And the follow up;

Hello,

Attached are the interior pictures for you to have an idea how beautiful and spacious the inside looks and also is the application form. Looking forward to hear from you with all the details so that i can have it in my file in case of issuing the receipt for you and contacting you.

Await your urgent reply so that we can discuss on how to get the document and the key to you,Please i am doing this based on Trust & Honesty. So, I want you to stick to your words, as i am putting everything into God hands, so please do not let me down in this property of mine and God bless you more as you do this. Again I would like to tell you that there is no way you can view the interior because the keys and the document is here with me in Virginia and you driveby and view the exterior of the apartment for you to know where the apartment is located and how the exterior look likes.That is why i attached the interior pictures for you to have the idea of how the interior look likes.


Once i received the filled copy of the rental application form, I will make an arrangement on how to get the apartment keys and documents shipped to you without any further delay.


N:B : I am doing this because of God and as a good Christian, If you can pay two months upfront, you will get one month free , I am currently doing my Master Degree in Divinity programme at the Virginia Theological Seminary, Virginia



Note:- I am only looking for someone who is ready to move in as soon as possible since my apartment is free right now and i will be giving out one month free.



Thanks so much and have a nice day.

This person asks for a deposit payment via Western Union and promise they will send the keys through a courier company.

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 payment to 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.

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 Gumtree or similar listing sites. If you receive any requests from 'Landlords' asking for some kind of payment by Western Union 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.

Now advertising a different address.

Here is the address of the apartment 1252 Hornby Vancouver (Downtown) British Columbia V6Z 0A3 .
