Thanks very much for your reply, I can see your willingness to rent the flat.yes the apartment is furnished.Your application form is being approved, so you can rent the apartment if you are still interested, of course. I shall be renting you my home, please take care of the flat like it were your own.
I am giving you the flat in trust so please don't disappoint me. I promise you that you will love the apartment.
You must pay EUR 1400 (it represents the first month of rent + one month as rental guarantee-which will you will receive it back at the end of the contract).
You will need only to receive the keys and the contract to check it, and see if you like it.
I am in Liverpool now but I found a way for us to complete the deal safely and fast, if you move fast as well.
I left the keys and contract of the apartment, already signed by me at a escrow company called MoneyBooker.They will handle the transaction (payment and delivery for us).
Please click on the link bellow to the MoneyBookers website to see how we can complete the deal safely and fast directly from the website of the company where the procedure is explained: https://www.moneybookers.com/app/help.pl?s=escrow&l=EN .
Let me know if you are interested please, as soon as you read this message because I really need to take care of this matter and start the transaction with MoneyBookers.

Thanks,
Matteo Draghi

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 i have contacted Moneybookers and i hope you have received all the details in order to complete the transaction.I have attached a copy of my id.
You must give them your full name and shipping address to receive to receive the keys and all the instructions.Moneybookers will send you the keys and the contract.
You have 14 days to inspect apartment since the arrival date.If you want to keep the apartment, they give me the money, and we go on from there.
If you do not keep the apartment, you give the keys/contract back to moneybookers and you get your money back.The MoneyBookers fees will be paid by me.
Thanks again for your time and look forward to hear from you soon.
Thanks,Matteo Draghi

PS:if you have not received the details from MoneyBookers please check your spam folder too
