Dear Michelle

I can see your willingness in this Apartment and i want you to know that i'm satisfied with your profile and also believe that you can take good care of the apartment. l would not like to experience what l experienced from my last tenant again that is why will hand over every thing by our self and proceed with the keys via UPS to your temporary home address.I will love it if you can hold the keys of the apartment till when you are ready to move in then i will be counting the month rent by then and non of my cloths there,I accept your application form and due to this reason you may go ahead and view the apartment from outside with the address i gave to you in previous email and you seen the pictures of the inside and you cant view the inside the apartment due to the security guiding the apartment and without the keys and the document you will be embarrassed from our security.

I live in United Kingdom presently, I have a job here and moved with my family last Summer. I have a 3 years contract with a very good chance of an extension. Am right now in London presently and the keys to the apartment is with me here so I will only be able to delivery the keys to your temporary home address you fill in the application form via UPS delivery service.

Am willing to rent out the apartment for Long and Short term lease its all depend on how you are willing to stay in my apartment and you will need to sign a contract. Before i proceed further with the contract i will like to make this clear to you that , the apartment is luck for now and you can only view it or move in after you receive the keys via UPS by Overnight Delivery with Tracking #.

You may go ahead and view the apartment from outside with the address i gave to you in previous email and you seen the pictures of the inside and you cant view the inside the apartment due to the security guiding the apartment and without the keys and the document you will be embarrassed from our security.

Dear Michelle

Thanks for getting back to me once again, Kindly go to your Bank and ask for how you can make a Western Union transfer with my details below, they will direct you all the process.

Name.... Klemens Michael
Address.... 70 Marylebone High Street,
City.... London,
Zip Code... W1U 5JL,
Country......United Kingdom

I will be waiting for your response as soon as possible and please kindly clarify the delivery address for the package once again. Once i confirm your deposit transfer i will need to proceed with the keys ASAP.

Best Regards

The thief will tell you that you can rent his accommodation only if you can prove that you have genuine interest. He will ask you send money by wire transfer (normally Western Union) to yourself or a member of the family to show that you have sufficient finances and that you are not a "time waster".

Another variation of this scam is that you need to send (by Western Union) money in order that the keys and other documents can be couriered to you

He will ask you to send him the transfer details.

Make no mistake ! Western Union Transfers can be picked up virtually anywhere in the world and with the minimum of identification. They are almost impossible to trace once the money has been collected. You will never get to see the accommodation or your money 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 Gumtree or similar listing sites. If you receive any requests from 'Landlords' asking for some kind of payment by Western Union 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.
