Hello,
Glad to hear from you again. As I told you before i can rent you the place for 1270$/month with full access to all the building amenities. The rent will not increase during the entire rental contract. I need to know how many people will stay in the apartment and also what type of rental contract do you prefer: 6 months with option of renewal or 1 year with option of renewal. The monthly payments can be wired to my Bank Account or any other payment method suitable for both of us. The apartment is in excellent condition like in the pictures and you just need to receive the keys and contract so you can check the place.
At this moment I'm located in London, United Kingdom and I think we need a safe way to complete this deal. I already have a solution provided by a worldwide third party company called TransUnion SmartMove (https://www.mysmartmove.com). They are providing assistance in handling the payment and delivery of the rental package and using their service you are be able to check the apartment before i receive the funds. You have full payment control until you will check the apartment. I'm registered with this company since 2009 and I have a positive record of 4 transactions as landlord and also as a tenant. They are really professional and they have great services. I just used their services again last month to find a new place to stay for me here in London.
I'm waiting for your answer if you are interested. I can provide you the transaction steps and everything you need to know about this process.
Thank you and hope to hear from you soon!

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.
