Darby Murphy Thomas Darby Murphy Thomas Rent Bond Scam Sydney NSW

Darby Murphy, who goes by Thomas, has attempted to commit a rent fraud to me. On 17 October 2017, I had a property inspection at unit 605/87 Bay St. This gentlemen introduced himself as Thomas and claimed to be the owner of the place. Upon my satisfactory inspection, Mr. Murphy asked me to transfer a 4-week bond deposit to secure my interest the property.

Fortunately, I postponed the transfer to do further research and found out that he is not the property owner. From this website, I also found out that he has done the exact same scam to someone else. I have filed a police report to stop him from defrauding other people. I strongly advise any other victims of Mr. Murphy to seek the Leichhardt Police for help as his identity has been registered in the system. 

 Although I myself have not been a victim of Mr. Murphy, the evidence that I have gathered, including text messages, emails, passport and bank account – will be helpful for any other victims of his to seek for damages and stop him from doing this again.
