Thank you.
I have attach some documents of the apartment for additional information with my identification document. Like I have informed you before all utilities are included in the rent price, you will have access to all facilities provide by the building. The utility bills are paid directly from my bank account. The price will not increase monthly, it will remain the same for the whole period that the contact will be signed for. We can start with 6 months rental contract with the possibility of renewing it or with the period of time suitable for you.
The price you shall pay for one month of rent will be € 510,00, plus the security deposit € 510,00 so the total will be € 1.020,00. After that the rent will be € 510,00 every month.
The security deposit if you want can be used to pay the last month of rent or in the situation if you don't have money, will be used as payment for the current month, with your prior confirmation or refundable at the end of the contract.
Since I'm in London, United Kingdom we need a way to complete this deal that will allow us to make sure we receive what we are asking for. I have found a way for us to complete the deal safely and fast, and in this way you will receive the apartment keys in less than 2 days. The solution is provided by a company called PayPrimo which will handle the payment and delivery of the apartment keys.
This procedure that will allows you to pay for the rent of the apartment only after you will receive the keys, and through this way you will see it and decide if you like it or not. Please click on the link bellow to see how we can complete the deal safely and fast directly from the web site of the company where this procedure is explained: https://www.payprimo.com/HowEscrowWorks ... Works.aspx
Let me know if you are interested, because I really need to take care of this matter as soon as posible.
Best Regards.
This person asks for a deposit payment via Western Union or MoneyGram to an escrow company with a promise that he will send the keys through a courier company.
Sounds safe. It's not!
These companies do not work this way.
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.
This ID is used to help back up the scammer's claims. It does not belong to the scammer and the person pictured is not involved in this scam.
