Thanks for the introduction of your self,you really sound great.... never mind i can reserve one bedrooms for you till your arrival date since there is a perfect procedure that we both have to undergo before you can proceed with the payment

So that i can quickly instruct our family lawyer to prepare the tenant agreement form for you, to see the terms and condition of the contract and if
you are okay with the terms and condition then you can proceed with the 1month rent and security deposit to my mother in United Kingdom to My Mother Bank accounts or Via western union money transfer so that the room can be reserve for you till your arrival date because there are alot of people that also have interest in renting the room,but my mother prefer the most serious person who pay her first..

HELLO ,
THIS IS THE RENTAL AGREEMENT FORM WHICH I WILL ADVICE YOU TO READ VERY WELL BECAUSE THIS IS WHAT WILL CONSTITUTE THE BASIS FOR OUR CONTRACT.

AFTER READING THIS AND YOU ARE OKAY WITH THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS THEN YOU CAN PROCEED WITH THE PAYMENT WHICH MUST BE RECEIVE BY MY MOTHER IN LONDON,SO THAT I CAN SECURE THE PLACE FOR YOU TILL YOUR ARRIVAL DATE, BECAUSE I HAVE MANY PEOPLE WHO WANT THIS PLACE ALSO,BUT I PREFER THE MOST SERIOUS PERSON WHO PAYS ME FIRST.YOU NEED TO PAY THE SUM OF 85a0EUROS TO MY MOTHER,SINCE YOU'RE RENTING ONE BEDROOM ,I HAVE SCAN A COPY OF MY PASSPORT TO YOU JUST FOR YOU TO BE SURE THAT YOU'RE DEALING WITH THE RIGHT PERSON.



PLEASE MAKE PAYMENT AVAILABLE TO MY MOM IN LONDON THROUGH HER BELOW INFORMATION NOT LATER THAN 24HRS AFTER YOU RECEIVED THIS AGREEMENT FORM VIA WESTERN UNION MONEY TRANSFER WITH THE FOLLOWING INFO:

MRS.CORNFORD KRISTINA JONES
65,GREAT DOVER STREET,
SOUTHWARK,LONDON SE1 9EF
UNITED KINGDOM

LET ME HAVE THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION AFTER SENDING THE PAYMENT:
1..MTCN NUMBER,
2.EXACT AMOUNT SENT IN GBP OR EUROS,
3.SENDER NAME AND ADDRESS


LET ME HEAR FROM YOU ASAP AND HOPE TO SEE YOU SOON
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.
