is that a lot of people are complaining that some people will ask for viewing and they will attend to them to view the flat and at end, they will say they don't have money until they have there salary.I also had several cases of such been deceived by people and waisting my precious time and as a professional doctor,it has adverse effect on my work.If you are really interested in my flat you can convince me with ability to pay for my rent and that you re not a time waister by making a deposit and one month and security & damages which is not going to be in my care but in your care, by sending through MONEY GRAM,i don't want you to make the payment on my name just go to MONEY GRAM and make the payment by using your friend's name as sender name and your name as receiver which you can retrieve back after it has been confirmed and certified of your capability and seriousness. The details of the transfer would be sent to me while i send it to my lawyer in other to confirm to proof your seriousness once it has been confirmed i will e-mail you to make a schedule for a viewing immediately after viewing the flat you will go back and have the money from MONEY GRAM if you like my flat you will now give me the money in cash but if you don't want my flat you will have your money and i will give you back your MONEY GRAM fee charged for the transfer.I await your reply to know your interest.

HERE IS THE MONEY GRAM INFO

SENDER NAME;YOUR FRIEND' NAME
RECEIVER NAME;YOUR NAME
SENDERS ADDRESS:YOUR ADDRESS
RECEIVER ADDRESS;LONDON
MTCN DIGIT NUMBER:
AMOUNT TO BE DEPOSITED;800GBP

Deposit : £500 the security deposit is refundable


Thanks for the response and get back to me ASAP.


Best regard,

Dr.Fedric Cole.

THIS IDIOT IS EVEN ASKING ME TO GET A FRIEND INVOLVED SO THAT HE DOESNT GET INTO TROUBLE., THE THING I WANT TO KNOW IS IF I WAS TO USE A FRIEND, NOT THAT I EVER WOULD, HOW WOULD HE CASH IT. DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW THIS IS DONE? IM NOT INTO THIS KIND OF BULL****. I CANT BELIVE THAT WATCHDOG HASNT BEEN ON THIS....

The sort code, IBAN and Swift code all correspond to a UK bank account, not a US account. A little detective work shows that sort code 40-02-00 belongs to the HSBC branch in Salford

The Crescent
Salford
Greater Manchester
M5 4PB

Tel: 08457 404 404
Fax: 01619 104 140

You definitely need to contact the bank.

If you do a google on the sort code you'll find other posts regarding scams with that same account.

To string this person along, ask why you cannot use a Postal Order as it is prepaid, guaranteed and can be cashed immediately at any post office or bank. Tell him/her you have already got the postal order made out to her name and will send her a copy as proof, and if you decide to take the place you will give the postal order to her

What i think the best thing to do in these cases is if you can, go to the property before viewing or transferring any money and knock on the door. If someone answers, just talk to them so you can find out about what is really going on.

If you're going to be handing over close to £2k, it's well worth EVERY penny.

I think someone is trying to scam me at the moment.

A man called Peter, who says that his mum is really ill and now lives in liverpool.

It's a 2 bed apartment in South Kensington for only £680/month...again too good to be true!

the two emails he uses are

petomacy111@gmail.com

and

aboutapartment123@gmail.com

Phone numbers used

The problem is, most of these scammers rarely give you the actual address of the place. They will just say it's in Paddington, or on Fulham Rd but don't usually give you a building number no matter how many times you ask. They just want money upfront and always have some excuse why they cannot show you the flat in person before you send a deposit.

It sucks how many scammers are out there.

How are you getting on with HSBC? I'm curious to see how they react when they know one of their account holders is committing a crime using their account.

Here's the email the scammer peter sent me!

Hello,
I was discussing with my colleague about the idea on how we will arrange for the viewings because presently i am out of town and also for me to be so sure that i will not be coming down to London on a futile exercise and she advised that we can work out something via Western Union.
Here is the process;
Proceed to Western Union Location. You can check nearest location from
https://www.westernunion.co.uk
Collect a TRANSFER FORM from the location.
Transfer from: YOUR NAME
Transfer to: YOUR SPOUSE OR ANY OF YOUR RELATIVE
And complete any additional information in the form.
Submit the form and pay the money at the location.
There after, Scan the RECEIPT collected from Western Union
You can not be the SENDER and RECIEVER at the same time
Scan the receipt collect from the Western Union to me. Once you scan the receipt, i shall contact Western Union and confirm if truly the funds are available at https://www.westernunion.co.uk/WUCOMWEB/transferStatusAction.do?method=loadThereafter, you shall collect your money back via the receiver.
I shall be coming over the next day after you might have Scan the receipt.
You will be charged minimal fee for transfering and i promise to pay the money back to you once we meet.
I will get the contract ready for you to sign if you like to take the Flat after viewing and the keys will be handed over to you immediately after contract. Receipt of payment will be issued to you after which you have sign the lease agreement form.
REMEMBER THAT YOU HAVE ONLY TRANSFER THE FUNDS TO YOUR RELATIVE AND NOT ME, PLEASE GET ME VERY CLEARLY, I NEVER ASKED YOU TO TRANSFER THE MONEY TO ME.
I only want to be sure that you have the money at your disposal and this is the only way i can be confused that you have the money at hand.INTENDING TENANTS HAVE DECEIVED ME ALOT.A copy of a bank references,payslip,references from former landlord would have been okay for me to have a guarantee that you have the funds available,but i have had a bad experiences through this so i really dont want to go through them anymore.But i am very sure the pictures of flat you saw on the website are the ones of the flat i am trying to rent out to you and also the flat you are about to view,so there is no way you wont like the flat when you love the pictures.Lol.
You don't need any assistance than the way i have explained to you.
If truely you need the flat and you are willing and able to pay for the flat,then kindly proceed to Western Union location and complete the transaction.You can give me a call on 07024019627 for confirmation.
Regards


Oh and if they give you an 0702 number..it's one of the mobile numbers you can buy online and therefore they can't be traced!
