Hello,

Yes the apartment is still available.
To complete your reservation, reply requesting a booking agreement form with rent deposit payment information

I await your response

Thanks

This person asks that you are able to pay the deposit and rent to secure the property.
This payment is in the form of a bank transfer, Western Union or MoneyGram payment either to him or his assistant.

Sounds safe. It's not!

At other times, this person asks for a deposit payment via bank transfer, 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.

Attached is the Booking Agreement Form. Fill and return as all details therein will be with me for processing of your rental and your proper recognition.
Information on how to make payment:
You will have to go to Western Union Money Transfer agent close to you to do the transfer in person. The receiver is my accounts personnel. Write on a piece of paper the name and address provided below as you go to the agent with the cash.
The information you would need at the stand for sending the rent deposit are:
RECEIVER'S NAME: Joy Davidson
RECEIVER'S COUNTRY: 26 Rue des Abbesses, 75018 Paris, France
Information for sending is also included in the booking agreement form.
Scan copy of the completed form and the rent deposit confirmation (receipt issued to you at the money transfer agent) then forward them to me.
If you have any question as regard payment, do feel free to contact me
You will be sent an email on your Booking confirmation after you have sent in the filled in form receipt of deposit payment
When you get to the apartment, the keys and receipt of payment for the apartment will be handed over to you after you made the balance payment
Note: It's only when payment has been made that we can secure your dates.
Look forward to welcoming you to the apartment
Many Thanks
Pascal
