Hello,
The apartment is available. I really want to find a good and responsible tenant for it and i was hoping if you
can send me some personal and financial informations about yourself. The monthly rent of 500EUR will
include all utilities such as water, electricity, Internet, cable, parking etc. The only problem is that i had to
move with my job to London, United Kingdom where i am now and i left the keys and contract already signed
by me at a company called TNT and they will handle the payment and delivery for us. If you want to know
more about how this deal can work please get back to me ASAP and i will send you the details step by step.
Thank you and hope to hear back from you.
Have a good night !
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.
Hi again,
First of all if you want to rent the apartment you need to pay 1month of rent + 1 month of warranty (500EUR
+ 500EUR = 1000EUR ) ! (but that month of warranty you will receive back after you finish the contract !
The contract will be made on minimum 2 months and maximum 9 years ! The price is cheap because i want
to find a good person who take care of my apartment !
If we decide to proceed with this transaction, I will have to contact TNT and provide them all the necessary
information, so they can start the process right away. I will need your full name and address for that. You will
receive a notification from TNT shortly after that, together with all the instructions to follow and the invoice as
well. Regarding the payment, you will be instructed to deposit the money to a TNT account. They will hold
and insure your money until you check the apartment and decide if you want take it or not. That is how their
buyer protection policy works. As far as my concerns, I will be glad to know that TNT has the possession of
the money during the delivery period. That is my insurance.As soon as the funds have been deposited into
their account, they will immediately start the shipping process.
The keys and rental contract will be delivered at your address in no more than 3 working days. You will be
given a 7 days inspection period from the day you receive the keys and contract at home. If you decide to
hold the apartment, then you will have to authorize TNT to release the funds to me, and the transaction will
be completed. If you will not be satisfied with the apartment, you will be able to send the keys and contract
back through the same service and ask TNT to return the funds to you. Through I am sure you will love
the apartment, it is good to know that you do have this second option available. If you wish to proceed with
renting the apartment, please provide me your full name and address so I can initiate the deal through TNT
right away.
