Hi All,
Please note that Paul Hart - a notorious scammer - is still very active. I just banned a couple of "his" properties he wanted to advertise on one of our websites http://www.short-let-register.co.uk
When a customer contacts him, this guy always asks for a deposit payment via Western Union and states that only after payment is made you can have the keys to his property (which apparently does not belong to him).
He now uses the email [email protected] and his phone number has not changed +447031843889.
Please pay extra attention.
Thanks
Gloria
P.S.: You'll find below an email he wrote to one of our customers in April 2013:
Thanks for your interest in my flat.Viewing is possible if you can meet up with my solicitors requirements.
My solicitor and i had some past bitter experience of booking a viewing and reserving accommodation for tenants without any form of confirmation of their financial ability and not keeping up to time as at when scheduled has made me loss time and money for travelling as I currently work and Live in Bradford(BD1 5DN).
I will not collect any deposit from you not until i take you round my flat and you are satisfied with it, i just need to confirm your financial ability before i can come and i will also need to seek two days off from work because some tenants do not meet up with the appointments which has led to the dismissal of some landlords in office by their employees, I hope you understand this.
Therefore my Solicitor has acknowledge a protocol by which you can confirm your financial ability to me before i can make arrangement for my coming,In this case, a bank-statement wont be accepted as we have had wayward tenants tendering fake documents, also you don\'t need to pay any upfront or reservation yet, all we require is,You transferred at least 1month rent payment(£800) and the security deposit(£800) to your friend,partner or family member living within the UK premises.
