I'm satisfied with your profile, you could be the "owner" of it if
everything turns out all right and you are serious.
As for describing myself, I'm a mature individual, very sincere,
respectable
and love friending new people. I am a caring person who believes in taking
good care of things.
I am currently 45 years old and married. My wife's name is Tamara (she is
6 months pregnant) and have one daughter that is 5 years old. I work hard
for my family. I don't have time to play games with other people.
I resided in the apartment with my family. I lived in it for over 5 years,
loved every day of it. I spent a lot on my property that I want to give
you for rent, so I will solicit for your absolute maintenance of this
apartment and want you to treat it as your own, is that taken, I want you to keep it
tidy all the time so that I will be glad to see it neat when I come for a check up.
Right now I`m out of town, I'm in London, England. I got the opportunity
to open a franchise ( a small business ) in London, England. We've tried to
develop a family business but unfortunately the things didn't work the way
we've expected and now I am at one step from losing my market.
I had all my family moved here for 3 years. I want to start a new life
here,
in 3 years I will decide if I will keep that apt, and get back in town or
if I will sell it and move forever in England.
This is the second time I tried to rent the apartment... I had a deal with
somebody before who said he will rent the apartment if i come back... So i
got a plane ticket, and guess what? When i arrived there, he didn't show
up
and after 2 days he gave me a call and said that he is sorry but he can't
rent it anymore...
Please DO NOT REPLY to this e-mail if you don't have the amount available,
or if you don't intend to be serious! So don't get me wrong and don't take
it personally, but now i don't want to buy another plane ticket to come
and fall for it once more, maybe you wont show up.
The apartment is unoccupied, you can move in the same day or whenever you
are ready. The lease is flexible, can be month to month, min stay 5 months.
I have found a way for us to complete the deal safe and fast, and in this
way you will receive the keys in less than 2 days, if you move fast as
well.
I think this is the best and safest way for the two of us.
This is a 100% safe method!
There's a return policy so you will have the chance to inspect it (2 days)
before final decision. You will see it and decide if you will stay in the
apartment or not before I receive my payment.
If you are interested in it mail me back and I am sure that we will find a
good way to conduct this deal.
Sincerely,
Bert
This person asks 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 either to him, your friend or a family member.
Sounds safe. It's not!
At other times, this person asks for a deposit payment via Western Union or Moneygram with the promise that they will send the keys through a courier company.
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.

I request a safety deposit - $495.00 - they will be the payment for the
first month of rent. I accept payment though Interlink Express Service,
which will ensure the funds and hold them.
I will not receive this deposit, the payment details will be unavailable to
me, i will get the payment only if you decide to rent the apartment... if
you do not rent the apartment you will get the money back the same day!
These details will be kept in escrow until the delivery is made and the
inspection is completed.
Basically the money will be sent to them and they will keep the money until
you will receive the keys and the contract and only after you will inspect
the apartment they will forward the money to me.
You will have the chance to inspect the apartment 2 days and decide either
you keep it or not. If you decide to keep it, the Interlink people will
release me the funds, if NOT, you only have to return the keys to them, they
will refund the money to you and the keys back to me, on my expense!
If you agree with the rental conditions, we can get things started. This way
I will also reserve the apartment for you and refuse other offers.
These are my terms, please email me back soon with your decision!
Sincerely,
Bert
