Thank you for your interest in my apartment located in 25 Telegram Mews, Toronto, ON, Canada. The apartment is in excellent condition and it's just like in the pictures, very clean and very well taken. Honestly from point of view I'm sure that you will rent it on spot. I'm not looking to make a business or a profit with the apartment, I'm just trying to find a good and trust person to take good care of the place. The apartment has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. It is furnished but if you want you can use your furniture and deposit mine in the storage unit that is located near the building not far away. The rent is 1240CAD/month with everything included (heat, hydro, water, electricity, cable and internet, 2 parking spots, laundry in-suite, washer and dryer). You will have full access to all the amenities of the building. Pets are allowed. I stayed in the apartment with my wife for 3 months. I'm a civil engineer and I work for a company that has an auction for a project in construction in London, United Kingdom, so my accommodation period in England will be about 4 years. Everything in the apartment is new so there will be no need for repairs. The only problem is that I need to send you the keys and papers because it is a private property and I'm sure we can make this happen.
Needless to say this seemed amazing but we were wary that this might be a scammer and asked how the transaction would proceed and got this reply:

Hello,
Thank you for your reply. As I told you before the rent for 1 month will be 1240CAD with no extra fees and you will have full access to all the amenities of the building. The price will not increase for the whole period that you will stay there. I would also like to know how many people will live in the apartment and also which rental contract do you prefer- 6 months rental contract with option of renewal or 1 year rental contract with option of renewal. The monthly payments can be wired to my Bank Account (TD Bank) or we can setup a payment method that is suitable for both of us. The apartment is in excellent condition, you only need to receive the keys and the contract so you could check it out, and see if you like it. Since at this moment I'm in London, United Kingdom and obviously we need a safe way to complete this deal.The solution is a worldwide third party company called INTERLINK EXPRESS (http://www.interlinkexpress.com) ,they will provide assistance in handling the payment and delivery of the rental package. With this procedure you will be able to check the apartment before I receive the payment. Please be aware that is NOT necessary for you to register with Interlink Express given that I'm a registered user for 4 years and I've made over 30 transactions with them so far. They are really professional and they have great services.
My phone number is +442081448459 (if you are calling from Canada or United States you need to dial 011-44-20-81448459). You can call me or e-mail any time you wish.
Let me know if you are interested so I can provide with all the steps of this transaction, everything that you ][/ineed to know about this process before we get this started. I think is right for both of us.
Thank you and hope to hear from you soon!
This still didn't ring true as I know that gmail & hotmail addresses are free and you can have as many as you want then close them just as quickly, so we searched for this name or the lady who sent the original email on his behalf but didn't find anything, so we searched for the number and it seemed to located directly in Trafalgar Square London UK. My family & I come from central London and know that there is no way a Landline would be coming from there and this was not a cell phone number either. Searched again for the number with international dialling code and found this site and the "Con Warner" rental letters and found these letters were almost word for word identical.....such a shame....the apartment was a dream.....but our money is safe thanks to this site.....so thanks Scamwarner from my family & I ....we now have to set our sites lower and the search continues.....
