Hi ,

Thank you for your interest in my apartment. Maybe I have a shot time
to write this but I will try to give you a complete detail of the
apartment. We where trying to open a real estate branch in Australia
at the time I secured this apartment. I was really afraid to give the
studio out to a destructive person. I work with k- stays realties see
(kstays.com). We are trying to establish a new rental branch in
Ontario, Canada now so my apartment will be open for 2 years starting
now as I am away.


The utility bills are included in the monthly rent of 1,200AUD, they
are the wireless Internet, TV, Electricity, Heating. The washer and
dryer are right inside the apartment, the AC is three hors-powers. For
all of these, we are only asking for 2 month deposit of 1,200AUD per
month, which is for the first and last month and a refundable
security deposit of 400AUD.

The address is : ((627/45 Victoria Parade, Collingwood VIC 3066
AUSTRALIA).).

The apartment has charming on-sight beams and finely selected
furnishings, this 720sq.mt one bed room apartment offers a refined
ambience with a true charm. The front door opens up directly into the
day area, welcoming guests into a spacious living room with large
windows and furnished with double sofa bed, a flat screen TV, and a
rectangular glass-top dining table which extends into a round table to
comfortable sit up to 6 dinner guests. A leather screen hides the
opening to the niche where the modern and fully equipped separate
kitchen is, complete with all necessities including a dishwasher and a
combo micro-oven.

The sleeping area offers a bright and spacious double bedroom
furnished with a charming chest of drawers by a small leather
armchair matching the leather bed frame. Two doors in the room hide
two further areas: the walk-in closet, large and well lit and complete
with a washer-dryer; and the en-suite bathroom, fitted with a large
stall shower, washbasin, bidet and toilet. The apartment key is right
here with me. I already said as much as I can right now and would need
to know if you are fine with my total rent.

I like to know more about you and the kind of person you are, I like
to know your present location, I would like to know if you are a
student or if you work then what is your occupation. If you do
business then what kind of business do you deal on? You can also call
me on my phone at any time of the day, I will be glad if you try.

Thanks,

Mary.

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.C
