Hello,

Thank you for your interest, I bought this apartment for my son while he was studying, but now he's back home permanently in London UK, so I do. Renting the place for unlimited time Before we go any further, I want to live something about you, like how many persons you intend in the apartment, know what your job is, how old you are and how long you stay. The apartment is exactly equipped fully furnished like the pictures and renovated. Are also very important, the utilities water, electricity, heating, gas, internet, cable, dishwasher, garbage disposal, included in the price of 360 euros per month and I think it is convenient for both of us. All invoices will be paid by me and you just have to pay the money for the rent every month. The deposit is 720 €, and you get it back when the apartment (you have to give me at least 1 month notice) left to decide. You can find my furniture, or you can also make your own if you prefer. I am a neuro-oncology doctor from London - United Kingdom. I can make arrangements to rent the apartment from here quickly and easily. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Best Regards,

Hello,
I want to tell you that if you are willing to go with this transaction, I will need you to inform the steps about how this service works.
Like I said, I will pay delivery time for a 3 days, that the keys and the contract signed by me right away get. I'm going to tell you step by step how this will work:
1 - To start this transaction I will need to know to get your full shipping information, full name, full address with this deal.
2 - I go to the MoneyBookers Office and leave the Keys and the contract in your name as the intended receiver.
3 - Moneybookers checked to see the envelope, if everything is ok with it and also the legal papers that will come along with the key.
4 - Moneybookers will send you a shipping notification to let you know that they have the keys and the papers in their custody, in which you will be told that they have the keys, and that they checked it.
5 - At this point you need your banking site go and a transfer to the bank account of Moneybookers representative for the amount we agreed, the amount you need to deposit € 1,080 (1 month rent and security deposit)
6 - After you have to make the deposit to the info about the deposit Send to Moneybookers.
7 - MoneyBookers will verify the payment information and if everything is in order, it is to deliver the keys and the contract to you.
8 - After you receive the package, please go and check apartment and within 3 days need to contact them and tell them if you keep the home or not, if everything is in order you Moneybookers is to instruct the agent to rid myself.
If you do not like the apt send them your money back and send it the keys and the contract to them to the package back to me on my expense.
I will pay MoneyBookers Service for shipping.
now I have to know for sure if you agree because here interested in a lot of peoples have This apartment can be rented, and I will for sure what I need to know to tell them. If you agree with what I suggested, I will tell them that my apartment is already rented and i will keep it for you. If you agree then i must pay all shipping details so I will be able to make all the arrangements for the MoneyBookers delivery.
Thanks for your interest and wait news from you.


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.

All the details such as names, addresses, pictures etc. that the scammer uses in order to back up his story, are stolen from elsewhere.

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.
