I'd be more than happy to rent my apartment to you,
Our current tenants are due to move out in the following weeks, it will be ready for move-in 2-3weeks max.
You can book the apartment now or secure it now for you to move in later.

My family and i own and rent properties in the US and abroad in London, Barcelona, Mexico, Cancun, Tijuana etc, 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

The rental is done online, quick and easy simple and secure. We rent our properties via TripAdvisor, they're the world's most trusted and well known company for accommodation, real estate reviews, rentals, hotels, travel, vacation rentals, restaurants, attractions etc. We've been working with them for the past 8 years, received Certificates of Excellence Awards, lots and lots of excellent reviews and satisfied tenants.

We're looking for tenants with a good situation that will appreciate and care for our property. Move in requirements are 2 months rent in advance, plus one month refundable deposit, that you will get back when you move out.

Just a few quick questions so i don't waste your time.

Did you see the apt's youtube video ? Does it meet your needs? Would you have any special requirements ?
How long have you been looking for a rental, are you looking to make a decision soon ?

Please take a look at the apt's youtube video, it's description, that of the area and amenities to make sure it's what you are interested in. If you've decided you want to rent it and are not just passively looking we can move forward.

We want only serious people with a healthy financial situation. So could you please email us something that shows you are financially stable ( a bank statement, payslip, screenshot etc ) anything you want that shows you're in a good financial situation: 2months rent and one as refundable deposit should be available and paying future monthly rent should not be a problem, it should be financially feasible for you.

Warm Regards!

Don

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.
