Thanks for your interest my flat.
Viewing is possible asap if you can meet up with my solicitors requirements...
My solicitor and i had some past bitter experience of booking viewing
and reserving accommodation for tenants without any form of
confirmation of their financial ability and
not keeping up to time as at when scheduled has made me loss time and
money for traveling as I currently work and Live in Ireland.

I will not collect any deposit from you until i take you round my flat and you are satisfied with it, i just need to confirm your financial ability before i can come down and i will also need to seek two days off from work before i can come and take you round and hand
over the keys to you asap...Also some tenants do not meet up with the appointments which has led to the dismissal of some landlords in office by their employees, I hope you understand this.

Therefore my Solicitor has acknowledge a protocol by which you can
confirm your financial ability to me before I schedule a viewing and
also book a ticket here to come down there to take you round the flat.
In this case, a bank-statement wont be accepted as we have had wayward tenants tendering fake documents, also you don't need to pay any
upfront or reservation yet, all we require is, You will need to
transfer at least 4 weeks rent payment(£600) and the security deposit(£500) to your friend,partner or family member living within the UK premises....

You can make the transfer within your family and scan the receipt to me so that i can forward it to my solicitor to confirm it to be available for pickup,then i call you to pick it up and then i call you to cancel the money and make arrangement for viewing ASAP.
I AM NOT ASKING YOU TO SEND THE MONEY TO ME BECAUSE I WILL NOT COLLECT
ANY DEPOSIT UNTIL YOU HAVE VIEWED AND YOU ARE SATISFIED WITH MY FLAT..Scan the receipt and send it to me so that i can forward it to my solicitor to confirm that you can afford the flat and that you are really
interested AND NOTE THAT THE TRANSFER CHARGES WILL BE REFUNDED BACK TO
YOU AS SOON AS YOU COME FOR THE VIEWING OF THE FLAT SO MONEY IS NOT MY
PROBLEM.......

My solicitor will also show up on the view day with all required
documents because he is a very busy man and has a lot of properties that he is looking after, he wants to confirm the transfer before coming. I will contact you as soon as the transfer has been confirmed
to go and pick the money up or cancel the transaction....I will refund
all charges procured in the transfer as soon as i arrive on the view or move in day......I just want to confirm that you are capable of renting my flat and that you are really serious about it before coming over and asking for two days off at work...

Kindly reply or feel free to call me if you have questions to ask....+447031877628
Pls no call after 9pm

Regards

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.
