Hello ,
Thanks alot for your kind interest in my apartment, really
appreciate it, i would like you to know that the apartment is still
available for rent and its indeed lovely.
Here are the details of the apartment :
Address:892 Bergen St # 1B, Brooklyn, NY 11238
1 bedroom
1 bathroom
Price:$ 750
Outdoor Space: Yes
closets hardwood floors
Kitchen utilities available
Gas Cooker, Stove
A/C
German wood closet, Fireplace
Monthly Rents : $750 ( Including utilities )
Security deposit : $750 ( Refundable if paid and wishing to move out)
I am looking for a new tenant to move into the apartment, i would like
you to know that i wont be moving back into the apartment, so you can
stay for as long as you wish to. my reason for letting the apartment
out is the fact that i am presently on a missionary work to Abuja,Nigeria and
its going to keep me here for 5 years, so i would be needing you to
take very good care of the unit, keep it clean and pay the monthly
rents at the apropriate time. cause i am a free and open minded person
and promise not to give you problems and i also need your corporation.
To move in, the Security deposit would be required, this is a Security
bond for both parties and 20% of it, would be used to pay for the
delivery charges of the KEYS, LEASE CONTRACT AGREEMENT AND RECEIPT FOR SECURITY DEPOSIT, so that you can go to the apartment, sign
Documentations and Immediate move in.

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.
