Dear Michelle

Please be advised that property daily only assist us until you will inspect the apartment and decide about it. Once moved in, we won't be needing them anymore and we will deal directly. The utilities are now connected and working. After you move in, you can continue with the existing contract or we can transfer it onto your name. Either way, it's fine with me. The chiller and community fees are included in the monthly rent. What is not included and you will have to pay for, are the DEWA, satellite and internet. These comes at around AED400/month, but it really depends on you.

The apartment is located on the 36th floor. The procedure is as I told you in my last message. Once property daily will have your deposit, they will send you the package with the keys, contract and documents. You will submit the payment against an official invoice issued by them and of course the invoice will state that the amount is refundable in case you don't like the apartment. I'm sure this won't be the case, though.

Please review my last message to better understand the process and if everything is fine with you, then please provide me the requested details so we can move forward with the transaction.

Best regards,

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.

Dear Michelle

Your reply is well received. In order for you to move into the apartment, property-daily.com will send you a package containing the keys of the apartment and the tenancy contract. For this to happen, please provide me with your complete name and the address where you wish to receive the package. I will forward these details to property-daily.com and they will make contact. You will receive instructions to deposit an amount of AED5830 into their account. Property-daily.com will send you the package in 24 hours after confirmation of your payment. Starting from the day you receive the package you will have 7 days to inspect the apartment and see how you accommodate. You will be ensured because the money will remain in property-daily.com custody, until you inspect the apartment and declare yourself pleased.

After you decide to move in, property-daily.com will grant me access to the deposit you have made with them, and this way your deposit will become the payment for the first month of rent. I will also be ensured because property-daily.com will keep the money in their account until you move in. If, for whatever reason, you decide not to rent the apartment, you simply send back the keys and tenancy contract to property-daily.com and ask for a refund, but I know that this won't happen because you will love it.

So, if this is okay with you and you are determined to rent my apartment, then please send me your complete name and address, so I can forward your details to property-daily.com and they will start the formalities immediately.

I wish you all the best and I'll be waiting for your answer.
