Predmet: Re: Flat details and pictures in Brighton
Hello Dasa ,
Thanks for your mail and once again your much interest in renting my spare room. The security deposit will be given back to you when you're moving out of the flat. I would like to tell you that i have lots of offer at hand and i may have to make my decision soon...I also want you to know that you are doing the best thing by looking for accommodation before coming down to Brighton..Because a lot of people come to Brighton everyday and they end up having nowhere to stay because they fail to seek for accommodation before coming down.
As regards my spare room..It might be gone before your arrival in Brighton...So, i will advice you to book down the room in form of reservation...To go about this..You will have to get back to me with the following details..Full name, Scanned copy of ID or Passport, Current address and phone number, Move in date, sex and your date of birth.
I need this information to prepare the tenancy contract so i can send to you for you to go through the terms and conditions as regards living in my Flat. And as soon as the tenancy agreement form is ready you have to make reservation deposit to my lawyer so that i can be positive about your reservation. You'll be issued an acknowledgment receipt of the payment which serves as you've reserved the room as your room to move in when you get to Brighton. I'll be looking forward to read from you soon. We can as well chat on msn if you have any question, my id is [email protected]
Regards,
Kate.
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.
