Oggetto RE: [HalloLondon.co.uk] Posting Enquiry
The 100gbp is for gas,and all bills of the flat.
I work for SBG - Sales Business Germany GmbH and is very
hard for me to come in UK. I can't take the risk to leave my
new job for days and when I arrive in UK to see that I come
for nothing. I want to be 100% sure that when I will meet
you, we do the rent papers then i can come back in Germany.
So i can be sure of that look how we can do:
You make the payment from your name and address to your best
friend name and address in UK using MonyGram for 2 months
rent that means 1200 GBP and send me the scanned receipt. As
soon as I see the scanned receipt that you have made the
payment, I will come in UK and you will see the flat and
maybe rent it. After that, we will go together at the
MonyGram office and you will take the money back and pay
me.So all you h ave to do is to find a MonyGram office and
wire 1200 GBP from your name to your friend name and send
the scanned receipt.I am asking you this to be sure that I
do not come in UK for nothing. Hope you can understand my
situations.
P.S : As I told you,I have a lot of customers interested to
rent the apartment. I will reserve the apartment to the
first one that provides
me the scanned paper from MonyGram. As soon as I have the
confirmation from MonyGram that the money are available on
his name I stop the transactions with all the other
customers.
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.
