Hello,
My name is Paul burkitt. I'm a project manager in civil engineering. I just moved in United-Kingdom because my company has won an auction for a big construction project.

I will tell you from the beginning that I don't have a problem if you are a student or if you would like to keep pets there, as long as you clean up after them. The minimum lease is available for Long and also Short Term Lease, very important, the utilities are included in the price per month .

Rent: $600 (Monthly)
Damages fee: $300
Date Available: Asap
Address: 11 Jay Street, New York NY 10013
Type : Apartment
Size: 900

I'm 48 years old and as I told you, I'm a project manager and my job even if is paid very well, requires that I move a lot and without notice. You can move in the Apartment in the same day that you will receive the keys. The only problem is that I'm already in United-Kingdom because we started the work, but you don't need to worry because I've made all arrangements to rent the Apartment from here. i would like to know a little something about you.

This person asks for a deposit payment via Western Union, MoneyGram or bank transfer 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.
