if a person operating the email [email protected] contacts you save your $.
below is the reply I received from this person who is also operating out of an email account [email protected]




Thanks for the reply and the sincere interest you have in my flat. My flat
is available and I am willing to have you in my flat as long as you pay your
rent at when due.

However,it is unfortunate that my past bitter experience of inviting people
to come and view my flat without any form of confirmation of their financial
ability and not keeping up to time as at when scheduled, has brought about
great loss to me. I have traveled all the way from Ireland to take some
interested candidates round my flat because that's where i work.

Some outside tenants do not have the money to pay the rent and yet they
disturb the the landlord to arrange a viewing with their friend or relative
who live close by, also some do not meet up with the appointments which has
led to the dismissal of some landlords in office by there employers.

Henceforth, my lawyer and i have decided to carry out a simple test on
seriousness and financial ability to pay for my rent before coming for
viewing. I would not ask you to send your bank statements or pay slip. At
least 1 month rent together with the security deposit £ 400 which is
refundable would be required from you to transfer to someone close to you
through Western Union Money Transfer agent using your name as the Sender and
your friend's name as the Receiver.

Once you have done this, scan the receipt to me and if you do not have
scanner, you may write out the details on the receipt as i will send it to
my lawyer to verify if it's truly genuine and available in your friend's
custody, after verification, then we can proceed for the viewing.

Note that the transfer must be confirmed valid before the receiver picks up
the money and also, i will refund back to you the cost of transfer when we
meet.

I look forward to reading from you soon.

Regards
Mr/Mrs John
