Hi,
It is nice reading back from you. I really appreciate your interest in my room. I would like you to know little about me, I am a british citizen with United Kingdom of Great britain passport. My father a British and my mother an Australian, I live all my life in Australia with my mum. I am a Researcher with Miles Morgan Australia Pty. So i research for my company, I just travelled to Bringham city in UK for a product research. I spend most of my free time at home, so i know you will enjoy my company as flatmate. But due to my research trip i dropped the spare key with my lawyer at his firm in Adelaide, so he can easily conduct the inspection and prepare the Contract Lease on my behalf. So i would like you to book an appointment with my lawyer at his firm to meet him face to face.
Thereafter, you can proceed with the payment and move in. Kindly get back to me on how you will travel to Adelaide for the appointment. Thank you once again for your interest.
I hope to read from you again soon.
Best regards
Serena

Dear Con Warner,
It's a great pleasure reading from you again. I'm so glad to realize that you are a very reliable and straight forward person, since you can't travel to Adelaide for the appointment then my lawyer will prepare the Contract Agreement Lease and post the keys to your present address through a courier service to make it easy for you. So you will need to provide your details for him to prepare the Contract Lease in your name, so that you know the terms and conditions of living in my apartment by making $800 per month which includes all utilities bill plus refundable security deposit of $800 as advance payment for the room to be fully secured. Please provide the following details,
Full Name
Present Address
Sex
Age
Occupation
Contact Number
Move In Date
As soon as you provide, we'll need to proceed with the second step of the process making your rent payment. I know quite well that we'll really enjoy each others company in the flat. Thank you for your seriousness and effort.
I hope to get it soon.
Best regards
Serena
This person asks for a deposit payment via Western Union with a promise that he will send the keys through a courier company (see below).
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 payment to 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.
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 by Western Union 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.
