However the first month rent is $700 and the security deposit is $350 but the security deposit will be return back to you at the end of your tenancy, As you have said i will accept the security deposit first and when you move in, then you come up with the first month rent, if you are ready to put down a security deposit now, then that will not be a problem.

Here are the contents of the document..

So pls get back to me as soon as you can..Here is my contact phone number +447024064874, you can contact me anytime.
I await your reply ASAP.
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.
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.
