Subject: RE: RESERVE/BOOK THE ROOM TODAY OR TOMORROW AS I ASKED YOU TO::::
Date: Thu, 23 Dec 2010 16:08:42 +0000
My dear,
Am happy to receive your mail once more about my flat.. but i do not receive money in advance for my flat unless you arrive here.
if you want me to keep my flat for you will you arrive then you will need to reserve it.
THIS IS HOW TO RESERVE MY FLAT
below i explain for you how you will reserve my flat for yourself without paying me any money in advance..
You will need to ask your Friend or Parent in Italy to help you secure the money for the Security deposit and 1month rent to your name and you send me the proof..
You will need to ask your Friend or Parent to go to the nearest post office close to you and when they gets there... they will ask of the western union agency and the agency will give them a slip to fill and inside the slip... this is what your Parent or Friend will write inside it:
SENDER'S NAME:YOUR PARENT OR FRIEND'S NAME
RECEIVER OF MONEY NAME: YOUR NAME
SENDER'S ADDRESS: YOUR PRESENT ADDRESS
RECEIVER'S ADDRESS: LONDON
AMOUNT: 900 POUNDS
once this is done..the agency will give your friend or Parent a receipt and you will need to send it to me so i can verify it.
I shall contact the agency here to confirm if any money was secured to your name by your parent or friend that you were suppose to come and pick up when you arrive here and once the agency confirmed it to me that the receipt is valid then i shall send you the reservation receipt of my flat which you will need to bring along with you when you are coming to London.
Since your name is the Receive's name then you are the one that will pick up the money once you have seen my flat and pay me in cash after you have viewed my flat and you decided to rent it
About the transfer charge...i shall refund the transfer charge back to you on when you come for viewing or you can deduct it from the rent if you wish...ok
I waits for your containing the receipt tomorrow morning if you are truely serious about my flat so that i can be able to send you the reservation receipt by Tomorrow Evening.
NB: I advise you to reserve my flat as soon as possible if you are truly interested in keeping it for yourself cause many people are already contacting me about the flat.
Cheers,
Juliane.
The thief will tell you that you can rent his accommodation only if you can prove that you have genuine interest. He will ask you send money by wire transfer (normally Western Union) to yourself or a member of the family to show that you have sufficient finances and that you are not a "time waster".
Another variation of this scam is that you need to send (by Western Union) money in order that the keys and other documents can be couriered to you
He will ask you to send him the transfer details.
Make no mistake ! Western Union Transfers can be picked up virtually anywhere in the world and with the minimum of identification. They are almost impossible to trace once the money has been collected. You will never get to see the accommodation or your money 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 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.
