Room for Rent and other rental scams

This is a typical rental scammer. He has no apartment for rent. He has placed the ads for the sole purpose of stealing the money of innocent people. While it seems safe to transfer money to yourself, or to a friend or a partner, with the information you provide, the scammer will be able to pick up the money himself, which is exactly what he intends to do.

Subject: procedure to secure the flat till your arrival here in London
To: xxx
Hi Nice to hear back from you.Right now im in Cardiff for my new work. But i can reserve the flat for you till your arrival in London,Only if you are ready to prove your financial capability and seriousness in renting my flat by making a transfer of the security deposit and 1months rent to a friend or to your name as the receiver here in London. through western union which is 500+400=900gbp, because this receipt of the transaction has to be attached to the tenancy agreement form which my lawyer will be preparing in your name and on waiting for you to arrive in London while the flat is secured down for you. because once the transfer is being done i will be sending yo u a copy of the tenancy agreement form in your name as the tenant to the flat and we can seal the agreement and meet you any time you arrive here in London
i have to be very sure im dealing with the right person.also i will like to ask you some few questions before we proceed

How many of you are coming to live in my flat?
Can you take care of my flat as it is?
Can you come along with your identity when you coming for viewing?
How many months do you intend to rent and pay for?
Do you have references in London?
What is your phone number?

All you need to do is locate the nearest western union over there in close to you. Let a friend of yours make the transfer to your name as the receiver here in London and you can be able to pick it up since you will be the receiver of the money here in London.

For example
Sender,s name...A friend or family
Receiver,s name...Your name
Receiver,s address....United Kingdom London

Let a friend of yours in where you are presently to transfer the money to your name here in London and as soon as you arrive here in London and you can pick back the money since you are the receiver here in London.


Write back to me as fast as possible so i can talk to my lawyer that i already found a tenant.
