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.

Hello thanks for the reply and interest in my flat.

The room becoming available from NOW, hence we can negotiate the
actual moving in date.

We have also have a cleaner, which is coming to the flat ever 14 days
for the communal areas and your room on request to avoid any issues
normally arising from a shared flat situation.

Throughout the house there is 24/7 unlimited wireless Internet
provision, which also provides access to a large movie collection
database for your pleasure.

I am currently in London to visit my sister who is seriously sick and
I would be spending some days here with her to take care of her kid
but I will be moving back to Rome before your arrival and after you
sign a contract with me and make the advance payment for the
reservation of the room. The ROOM is suitable for both SINGLE and
COUPLES occupancy (meaning the room can also be offered to any room
sharer or couples).

My flat is Located within the Rome Council area, in friendly,
residential, quite and safe neighbourhood with excellent transport
options to the nearest tube station.


TUBE STATIONS and BUS STOPS:

3-5min walking distance to nearest tube station.
8-10min walk to the University area

There are night buses (36 & 6) and also a reliable mini-cab service
right up the street too.

In Italy, A contract must be involved between the Tenant and the
Landlord which the Tenant must sign a contract and pay a One month
rent and Security Deposit to the Landlord before moving into the
Apartment.

A little about myself: Am 24 yrs old Professional from Italy with a
degree holder in Business administration. Am cool,
clean,honest,Trustworthy,down to earth with a good sense of humor.
Just through through with my Education there few months ago before
moving to my Dad apartment here.

I do like Reading, Cooking, Swimming, Camping, Fishing and Meeting
important people.

I am currently in London to visit my sister who is seriously sick and

My late Father owns the apartment but was inherited to me after his
death few years ago which It has been changed to mine now and I have
the certificate with me and I have planned to move in, start living
and working here in Rome after my Education.

A contract would be involved in this in which we both have to sign.

your passport or I.D card) as i would be needing this in preparing the

Hello,

I understand that the Western Union charges is much but It is not a
problem for me if you deduct it from the money you are sending. I
would like to put you thought how to make the payment.

All you need to do is to go to the nearest Western Union office to
make the payment of the refundable deposit and Two weeks rental fee in
advance all total of (800EUR) to my name and address. I am currently
in London to visit my sister who is seriously sick and I would be
spending some days here with her to take care of her kid. I think I
have told you that already. I will be leaving London for Rome soon and
I will be in the apartment before your arrival. I will need your
arrival details so as to pick you up from the Airport and take you
straight to the Apartment. The payment has to be made so that I can
securely reserve the room for you till your arrival. Here is the
address:

3 SIGN AND RECEIVE YOUR RECEIPT
You will be required to sign a receipt after you have verified that
all the details printed on the receipt are correct. One of the
details printed on the receipt is your Money Transfer Control Number
(MTCN). The MTCN is important and must only be disclosed to your
intended recipient.

It is time to contact me (The Receiver) (or beneficiary) of the money,
and relay the necessary information to me, such as the MTCN, your

and the country the money was sent from.

After you make the payment you would get back to me with the necessary

Union doesn't allow you to send through EUR or any other currencies.
