I am Mr James Osborne,me and my wife to be co-own the studio flat
and we used to stay in the property but right now,we are currently
in Wales due to a contract we have there but we can come down to
the London for you to view anytime you want to and all bills are
included including council tax.


Note that we have several properties around the world and we are
well-to-do and that is why we are offering cheap rent to those in
need of cheap and affordable rent especially students as we are not
really after the money because we are aware that ''what shall it
profit a man to gain the whole world and loose his soul''.


The studio is well linked to the center of the city and also,we will
like to know how many months you intend staying,your contact
phone numbers and the country you are at the moment.

You will have your own privacy as the studio has a very large one
bedroom large enough to contain two people just in case you have a
visitor.

You can decide to rent for as long as you want because when we are
through with our contract and finally get back to London,we will not
be moving back to our studio.

This person asks for proof that you are able to pay the deposit and rent due to a string of time wasters (see below).
This proof is in the form of a Western Union or MoneyGram payment either to him, your friend or family member.

Sounds safe. It's not!

At other times, this person asks for a deposit payment via Western Union or Moneygram with the promise that they will send the keys through a courier company.

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 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.

Thanks for your interest in my property once again.I can send a copy of my ID to you for the purpose of trust.


I can reserve my property for you till you come to London because i will like to let you know that there are some other interested candidates but you are among the top candidates after reading through your last email and I see You sound responsible but note that we will only deal on a first come first serve basis.


If You really want my apartment,you will have to make a refundable security and damage deposit of £1000 via WESTERN UNION MONEY TRANSFER with your name as the sender's name and my name as the receiver's name so that i can reserve my flat for you and when we meet.


Note that if you do not feel comfortable sending it to directly to my name,you have an option of giving somebody the money and have the person send the money to your name via western union but the receiver's address will be London,UK so that i can
verify your transfer easily and when you arrive in London,you will be the one to pick up your money since your name will be the receiver's name.



Immediately after I confirm from WESTERN UNION that the deposit has truly been sent by you, i can reserve my property for you and shelve aside other interested candidates who may pay the deposit before you if you are not fast enough.



Another reason for these actions is that I had a bitter experience
recently in the hands of one so-called interested candidate who made
me come down to London claiming he was interested in my property and
on getting to the London,i waited for him at the meeting spot and the
idiot ended up wasting my precious time and money coming to London
only for him to call me later on that he was sorry and that he will
not be able to rent my flat anymore because the person he was
expecting money from disappointed him so i have resolved that anybody
interested in my flat must show signs of seriousness by paying the
deposit before i travel down to the London and reserve my property for
such person.





At the moment,i am still trying to recover from the bitter experience i had recently in the hands of that man so after making the transfer,get back to me with the evidence that you have made the deposit by scanning a copy of the WESTERN UNION MONEY TRANSFER receipt or simply send the details via email just in case you do not have access to a scanner and after i have confirmed that the deposit has been truly made by you,i will issue an official document confirming the booking to you to
sign as an evidence of payment of the deposit.



The details I will need after the transfer if you choose to send to me

are:



SENDER'S NAME: YOUR NAME
RECEIVER'S NAME:JAMES OSBORNE
SENDER'S ADDRESS:YOUR ADDRESS IN GERMANY
RECEIVER'S ADDRESS:RIVIERES AVENUE, COLWYN BAY,CONWY,WALES,LL29 7DP
10 DIGIT WESTERN UNION MTCN NUMBER:?(YOU WILL PROVIDE THIS FROM THE

WESTERN UNION MONEY
TRANSFER RECEIPT WHERE YOU MAKE THE TRANSFER FROM)
EXACT AMOUNT TO SEND:£1000



I am also aware there is a small fee for the WESTERN UNION MONEY
transfer charges.I promise to refund that also to you when we meet in
London so let me know how much the transfer charges will be.


Note that the security and damage deposit is refundable.

from,go to the link below and fill in your address:

Hope to read from You soon.

REGARDS.
