Hello,

The Apartment located in 550 Lorne St, Kamloops, BC is still available.
It has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The company I work for has won the
auction for a project, in construction, for a building that will rise up in
London, United Kingdom. I am a civil engineer, so my accommodation
period in England will be about 4 years. I don't want to make a business with the
apartment or make a profit. Just want to find a good and trust person to
take good care of the place because I really love it. I`m the owner of
the apt and it's like in the pics.The apartment is unfurnished but if you
want you can use my furniture from the storage unit. The rent for 1 month is
680CAD$ (for the whole apartment) including all utilities (water,
electricity, Internet, cable, 2 parking spots indoor, air conditioning,
dishwasher, garbage disposal, microwave, refrigerator, stove, laundry
in-suite, washer and dryer). Everything in this apt is functional
because is recently renovated. If you need to do some reparations (the worst case
that could happen) in the apartment, I will cover the reparations cost, or I
will deduct those from monthly payment. You can move in the apt in the same
day when you receive the keys. The only problem is that I`m the only person
who has the keys because it is a private property but I hope that we will
find a compromise.

If you have any other questions please contact me back by e-mail.

Thank you for your interest and i`m waiting for your answer



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.

Hello ,
Thank you for your reply. Like I have informed you before, the price you
have to pay for one month of rent will be 680CAD$ with no extra fees you
will have access to all facilities provide by the building. The utility
bills are paid directly from my bank account. The price will not increase
monthly, it will remain the same for the whole period that the contact will
be signed for. We can start with a 6 months rental contract with the
possibility of renewing it or with the period of time suitable for you.About
the payment, I would like to receive it monthly into my bank account and I
hope there will be no problem for you to wire the money to it. The apartment
is ready for you, you only need to receive the keys and the contract so you
could check it out, and see if you like it. The apt will be unfurnished but
it can be rented very easily with the furniture at the same price. Also pets
are allowed. Since I'm in London, United Kingdom we need a way to complete
this deal that will allow us to make sure we receive what we are asking for.
I have found a way for us to complete the deal safely and fast, and in this
way you will receive the Keys in less than 2 days. The solution is provided
by a company called Same-Day-UK-Express which will handle the payment and
delivery of the Keys. I have found a procedure that will allows you to pay
for the rent of the apt only after you will receive the keys, and through
this way you will see it and decide if you like it or not, before sending
the payment. Please click on the link bellow to the Same-Day-UK-Express web
site to see how we can complete the deal safely and fast directly from the
web site of the company where this procedure is explained in the SAFE
EXCHANGE SERVICE: http://www.same-day-uk-express.all.co.uk ( if the link is not
working please try and copy it in your web browser). Any further questions
e-mail me back or you can call me at: 01144 20 8144 1599

Let me know if you are interested !



Hello again,

If you are ready to proceed with this transaction I will need to
inform you with the steps on how this service works and how we can
make it happen. You will only have to deposit to
BlueDot-Express-Delivery the first month of rent 680CAD$ so they can
proceed with the shipping, and you can receive the keys and the
contract. I will pay for a 2 days delivery so you will receive the
keys and the contract signed by me right away. I will explain you step
by step how this process will work:
1 - To start the process all I need is your full shipping info(full
name, address and phone number).
2 - I will go at BlueDot-Express-Delivery to deposit the keys and the
contract on your name as the intended receiver.
3 - BlueDot-Express-Delivery will check the package to see if
everything is in order and also the legal papers that will come along
with the keys and proof of ownership with their Real Estate
Professional Department in London.
4 - BlueDot-Express-Delivery will send you a delivery notification to
let you know they have the keys and the papers in their custody and
that I am the real owner of the apartment I am renting to you, in
which you will also have all the instructions to complete the Western
Union transfer to the Same-Day-UK-Express Agent.
5 - At this point you will have to go to a Western Union Location and
make a money deposit on the BlueDot-Express-Delivery Agent Name for
the amount we agreed, the total amount you shall deposit for the first
month of rent.
6 - After you make the deposit you will have to send the transfer
information to BlueDot-Express-Delivery.
7 - BlueDot-Express-Delivery will verify the payment information and
if everything is in order they will proceed with the delivery of the
keys and the contract.
8 - After you receive the package, you will go and check the apartment
and in 5 days (inspection time) you must contact
BlueDot-Express-Delivery to inform them if you keep the apt or not and
if all is in order you will instruct BlueDot-Express-Delivery to send
me the information about the money deposit and I will be able to
receive the funds. If you don`t like the apartment they will be
sending the money back to you and you will send back the keys and
contract. Also pay the Western Union transfer fees from the total
amount you need to deposit and send the rest in balance.
Let me know if we can move forward and e-mail me your full shipping
information I requested so we can proceed with this deal.

P.S.: The shipping company uptaded their database and now they are
called BlueDot-Express-Delivery: http://www.bluedot-express-delivery.com


Fake shipment site will be offline soon 8) - Michael
