This person tried to scam me today. They claimed to be British but a few sentences read as if they have been poorly translated, which first made me suspicious. It appears as though [email protected] is the same scammer as [email protected] still using the same template.

prepare a tenancy Agreement Form which you will have to read and understand and if you eventually agree with the contents of the contract, you will have to print it out and sign it and come with a copy on your move-in date.

After our family lawyer might have prepare the Agreement Form, i will
