Subject: RE: Request for your Offer at Starflats.co.uk
Thanks for getting back to me. I wouldn't want you to get me wrong, am not asking you to pay before the viewing, the idea of making a confirmation of your financial ability is not only my idea, my lawyer and i decided to use that process and i can't violate my lawyer procedure. I am a God fearing woman and i am not after your money. I have my own work and i earn enough money for my family and also to help the less privileged.
However, i didn't want to collect any money from you as long as you have not sign a contract neither have i taken you round my flat. All what is request of you is to transfer the deposit to your self or any of your close relations in UK through the Western Union Post Office, Make your name as the receiver name and may be your close friend or relative name as the sender's name to any address in the UK, i am not asking you to send it to me because it will be improper for me to collect any money from you. Once you've done that, you get back to me with a scan copy of the transfer receipt so that i can forward it to my lawyer to confirm if the transfer is valid and your financial ability, we can finalize with the viewing at once.
After the confirmation might have been made by my lawyer, i will ask you to tell you friend to pick up the money and schedule a convenient day for the viewing. If eventually you don't want to proceed with the rent, i promise to return the cost of the transfer without any deduction.Western Union Post Office is the fast and easiest way to send money. Here is the Western Union Post Office transfer procedure below"
1.Locate the Western Union Post Office around you.
2.Pick up the form of transfer and fill in the details which needs to be filled and return back to the post master. Details needed on the form are {sender name, your friend or relative and address.}{receiver name and address which is your name to any address in UK}
3. Return back to the post master with the cash you are transferring to your partner or friend and wait for the receipt to be returned back to you.
4. Scan the receipt to me and give me a call so i can check it if its truly genuine and available in your friend's custody.
5. After it has been confirmed on the website,then we can proceed for the viewing and you can as well tell your friend or partner to pick up the money. Regarding your question, the flat has a central heating system
Kindly let me know your opinion in time in other to avoid time wasting and hope to hear from you soonest.
Mrs Jemima.
This person asks for a deposit payment via Western Union or MoneyGram to an escrow company with a promise that he will send the keys through a courier company.
Sounds safe. It's not!
The emails claiming to be from the company are fake.
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.
