Hello,

vacant and available at 700 per month and 400 security deposit which
include the hydro,water,light,cable,internet, the apartment is already
vacant and available for both short and long term.............. if
probably you are interested.but am very sorry i may not be available
to arrange a viewing set up with you ,but i can send the exterior and
the interiors pics and full address for you to see and print out for
viewing at your own convenience by driving by.Because presently am not
in Canada now.I would have loved to sell the apartment off but my kids
pleaded that i should not sell it, just because they might need it
later in the future, my father is suffering from stroke so i have to
arrange a transfer move from where i work here to move in with him
and the kids in UNITED KINGDOM in order to take care of them and to
assist him in doing all other house core as well as his business
transaction.just need decent fellow who can take good care of the
apartment. 2928 Yonge Street.,that's the address.also you can find the
attach pics(ext.) of the apartment.I can send you the interior pics

Hope to hear from you soon


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 lawyer,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.
