Subject: LEASE RENTAL AGREEMENT CONTRACT
To: Michelle Banks
Hi,
Here is the lease agreement contract attached. western union will be
ok for the transfer, it fast and easy to use, you will have to make
the transfer of the payment (a month and caution fee) to me
immediately and get back with the scan copy of the receipt of the
payment along with a sign version of the contract from you, you will
have to go to the nearest western union close to you with cash
together with my name and address, when you get there, just tell them
you are making a transfer to your friends in England, cos western
union is basically in making transfer to family and friends so they
charge cheaper for that, so that the transfer charges can be more
cheaper for you, and let me know the amount you are charge for the
transfer so i can deduct it from the subsequent rent you will be
paying next.
Here is my details you will need at the western union for the transfer.
Name Ricardo Alfredo Castellanos Guillén
Address 82 The Calls, Leeds, West Yorkshire LS2 7EW, United Kingdom
I will be waiting for the sign version of the contract from you
together with a scan copy of receipt of payment, so I can get the flat
keys posted immediately and it can arrive at your doorstep the next
day at same time it was post here.
Thanks
Retel
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.
