The unit is still available for rent . I found a god job in England and i am the only person who have the keys but this is not a problem because there is a good delivery company who can help us to make the transaction . The price is $180pw and the bond will be $1000 . There are problem kids ? I hope not because i had 2 kids there who destroied the furniture . If you have any questions feel free to ask .
Thank you
This person asks for a deposit payment via Western Union or MoneyGram with a promise that he will send the keys through a courier company (see below).
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 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.
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.

Hi
Like i`ve told you I found a god job in England and i am the only person who have the keys but this is not a problem because there is a good delivery company who can help us to make the transaction .They need from me like warranty the keys and the rental agreement , for you they need the money for the bond( who is $1000) like warranty . After the have those things they will send an agent to your address and you will go with him to see the unit. You will have 10 free days to inspact a unit before you take a decision . After those 10 days you must contact the company with your decision .
If you agree to stay the company will give me the money and if you don`t like the unit they will return you the money . If you agree please give me your full name , address and phone number so i can start the process .
Thank you
