Location:Location-wise, it's super-convenient: you are literally a one minute walk from Camden Town tube. Camden Road on the Overground is also 5 minutes away. Central London (Soho, Marylebone, King's Cross, etc) is all walkable in about half an hour or less. All the delights of Camden (pubs, shops, big Sainsbury's) are virtually on the doorstep. Primrose Hill is also very close by.
Could you tell me a bit about yourself and where you are presently located now?
Will you be able to take good care of my flat like your own?
Are you capable of funding the rent and refundable deposit before moving in?
I have attached some photos of the flat with this email.
Hope to get your response soon.
Kind regards,
Anne.
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.
