I am renting out the apartment to you directly because i am tired of using agents, the agent inflates the price and it takes longer to rent out and also his not competent enough to handle the welfare of my property. because of this reason and more i had took the keys and document along with me here.

For you to reserved the apartment, we will both sign a rental agreement which will be prepared by my lawyer because this will stand as guarantee for both of us. After that i will shipped the keys to your address via DHL courier service which will arrived (1-2 days delivery) After your initial stated payment of first month rent and the security deposit has been confirmed.

Please, reconfirm your delivery address with care as this will be used for the shipping processing of the keys and house documentations after we must have concluded the tenancy rental agreement contract. If i didn't response to your call that means i am busy at work.

Thanks again for your time and look forward to hear from you soon.

Yours sincerely

This Scammer will arrange to send you an Invoice -- Make no mistake, the Invoice will be fake !
If you are reading this because you have received such an invoice, kindly forward it to the address in my signature line and I will report the details to the appropriate authorities.

I, too, have been contacted by this person with the same e-mails. Craigslist has a number of these con artists posting from it's web site. Any time a landlord says he is out of the country be VERY careful!
