I appreciate your interest in seeing our apartment.
I attached a few pictures, so you can have a better idea of what it looks like.. Check out the photos below and take a close look for yourself!
The apartment looks exactly like in the pictures, is fully furnished, finished with all the high grade finishings, sunny and very spacious.. when you'll come into this apartment, you're welcomed by tons of natural light, an open living area and chef's kitchen, with all facilities/utilities; (Dishwasher, refrigerator, stove, oven, juice machine, iron, toaster, coffee maker, microwave, vacuum cleaner, central air, Stainless Steel appliances). I have the option of sending all the furniture into storage room, if you have your furniture, because I'll contact a removals company, no extra costs!
You can rent this apartment for short term or long term, can be month to month, minimum stay 3 month. The rent is $800/month, all-inclusive; (Gas, water, cable, telephone, electricity, wireless/Internet, 2 parking spaces, in-suite washer/dryer and 1 storage unit to store extra stuff). The price will not increase monthly, it will remain the same for the whole period that the contract will be signed for.
I really need to take care of this matter before next weekend, so it is available and offers you the opportunity to be the first to enjoy it!
Don't hesitate on this awesome opportunity!
This apartment would be perfect for someone responsible and dedicated, that can take care of it, as if it were his home, so if you have pets, there's no issue, as long as you'll make clean up after them!
My name is Jack Logan, I'm the owner and for more information, feel free to contact me and I'll get back to you as soon as possible, with the complete application form.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Jack & family
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.
