Bonjour,

Bien reçu votre mail à propos de la location de mon Studio.


Actuellement je suis en déplacement sur Paris ( France ) dans le cadre des études de ma fille. Je devrais cependant la faire occuper bien avant mon départ mais le temps ne me l'a permis. C'est donc pour cette raison que je la loue à 710 $ afin d'assurer son occupation. Pour ce qui est de la visite, je vais me déplacer sur rendez-vous pour vous faire visiter l'appart ( je suis en déplacement uniquement a cause des études de ma fille ) et éventuellement passer à la signature du contrat de bail et la remise des clés . Je suis flexible a la durée du bail, vous pouvez emménager quand vous voudriez de la semaine prochaine ou début Avril - Mai . Ps: Pour la signature du contrat de bail de location, Le versement est un mois de loyer et un mois de caution ( qui sera remboursable à la fin du bail ou prise en compte pour le dernier mois de loyer ) soit ( 1420 $ ). Si vous êtes toujours intéressé pour que je vous laisse dans le prochain message la liste des pièces à fournir

Hello,

Well received your email about the rental of my Studio.


Currently I'm traveling to Paris (France) as part of my daughter's studies. I should, however, have it occupied well before my departure but time did not allow me. It is for this reason that I rent it at $ 710 to ensure its occupation. As for the visit, I will go by appointment to make you visit the apartment (I am traveling only because of the studies of my daughter) and eventually go to the signing of the lease and the surrender keys . I am flexible to the duration of the lease, you can move in when you want from next week or early April - May. Ps: For the signing of the lease contract, the payment is a month's rent and a month's deposit (which will be refundable at the end of the lease or taken into account for the last month's rent) is ($ 1420). If you are still interested in me leaving you in the next message the list of parts to provide

The Housing is Located at the following address: 5334 Drolet Street, Montreal, Quebec, Canada

 

Description:

 

Very nice Condo for rent on the terrace level located in a beautiful courtyard, 4 ½, 2 closed bedrooms (a large and a small), wood fireplace, central vacuum, dishwasher, laundry room, indoor garage, wooden floor free and ceramic, very well soundproofed, beautiful terrace in the inner courtyard, lots of vegetation, a small haven of peace on the Plateau Mt-Royal, 5 minutes from Laurier metro and all services ...

 

Attached are the photos of my accommodation.
Looking forward to reading you with pleasure.

This person asks for a deposit payment via Western Union, MoneyGram, pre-paid credit card or bank transfer with a promise that you can have the keys to a property that does not belong to him.

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 or MoneyGram payment to a lawyer,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.

All the details such as names, addresses, pictures etc. that the scammer uses in order to back up his story, are stolen from elsewhere.

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.
