To: Michelle Banks
Hi,
Thanks for the interest in my flat. I have attached the pictures of the rooms. It is a 3 bedroom and 3 baths. I currently occupy one room so i have two rooms available now for rent. One room is bigger than the other. Both rooms are en suite. The bigger room cost £350 while the smaller room cost £300 a month. I am looking for students or professional people to occupy the rooms, Deposit is only £300 plus 1st month Rent. All common areas like kitchen, dining room, living room, washer/dryer are accessible. All you pay is rent and the flat takes care of the bills. A little about myself... I'm a 26 year old single (VERY BUSY). I am easy going and neat. I am not smoking and I haven't pets, All I ask is that you don't bring ANY drama! I work approx. 84 hours a week so I'm out of the house a lot. super laid back and non-judgmental. Pretty mellow and quite, except for an occasional get-together with friends. Pets are welcome.

The thief will tell you that you can rent his accommodation only if you can prove that you have genuine interest. He will ask you send money by wire transfer (normally Western Union) to yourself or a member of the family to show that you have sufficient finances and that you are not a "time waster".
Another variation of this scam is that you need to send (by Western Union) money in order that the keys and other documents can be couriered to you
He will ask you to send him the transfer details.
Make no mistake ! Western Union Transfers can be picked up virtually anywhere in the world and with the minimum of identification. They are almost impossible to trace once the money has been collected. You will never get to see the accommodation or your money 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 Gumtree or similar listing sites. If you receive any requests from 'Landlords' asking for some kind of payment by Western Union 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.
