Subject: RE: CityApartmentRentals - Question/Comment about your ad listing: 18 Spring Garden Ave

Hello,

Good to read from you and i really appreciate your interest in my condo,to tell you a little about myself, my name is Michael Milton, am married and am a professional construction engineer,i work for a construction company while i was in Toronto, ON but recently plans came up for me with the help of the management board of the company, assisted my project of investing in a modern construction company which is a dream come true for me in Manila, Philippines to head as a branch manager so that is why I am putting my stunning 2bedroom 2bathroom condo for rent and before me and my family traveled down here in Manila, Philippines, we could not find a competent property agent to handle the welfare of the condo because we really cherish our property so that was why me and my wife decided to take the keys and the documents along with us but i will make sure that all goes fine.

Address: 18 Spring Garden Ave, Toronto, ON M2N 3G3, Canada
Bathroom (#) 2 bathroom

So we are making an inquiry for responsible tenant to take good care of the condo for us pending the time we will be here.We want to make potential tenant to be comfortable that's why we want to rent out the condo for a monthly rent of $1,000 which includes all the utilities and for either short or long term lease with security deposit of $500 but as you've requested,i can rent a room for you at $500 and what is required is the first month rent and the security deposit which will be refunded to you in full amount after your tenancy that is when you want to move out of the condo and we want some kind of assurance and security for our property because we shall be here for a minimum of 5years and the condo is available immediately for moving In ASAP or at a later date.

If you are interested in taking care of the condo and you can go ahead and get views of how the exterior of the condo and the nice environment is or drive by and kindly get back to me so that i can forward to you interior pictures of the condo to show you how spacious and beautiful the inside is and please kindly fill the rental application form below to proceed further.

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.
