To proceed I am attaching the rental forms
needed to be filled just to have written information of your intent to
lease my apartment. I suppose part of the information will also need
to be transferred to the contract,
I plan to make the keys available to collect through the building,
upon your arrival, so you can just pick up the keys at the building
prior to moving-in. I will however need to complete all the
documentations/agreement and take payment for the apartment so I can
send copies of everything to the building before you can go there to
collect the keys. It is important that all the paperwork be sent to
the building so they can enter your name into the building system and
so you can have access to all of the building facilities.
I have attached additional pictures of the apartment , and very much
look forward to sealing this with you. The apartment is a one bedroom
apartment and not a studio. As regards to payment of rent the first
deposits can be (or paid directly to my landlord's bank account).
Thanks so much for your understanding and efforts to make this work.
Hope to read from you soon.
Best regard,
This person asks for a deposit payment via Western Union, MoneyGram 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.
