Good afternoon,

Please forgive me for my late replied my computer as been acting up all day. However, I did get your response concerning the advert i posted on Craigslist and the apartment is still available for rent but presently i am out of town, I did bid for a portion of petroleum land three months ago in Manchester City, United Kingdom and fortunately i won the bidding so i have to move down to Manchester City, United Kingdom to have my company set up because i will still have to rebid for it in the next 5 years. I came over here with my wife and my daughter and as soon as we settle down here i had a thought of selling the place but later my wife advised against it she said we may not be able to win the bidding next time in other to keep our head when we return that we have to keep the place and i reasoned with her and accepted her advise. Later we decided to have the place rented out and if you notice you will discovered that the price we are offering is far below standard renting price this is enough for you to know that we are not after the rental fee but the absolute care for our property and i know there is no way i can be sure that you are the right person to live in our place because we won't be able to meet in physical before sending you the keys and the documents to occupy the place But i just had a feeling that anyone who knows what it takes to put the kind of structure down should know that maintaining a building is mandatory, so if you believe you can take good care of the place and handle it like yours then i will be more than happy to let you rent the place.

Monthly Rent: EUR350

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.
