Subject: RE: Private Property Listing Enquiry: Your Property Sandton, Unit 54 Sandhurst Towers, 13 Fredman Dr, Sandton 2196 Ref RR530497
Hi ,
I confirm that the property located on ( Fredman Dr, Sandton 2196, South Africa ) is available for lease for R4500 p/m including all utilities (internet,electricity and water) for as long as you need. Amazing, newly renovated apartment available for rent, you will find a dishwasher,a refrigerator, a freezer, a washing machine , a dryer,a niron ,a noven,a toaster ,a coffee maker ,vacuum cleaner , a big screen TV,cable TV with the basic access, ADSL internet and Wi-Fi access. Also the apartment is near the public transportation , a gym,and other facilities .
There are no problems if you have any pets, as long as you cleanup after them . I am not interested to make a lot of money from the rental, I am interested to find a tenant that will take goof care of the property until my return ( Minimum lease period 3 months). The two months upfront payment is the total of R9000.The minimum period of time that you have to stay in the apartment in 3 months. I'm not planing to come back to South Africa due to health problems and my new job, until end of next year! Because i had to move to United Kingdom so soon I didn't had time to find a trust worthy agent,don't have any friends in the area to send the keys .I found an alternate solution in order to close the transaction safe for the both of us , it is an international delivery solution called MoneyBookers
The MoneyBookers Company is similar to FedEx or UPS, they will provide assistance in handling the payment and delivery of the Keys and Lease Agreement . With this procedure you will be able o check the apartment before I receive the payment . I have 2 more persons interested in renting the apartment so please send me your full name and address ASAP if you are ready to rent my apartment. The first person that will send me the details for the lease agreement will be the new tenant .
Thank you for your interest and I will wait news from you.

This person asks for a deposit payment via Western Union or MoneyGram to an escrow company with a promise that he will send the keys through a courier company.
Sounds safe. It's not!
These companies do not work this way.
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.
Here is a copy of the invoice that I have received in my email address from them.
Please reply me to know when you will be able to make the deposit so they can proceed with the shipping.The amount you must deposit is R9000(This amount will be for two months upfront payment) , to their agent name , using WesternUnion service , you will find all the information in the invoice .
I will wait your confirmation after the deposit will be completed!
