Craigslist scam (IP address has him in Nigeria) ..asks for money wire:

$700 / 1br - 800ft² - furnished one bedroom condo (cupertino)

Thanks for your mail i just have to let you know that i am the owner of the apartment.But as i have explained to you earlier in the previous email that i am in Philippines on a project and that you will not be able to view the interior of the apartment in person(the apartment is fully furnished) because I have the keys here with me and I am not returning anytime soon, that was why I sent you the interior pictures for you to have an idea how the inside looks pending the time we will finish the application process and immediately you send the payment, i have the keys and documents ready to ship via UPS courier service since we didn't dropped them but if you are not interested in that no problem. But really i am glad that you are willing to proceed with the rental lease. I have the keys and the apartment documents here with me and I will be shipping it to you through UPS courier service after processing your application form with my attorney, will email you the payment information for you to send the funds

Damage deposit of ($600) must be included with the first month rent . The apartment is available for both long term and short term lease and you will be living alone


Payment will be through wire transfer either Western Union or Money Gram.


Once you agreed to fill the application for me send to you, I will make an arrangement on how to get the apartment keys and documents shipped to you through UPS courier service without any further delay.
But the damages fee is refundable assuming nothing is damage in my apartment after your tenure.

I await your swift response.


$700 / 1br - 800ft² - furnished one bedroom condo (cupertino)

Thanks for your interest in my apt. The apartment is available for
long term/short term and the building is in a great location situated in the quiet and
safe area and offers secure access. internet, cable, laundry in-suite, storage facilities, heat, water, electric and parking is included in the rent and pets are allowed..


I tried to look for an agent that I could give the document & the keys before I left but could not find any as a matter of urgency before i left for Philippines. And I don't want home misused in my absence that is why I took the keys and documents along with me and you would be the only occupant of this unit as renting the apartment and you won' t have no one to share anything with. So I hope you will promise me to take very good care of the apartment always.


Attached are the interior pictures for you and address to have an idea how beautiful and spacious the inside looks, I will like you to get back to me with your final decision after viewing the interior pictures and let me know if you are interested in proceeding with the rental so that I can forward the application form to you.Be free to take a walk by or drive by to check out the outside of the apartment please

Address:
202 Calvert Dr, Cupertino CA 95014

I look forward to hearing from you ASAP.


Regards.
