Subject: Re: $650 / 1br - cute lower apartment for rent in Berkeley (berkeley)
Hi,
My name is James Zhann,Thanks for the interest regarding my apartment,First i must say that am a very busy man, and i don't stay on internet much, my apartment is still available for rent, but all i want is someone who i can put my Trust on and a God-fearing person, i rented my apartment to Mrs Cameron's Family, i must say am really dissappionted in them, they claim to be very neat and honest, and also they could not afford to pay the rent for 4 month, which is very bad,they lied to me filling out the rental application form, telling me that they were capable of paying the rent, they also damage some of my properties, which has been fixed now.I am looking for a responsible & clean tenant that will be able to take good care of my apartment because I work as Oil Expatriates and I do travel a lot, Presently I am in Kharkhav,Ukraine,for a research and I don't know when I will return back to the apartment that's why am looking for a good tenant who will live in the apartment and take care of it. The apartment is available for long term and short term lease is also accepted.
The apartment Features
ï High Speed Internet
ï In-Suite Laundry
ï Large in-suite storage
ï Cable
Its a spacious and lovely apartment, Utilities are included and Pets are allowed. Kitchen completely equipped, Kettle - Toaster - Dishwasher - Freezer - Microwave - Oven - Dryer - Heat - Water -Washing Machine and Electric.I want you to note that I am a kind and honest man and also I spent a lot on my property that I want to give you for rent, and I would want you to treat it as your own, I would like you to keep it tidy all the time I also want you to let me have trust in you as I always stand on my word,the rental fee per month including utilities for the whole of the apartment.If you really want to rent the property, you will need to fill the rental application form..
KIndly get back to me requesting for the application form if you are really interested in renting my apartment.
This person asks for a deposit payment via Western Union, MoneyGram or bank transfer with a promise that you can have the keys to a property that does not belong to him.
Sounds safe. It's not!
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.
