Glad to hear from you right now im in Liverpool due to my work,and
thats why i want to rent the flat out for the long period which i have
attach the picture of the apartment, i ll be staying here in
Liverpool, before i can come down to London for the viewing , i have
to be very sure im dealing with the right person.also i will like to
know that i have be treated so bad by those who wanna share my flat
before we can arrange for the viewing,i will like to see a proof from
you.



below are details you need to observe , then we can proceed with the
formalities,



location: Kensington Park Road, LONDON

type: One bedroom apartment

separate door to toilet and kitchen.

maximum privacy,

present number of occupants: none.

rent per week- 150

rent per month- 600pounds with bills and tax

damage deposit of 300 required

required fee to move in 900pounds

Take notice:


1. it has been observed that's some tenants do not have the money to
pay the rent and yet they keep disturbing the the landlord to arrange
a viewing with their friend or relative .i hope you are not one of
them .



2. Also some do not meet up with the viewing appointments which has
led to the dismissal of some landlords in office by there employees.
Therefore,effort has been made by the association that a willing and
serious tenants should be able to make remit of the security deposit
and one month rent to a friends or relative name which a confirmation
will be made on the remit done to check if he or she is capable of
paying the rent before arranging for a viewing or to retain the room
till your arrival and also stop other people from viewing the room..



I'm not asking you to send or remit the money to me, just get the
transfer done to any of your family or friend in the UK ( London )
that can come with you for the viewing, so as to be able to withdraw
the funds and pay me after viewing. Like i said in one of my previous
email, this is a procedure given to us by the Landlord Association due
to past/bad experiences with the other landlords and We've been warned
not to take a bank statement or personal information from anyone,All
you need to do Locate the nearest western union shop around you.



2.Pick up the form of transfer and fill in the details which needs to
be filled and return back to the post master.Details needed on the
form are {sender name;your name and address.}{receiver name and
address} 3.Return back to the post master with the cash you are
transferring to your partner or friend and wait for the receipt to be
returned back to you. 4.Scan the receipt to me and give me a call so
my lawyer can check it if its truly genuine and available in your
friend's custody this will just take 30min to confirm from the
website. 5.After it has been confirmed on the website,then we can
proceed for the viewing.



Get back to me asap because i have and a lot of student who re willing
to rent the room and its based on first come first serve basis and let
me know when you get the transfer done, if you can get the transfer
done now. then we can schedule a viewing today or tmr .



KIND REGARDS


Mr. Donald Hans.



This person asks for proof that you are able to pay the deposit and rent (for a property that he does not own) due to a string of time wasters.
This proof is in the form of a Western Union, MoneyGram or bank transfer either to him, his lawyer, your friend or a family member.

Sounds safe. It's not!

At other times, this person asks for a deposit payment via Western Union or Moneygram with the promise that they will send the keys through a courier company.

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.
