MR AND MRS DAVID OSBORNE.
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, MoneyGram or bank transfer either to him, his lawyer, 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.
I can reserve my property for you till we meet in London because i will like to let you know that there are some other interested candidates but you are among the top candidates after reading through your last email and i see you sound responsible but note that we will only deal on a first come first serve basis.
If you really want my apartment,you will have to make a deposit of £1600 via WESTERN UNION MONEY TRANSFER or MONEY GRAM MONEY TRANSFER with your name as the sender's name and my name as the receiver's name so that i can reserve my flat for you.
I can send a copy of my ID to you for the purpose of trust if you wish and you can also decide to send the money directly to my bank account or my lawyer's bank account and if you do not feel comfortable sending it to me or my lawyer,you have an option of sending the deposit through western union or money gram money transfer between you and a friend or relative then send the evidence of transfer to me.
After confirmation that the transfer has been truly been done,i will give you the go ahead for the receiver of the money to pick the money but this option of sending to a friend or relative will only work with western union or money gram money transfer so that i can easily confirm the transfer but if you choose to send through bank transfer,it has to be to my bank account or that of my lawyer's so let me know.
Immediately after I confirm from WESTERN UNION or MONEY GRAM that the deposit has truly been sent by you, i can reserve my property for you and shelve aside other interested candidates who may pay the deposit before you if you are not fast enough.
Another reason for these actions is that I had a bitter experience recently in the hands of one so-called interested candidate who made me come down to London claiming he was interested in my property and on getting to London,i waited for him at the meeting spot and the idiot ended up wasting my precious time and money coming to London only for him to call me later on that he was sorry and that he will not be able to rent my flat anymore because the person he was expecting money from disappointed him so i have resolved that anybody interested in my flat must show signs of seriousness by paying the deposit before i travel down to London and
reserve my property for such person.
At the moment,i am still trying to recover from the bitter experience i had recently in the hands of that man so after making the transfer,get back to me with the evidence that you have made the deposit by scanning a copy of the WESTERN UNION,MONEY GRAM MONEY TRANSFER or ELECTRONIC BANK TRANSFER receipt/confirmation or simply send the details via email just in case you do not have access to a scanner and after i have confirmed that the deposit has been truly made by you,we will meet for viewing without delay.
