Welcome to ScamWarners Pammy182. Generally there is nothing they can or want to do with your information. They are trying to appear legitimate by asking questions like that. What they want is a fast turn of cash money from their victims.

They are singly focused.

Please post up the email address this scammer used to contact you. That will help people who are searching using the email address.

Bubbles, former Scamwarners moderator.

Rest in Peace 24 June 2015.

Gone, but never forgotten.

I also posted on gumtree that I was looking for a house to rent and received exactly the same e-mail from someone calling themselves Wales Jones his e-mail address is [email protected]. I also noticed a couple of to good to be true rental listing, looks like gumtree has it share of scammers but would never give up a penny without ever looking at a property. These people are just scum they don`t care who they target. :bondage:

Subject: RE: Interest in Flat

Thanks for the sincere interest you have in my flat and yes you can arrange for a viewing as soon as possible.my flat is not a shared flat,it is for you alone and my flat is located at 111, Gallowgate, Aberdeen , AB25 1BU }. i appreciate your sincerity and concern you have over the renting of my flat,because i have so many candidate online that are interested in my flat,but they are not trust worthy of their financial ability.So i have to work with care in having a good tenant,i liked the way you expressed your feelings over my flat and i appreciate.I fully understand your situation and i would love to make you my tenant.Housing benefit are not accepted and will only be accepted if you stand as a middle man.I have experienced so many things in the hands of them,so i would not want to go through such again and don,t meet up to date as they promise.
It is unfortunate that our past bitter experience of inviting people to come and view our flat or make a reservation without any form of confirmation of their financial ability and not keeping up to time as at when scheduled,it has brought about great loss to us. I have traveled all the way from Ireland to take some interested candidates around our flat because that's where i work with M. Gould (Scunthorpe) Ltd. Some outside tenants do not have the money to pay the rent and yet they disturb the landlord to arrange a viewing with their friend or relative who are here in Aberdeen, also some do not meet up with the appointments which has led to the dismissal of some landlords in office by their employees.
However, i wouldn't want to collect any money from you as long as you have not sign a contract neither have i take you round my flat.we would not ask you to send your bank statement. At least 1 Month rent and security deposit which is 350GBP(all bills included) or a deposit of 650GBP which is refundable after your first week stay in my flat, would be required from you to transfer through Western Union post office and the only way i can help you is for you to make a deposit of one month because of your previous condition. You can make the transfer with your close relation's or friend's name as a sender and your name as a receiver to your destined address in UK.
Once you have done this, you can scan the receipt to us, and if you do not have scanner, you may write out the details on the receipt as we will send it to our lawyer to verify on the online website, after verification, then we proceed for reservation/viewing and our flat is okay for you when you arrive, then you will go and pickup the money back and pay for the rent and also, i will refund back to you the cost of transfer and don,t forget all this are to confirm your financial ability and finalizing of the viewing will be done immediately.
Kindly let me know your opinion as soonest as you get this message. At this stage that you are interested in my flat.

Hope to hear from you soonest and my greetings to your family.

Best Regards
Mr/Mrs Richard



My reply: hello,

Sorry I am not interested in your flat as this is an unorthodox method of collecting deposit and paying for rent.
