The renting period is from 1 month up to 3 years (the longer the better). The rent for 1 month is SGD850.00 (for the whole apartment, including all utilities) and i just need someone to occupy the apartment while am away.
As a result of this I want to rent it, for this period, at this price and also to find the perfect person for my apartment. I just want to find the proper tenant, someone who will treat and care my apartment like it was his own. The apartment is furnished, but I have the option of sending all my furniture into
storage if you want to bring your own (no extra costs). I'm looking forward to rent it as soon as possible, I need the money and I must do that... I got the opportunity to open a franchise ( a small business ) in London, England. We’ve tried to develop a family business but unfortunately the things didn’t work the way we’ve expected and now I am at one step from losing my market.
What I need to know about you:
1. Your full name
2. Your full address & phone number
3. How old are you
4. Are you married
5. How many people will be living in the house
6. Do you have a pet
7. Do you have a car
8. Occupation
9. I will like to know the exact date you will like to move into the apartment
10. How long do you want to stay in my house
11. Reason for moving out of current home
Please send me an e-mail with the information I requested and I will select a candidate out of the e-mails that I will receive.
Sincerely,
Bullock Adams
This person asks for proof that you are able to pay the deposit and rent (for a property that he does not own) due to a string of time wasters.
This proof is in the form of a Western Union, MoneyGram or bank transfer either to him, his lawyer, your friend or a family member.
Sounds safe. It's not!
At other times, this person asks for a deposit payment via Western Union or Moneygram with the promise that they will send the keys through a courier company.
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.
