Thanks for your prompt response regarding my posted ad, let me take a little time to tell you something about myself, the apartment & its amenities, price and conditions to rent.

About me:

My name is Kroschwald Thorsten Thomas ; I'm a Deutsche Citizen who has being currently working with a Real Estate and Civil Engineering Company in Sweden since 2009. now i'm currently in UK to execute a Kensal Rise, Kensal Green and Queen’s Park Estate contract which could last me six month or probably a year. all i just need is person either student or individual who is ready to maintain the beauty of the apartment Since i am not residing there for now. I left behind some Facilities and electonics and a sony DVD player, air conditioning,alarm system. The kitchen is fully equipped with all necessary cooking utensils, a refrigerator-freezer, four-hob and oven, microwave,dishwasher and washing machine, My System connected with Internet Acess also i will like you to know that the rent charges is not really the issue, but your absolute maintenance of my apartment, because that is the only valuable property i have in Sweden, and it also took me so much time and money to put all those facilities in place.

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.
