Good Day To You.
Thanks for the interest in my flat. I have attached the pictures of the room and also the tenancy form . It is a 2 bedroom and a bath. One room is bigger than the other. The bigger room cost £400 while the smaller room cost £350 a month.I am looking for students or professional people to occupy the room, Deposit is only £400 plus 1st month Rent. All common areas like kitchen, dining room, living room, washer/dryer and fenced backyard are accessible. All you pay is rent and the apartments take care of the bills. A little about myself... I'm a 23 year old female. I work approx. 60 hours a week so I'm out of the house a lot. Pretty mellow and quite, except for an occasional get-together with friends.

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.

Betreff: Re: You Are Approved

Am very sorry i want you to know that before then or before you arrived you have to secure the room Before viewing .. i had a bad experience in the past . which i can't let it to happen to me ever again, I invite someone to come and view my flat and he use the opportunity to rob my flat with some other man; and they come with guns and since then i have promise not to invite people to my flat again. that was the instruction giving to me by the police. You have to secure the room. and that is the main reason why western union was chosen as means of payment Is that i want to be sure that your main aim is about renting. and have it in mind that the deposit is 100% refundable back in case after viewing and decide not to rent the room
