Hello,
Sorry for the delayed response, but I'm in London (United Kingdom) right
now and I have been very busy. Anyway,thank you for your interest in
renting my apartment. The total price of the apartment is 250,00 EUR (the
price is not including the utilities cost) . I want to keep the apartment
for me but I left with my work for a 5 years contract in United Kingdom, so
I decided to rent it. The apartment,is in perfect conditions, no need
additional repairs what so ever.
So if you are interested please email me back for next step.
Regards !!
This person asks for a deposit payment via Western Union or MoneyGram with a promise that you can have the keys to a property that does not belong to him.
Sounds safe. It's not!
At other times, he will ask 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 or MoneyGram payment to a lawyer,a friend or family member.
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.
