Although this site is an English speaking site, this response from the scammer is posted as received.
Please do not post any replies to this post in Spanish.
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.

Hola,
Gracias por su interés.
Mi nombre es Benet Daniel y soy el propietario de la vivienda.
Soy de Reino Unido. Me compré un piso en .... España porque he trabajado allí durante 2 años. El apartamento está disponible para alquiler, porque me mudé en Manchester, Reino Unido. Necesito alquilar el lugar porque me quedaré en Reino Unido durante un largo periodo de tiempo. Esta es la razón principal por la que desea alquilar este lugar a una buena persona que se hará cargo de la casa. Usted puede alquilar el apartamento por mínimo 2 meses a 5 años como máximo. El precio será el mismo.
El apartamento es exactamente como en las fotos. El alquiler por 1 mes incluye todos los gastos (agua, luz, internet, aire acondicionado, disposición de desechos, microondas, nevera). Usted puede moverse en un apartamento en el mismo día en que las claves están en tu mano. Tengo las llaves conmigo en Reino Unido, pero esto no es un problema. Me lo organizó todo para que pueda recibir las llaves y el contrato de alquiler en un máximo de 48 horas.
saludos,
