Hello Con,
Thank you for your response and nice to meet you. Like I have
informed you before, the price you have to pay for one month of rent
will be $920 + $150 deposit. We can start with a basic 1 year
contract with the possibility of renewing it or with the period of
time suitable for you. About the payment, I would like to receive it
monthly into my bank account and I hope there will be no problem for
you to wire the money to it. You only need to receive the keys and
the contract so you could check out the apt, and see if you like it.
Since I'm Paris we need a way to complete this deal that will allow
us to make sure we receive what we are asking for. I have found a way
for us to complete the deal safely that will allow you to pay for the
rent only after you will receive the keys and rental contract, you can
receive them in less than 2 days. The solution is provided by a third
party company called TNT Global Air Express which is similar to FedEx,
DHL or UPS, and will handle the payment and delivery of the Keys.
Through this service you will see the apt and decide if you like it or
not, before sending the payment. Please click on the link bellow to
see how we can complete the deal safely and fast directly from the web
site of the company where this procedure is explained:

Let me know if you are interested,
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.
