Hi Michelle

Thanks for calling and also for getting back soon with the reassurance that you are going to take good care of the place in my absence and I am very sorry for getting back to you late...I am really looking forward to having you as my tenant as your response is very much encouraging...Before we proceed though,there are some conditions and rules and I will like us to decide on and it just requires your consent and afterwards we can proceed with the contract and for me to reserve the room you so you can move in as soon as you want to,I will need you to get back to me as soon as you can.

1.You shall sign a document confirming that the room has been reserved for you

2. You shall make your first month rent payment (800AUD) and security deposit (600AUD) to me.

3. You shall have to read the agreement contract which i shall send to you firstly as an attached mail before you make your payment. For the document to be prepared successfully,I would be needing the following details:

(1) Your Full Name

(2) Occupation.

(3) How old are you?

(4) Sex male

(5) Married? No

(6) Your move in and out date;

(7) The total months you will like to stay in my apartment

(8) Reason for Relocating

(9) Any police problem

(10) A you will be picking up the keys at the airport, So I will need you to send me some Identification that I will have to send to them at the airport so that there won;t be any delay as soon as you get there..YOU WILL GET THE KEYS DELIVERED TO YOU..IT COMES IN A PARCEL AND YOU WILL HAVE IT AFTER THEY MIGHT HAVE VERIFIED YOUR IDENTITY AND I MIGHT HAVE CONFIRMED YOUR RENT AND SECURITY DEPOSIT PAYMENT

As soon as you provide this, we will need to proceed with the next step of the documentation by making his rent payment.i know that he will really enjoy my apartment.Thank you for your interest and effort.

I hope you are aware that the Refundable bond is still your money which you will be getting back anytime you intend vacating my apartment, mine is just the rent.

Hi Michelle,

Thanks for the information and for your response as a very reliable tenant to be...Regarding viewing, I want you to know Am so sorry that it wouldn't be possible for you to view the apartment because am not around at the moment am in UK on work bases and it will take a while before I come back. And there is no one to leave keys with that why i deposited it at post office and i want you to no the apartment is as you see it in the pictures and you will not regret that you rented my apartment. Getting the keys is very simple and easier as you do not have to worry about that as the apartment still remains AUD200 for the whole apartment per week...I am also assuring you that the pictures you see on site is what you will be getting..To begin the process of the tenancy agreement is not a problem at all.. So please get back to me if you will still like to proceed for me to know if I should send the contract so as for you to get it signed as I have already signed it so that we can both sign the contract agreement and move further. you can also contact my number again +447024040973 so that we can talk on phone for more verification again

Regards.

The thief will tell you that you can rent his accommodation only if you can prove that you have genuine interest. He will ask you send money by a Money Transfer Service to yourself or a member of the family to show that you have sufficient finances and that you are not a "time waster".

Another variation of this scam is that you need to send money in order that the keys and other documents can be couriered to you

He will ask you to send him the transfer details.

Make no mistake ! These transfers can be picked up virtually anywhere in the world and with the minimum of identification. They are almost impossible to trace once the money has been collected. You will never get to see the accommodation or your money 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 Gumtree or similar listing sites. If you receive any requests from 'Landlords' asking for some kind of payment by Western Union or other Money Transfer Services 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.

Hello,

I am really very sorry for replying late. How are you doing over there?.The attached to this mail is the Tenancy Agreement and Contract Lease, so i would like you to read through and send it back to me after signing it.So you have nothing to worry about as soon as the half payment is received the keys will be delivered.

You are to SCAN, sign and email me the lease agreement So that you can proceed with the next process by making your rent payment immediately.THE KEYS COMES IN A PARCEL AND WILL BE GIVEN TO YOU.

So as soon as you sign the lease, So I will want you to proceed to the next step by making your payment immediately. You will send the security deposit which is AUD600 and the First Month rent AUD800 .So you will be sending the one month rent fee with the bond making a total of (AUD1400) to hold the house for you and be rest assured the house is yours. You will make the payment through Western union money transfer as I don't want to give you much stress on making payment..Hope you understand that?..You don't have to stress yourself in making the payment as sending it via western union is very simple. You are to take cash to any Western union location near you along with the information where you will be sending the money...As soon as you get there, Pick up a teller, get it filled and you will be directed on how to send it..

HERE IS THE WESTERN UNION INFORMATION WHERE YOU WILL BE MAKING PAYMENT.

Nicholas Thomas
200 Manchester Road, Tyldesley,
Manchester, Lancashire, M29 8NN
United Kingdom

As soon as you send the me the transfer details, i will make arrangement for the delivery of the keys ASAP.

Get back to me with the following after you have sent the payment...

1. SENDER'S NAME AND ADDRESS. (If you send it yourself, it means your full names and address used in sending it.)

2. AMOUNT SENT

3. MTCN# ...... ( 10 DIGIT NUMBERS).

Please make sure you don't do the payment online, just go to the nearest Western union Outlet beside you as i don't want to stress you in sending the money, pick up a teller and fill it, after filling it, you will give it back to them including the money, you will have to add some fees to the money for the western union charges..but the charges is not so that much. It will just be used in sending the money.

A receipt of payment will be issued for you after the confirmation of your payment. I hope you are aware that the deposit is still your money which you will be getting back anytime you intend vacating my apartment, mine is just the rent.
