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.

Thanks for the sincere interest you have in my flat, and we can arrange for a viewing as soon as possible.All bills are included in the rent,i appreciate your sincerity and concern you have over the renting of my flat,because i have so many persons online that are interested in my flat,but they are not trust worthy of their financial ability.So i have to work with care in having a good tenant,i liked the way you expressed your feelings over my flat and i appreciate.I have experienced so many things in the hands of my previous tenants like not meeting up to date as they promised, so i would not want to go through such again.
It is unfortunate that our past bitter experience of inviting people to come and view our flat without any form of confirmation of their financial ability and not keeping up to time as scheduled is no more,it has brought about great loss to us. I have traveled all the way from Ireland to take some interested persons around my flat because that's where i work with Ashcom Systems Ltd and they did not show up. Some outside tenants do not have the money to pay the rent and yet they disturb the landlord to arrange a viewing with their friend or relative who are in london, also some do not meet up with the appointments which has led to the dismissal of some landlords in office by their employees.
However, i wouldn't want to collect any money from you as long as you have not sign a contract neither have i took you round my flat. I would not ask you to send your bank statement. At least 1 Months rent and security deposit which is 300GBP(all bills included) or a deposit of 600GBP which is refundable after your first week stay in my flat, would be required from you to transfer through Western Union post office and the only way i can help you is for you to make a deposit. You can make the transfer with your close relation's or friend's name as a sender and your name as a receiver to your destined address in the UK,
Once you have done this, you can scan the receipt to me, and if you do not have scanner, you may write out the details on the receipt as i will send it to my lawyer to verify on the online website, after verification, then we proceed for reservation/viewing and if our flat is okay for you when you arrive, then you will go and pickup the money back and pay for the rent and also, i will refund back to you the cost of transfer and don't forget all this are to confirm your financial ability and afterwards the viewing will commence immediately.
Kindly let me know your opinion as soon as you get this message.
Hope to read from you soon and my regards to your family.
Best Regards
Mrs susan.

Thanks for getting back to me. I wouldn't want you to get me wrong and i wouldn't want you to pay it into my account cause it will be improper the idea of making a confirmation of your financial ability is not only my idea but that of my lawyer too and I have decided to use this process because i can't violate my lawyer's procedure. I am a God fearing woman and i am not after your money. I have my own work and i earn enough money for me and my family and also to help the less privileged.
However, I will not want to collect any money from you as long as you have not sign a contract neither have i took you round my flat.The only thing required from you is to scan your letter of accommodation and transfer the deposit of 600GBP to yourself or any of your close relations in Uk through the Western Union Post Office, Make your name as the receiver name and may be your close friend or relative's name as the sender's name to your destined address in the UK,am not asking you to send it to me because it will be improper for me to collect any money from you.once you've done that, you get back to me with a scan copy of the transfer receipt so that i can forward it to my lawyer to confirm if the transfer is valid and your financial ability,then we can finalize with the viewing at once.
After the confirmation might have been made by my lawyer, i will ask you to tell your friend to pick up the money and schedule a convenient day for the viewing.After viewing if eventually you don't want to proceed with the rent, be rest asured that i will return the cost of transfer to you without any deduction.Western Union Post Office is the fast and easiest way to send money.Here is the Western Union Post Office transfer procedure below"
1.Locate the Western Union Post Office around you.
2.Pick up the form of transfer and fill in the details which needs to be filled and return back to the post master.Details needed on the form are {sender name;your friend or relative and address.}{receiver name and address which is your name to any address in UK}
3. Return back to the post master with the cash you are transferring to your partner or friend and wait for the receipt to be returned back to you.
4. Scan the receipt to me so i can check it if its truly genuine and available in your friend's custody.
5. After it has been confirmed on the website,then we can proceed for the viewing and you can as well tell your friend or partner to pick up the money.
Kindly let me know your opinion in time in other to avoid time wasting.
Best Regards
Mrs susan.
