Dear Michelle

I'd be more than happy to rent my apartment to you,

It will be available, ready for move-in around 10-12 days from now, maybe even sooner, the current tenants are due to move out in the following week.

My spouse and i are real estate investors. We rent properties in the United States, in Dubai and Europe: in London, Berlin, Warsaw and Barcelona, if you ever plan for a vacation let us know, we can assist you with airport pickups, guided tours, best tourist attractions, restaurants, theaters etc . Our plan for the following year is to secure financing for 3 apartments in Asia: Thailand, Japan and South Korea.

All our properties rent with TripAdvisor.com, we've been working with them for the past 7 years, received Certificates of Excellence Awards and have only excellent reviews. TripAdvisor is the world's most trusted and well known company for accommodation reviews, hotels, travel, vacation rentals, restaurants, tourist attractions etc.

Booking and renting our apartment with Tripadvisor is just like the last time when you've booked a hotel, ski chalet, vacation house, etc Everything is simple safe and secure the booking is done online.

Tripadvisor policy covers and secure tenants up to $10,000 with Peace of Mind Guarantee for rentals.

See the link for more details about their Peace of Mind Guarantee:

Did you see the apt's youtube video ? Does it meet your needs? Is there anything in particular you are looking for ?
How long have you been looking for a rental, are you looking to make a decision soon ?

We're looking for tenants with a good situation that will price and care for our property. Could you please email something that shows you are financially stable, it can be anything: pay stub, a statement etc whatever you want, that shows you are in a healthy financial status.

Any questions you may have please don't hesitate to ask.
Warm Regards.

Diana

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.
