Objet : RE: New reply to your post: Beautiful, newly renovated
So good to read from you regarding to my apartment for rent, which is still vacant before i left for Spain with my teaching career.
I & my Fiancé have decided to lease out the apartment because we need a good tenant who will take good care of the maintenance & cleanliness of the apartment while we are abroad. If you notice, you will discovered that the price we are offering is far below standard price, this is enough for you to know that we are not after the rental fee but the maintenance..
I know there is no way I can be sure that you are the right person to live in the apartment because we won't be able to see physical before sending you the keys and the documents to occupy the flat but i just had a feeling that anyone who knows what it takes to put this kind of structure down, should know that maintaining an apartment is mandatory, so if you belief you can take good care of the apartment and handle it like yours then I will be more than happy to let you rent the flat.
The apartment comprises of 2bedrooms with separate kitchen, All queen size bed in the bedrooms, All kinds of electronics are available in the apartment, including a PlayStation3 video Game. All kitchen utilities are available including washer & dryer.
The exact address of the apartment is Wilhelmstraße 57,10117 Berlin, Germany??? and the rental is €500 monthly.
There is a parking space available. I await your response.
Regards

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.
