How are you doing?

I understand your point that you need to see my flat before you proceed to make any payment or show any commitment.

As for the viewing, It's quite unfortunate that we can't meet this week cos presently i am in Leeds for a conference Which would last for two weeks.If you are really interested in the apartment and you want to proceed, i can have it reserved for you cos i think we are going to get along as knowing each other better.In past times,i had a lots of people contact me about the apartment and end up not turning up, and this really gives me problem because it makes me keep other people asking for the apartment waiting and some of them end up loosing interest for late response.

So i will advice you at this point that you should book down the room in form of reservation.

Let me know your intention so i can tell you how to go about it.

but do not worry cos the pictures i sent to you is exactly how the flat inside look like!!!

But do not worry because i have all the necessary details,lease document including the keys of the flat with me here.Let me know if you are interested before we proceed....

NB:i will like to use this opportunity to inform you that the key and other necessary document is with me here...as soon as you are ready to make the fully reservation and after your reservation has confirm,i will send the key and the payment receipt to you via DHL and it will deliver the same day or latest following day! cos you will come with it and move in to my flat!!!and i will meet you the following week after you have arrive into my apartment!

Hope to read from you back soon!!!

Cheers

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.

Hi,

I was on the verge of signing the lease agreement when I found this site. Since then I stopped all contact, but recently, "Justine" called me. "She" sounded oddly male. I don't know if this helps since you know he is Nigeria, but here is his number: +33234802941043

Subject: Reservation needed

Hello,

Thanks for the mail and much interest in my flat.....

So,i would like to tell you that i have lots of offer at hand but you are really show interest in my apartment and i may have to make my decision soon...

I also like to let you know that you are doing the best thing by looking for accommodation before coming down to.....

Because a lot of people come everyday and they end up having nowhere to stay because they fail to seek for themselves accommodation before coming down.

So i will advice you to book down the flat in form of reservation..

To go about this..You will have to get back to me with the following details..

1 Full name
2 Current address
3 phone number
4 Move in date
5 Move out date

I need this information's forward to my Lawyer to prepare the tenancy contract Agreement form,so i can send it to you,for you to go through the terms and conditions regards living in my apartment.

Regard the rent, a month rent and security deposit 'll be pay in advance before your arrival date,so that i 'll be positive and sure about your rent but before that, I'll need to prepare the lease agreement contract for you to go through it in order to know the terms and rules regard in living in my apartment.

About myself – young professional girl, I work in the city as a professional Marketing and Public Relations and have a fairly active social life; that said I also enjoy staying in and chilling out in front of the T.V. watching a game of rugby (I like watching most sports although I tend to shy away from football) or a film and travel a lot due to nature of my job… anything really.

I like cooking (in fact I'm a mean cook and it would probably be a huge injustice if I didn't make dinner for you on occasion), I enjoy having my friends round (at respectful hours) and while I'm keen to make new friends I don't need to live in anyone's pocket - I enjoy my 'alone time just as much as anyone else'!

Let me know if you are interested Asap so that i can book your reservation.

I will be waiting to read from you soonest,

Cheers
