I came across an ad online for a beautiful apartment up for rent (in the same town I live in) but the person trying to rent it is in London... I know that these apartments usually rent around $1000 a month and this person is renting it out for $650 a month, everything included. These are the emails he sent me...
I first emailed him asking if the apartment was still available
he said:
Hello,
Thank you for your interest. The Apartment located in __________________ is still available. It has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. I am looking for someone to live in it, as soon as possible, because my company has won the auction for a project, in construction, for a building that will rise up in London, United Kingdom. I am a civil engineer, so my accommodation period in England will be about 4 years. The renting period is from 1 month up to 4-6 years. As a result of this I want to rent, for this period, at this price and also to find the perfect person for my apartment. I`m the owner of the apt and it's like in the pics.The apartment is unfurnished but if you want you can use my furniture from the storage unit. The rent for 1 month is 650CAD$ (for the whole apartment) including all utilities (water, electricity, Internet, cable, parking, air conditioning, dishwasher, garbage disposal, microwave, refrigerator). You can move in the apt in the same day when you receive the keys. The only problem is that I`m the only person who has the keys but I hope that we will find a compromise.
Any further questions please contact me back by e-mail.
Thank you for your interest and i`m waiting for your answer
Then I had asked about making an appointment to view the apartment...

Hello ,
Thank you for your reply. Like I have informed you before, the price you have to pay for one month of rent will be 650CAD$ with no extra fees you will have access to all facilities provide by the building. The utility bills are paid directly from my bank account. The price will not increase monthly, it will remain the same for the whole period that the contact will be signed for. We can start with a basic 1 year contract with the possibility of renewing it or with the period of time suitable for you.About the payment, I would like to receive it monthly into my bank account and I hope there will be no problem for you to wire the money to it. The apartment is ready for you, you only need to receive the keys and the contract so you could check it out, and see if you like it. The apt will be unfurnished but it can be rented very easily with the furniture at the same price. Also pets are allowed. Since I'm in London, United Kingdom we need a way to complete this deal that will allow us to make sure we receive what we are asking for. I have found a way for us to complete the deal safely and fast, and in this way you will receive the Keys in less than 2 days. The solution is provided by a company called GlobeAir-Cargo-LTD which will handle the payment and delivery of the Keys. I have found a procedure that will allows you to pay for the rent of the apt only after you will receive the keys, and through this way you will see it and decide if you like it or not, before sending the payment. Please click on the link bellow to the GlobeAir-Cargo-LTD web site to see how we can complete the deal safely and fast directly from the web site of the company where this procedure is explained in the SAFE EXCHANGE SERVICE: globeair-cargo-ltd.all.co.uk/index2.php ( if the link is not working please try and copy it in your web browser)
Let me know if you are interested !
... I found this to be a hard one to figure out, I'm not sure if he is a scammer or not and any input would be greatly appreciated!
