Hi All,
I think I found another rental scam which I was "lucky" to follow, but stopped on time (before processing the money).
See his first e-mail to me:

Thanks for your swift response regarding my property, the home is currently vacant and it is available for move in.
It has a very large bedrooms with spacious in built wardrobe , living room with dining area, bathroom, dishwasher, washing machine and clothes dryer. The home comes with two parking spots, a storage unit where you can deposit my furniture (if you don't like it and you want use your furniture).
The apartment looks exactly the pictures, fully furnished and renovated. I bought this apartment for my daughter during her studies practice in Oman, but now she's back home permanently, so I'm renting the place for unlimited time.
Now, a little bit about myself so we can get to know each other better. My name is Daniel Deldens and I'm a 58 years old graphic designer from London /United Kingdom, planning to retire in the next 2 years.
I have a lovely wife,Sarah and a 25 year old daughter, Maria. I am very proud to say that soon I'm going to be a grandfather . Another member of our family is a 8 year old Labrador which we all love, so, I have no problem if you will keep pets.
The only inconvenience is that my job doesn't allow me to leave London even for one single day.
But this won't affect you at all. I can make arrangements to rent the apartment from London (on my expense of course).
Looking forward to hear from you soon.
All the best from United Kingdom![/i]
Followed by instructions:
Hi,
After analyzing all the applications together with my wife, we decided that you would be suitable to rent our apartment.
I want to inform you that TNT will hold the money until you will confirm to them that you like the apt and keep the keys. If you don't like it, you only have to return the keys to them after they will refund the money to you.
I will explain to you step by step how this will work:
1 - To start this transaction i will need to know your full shipping information, full name, full shipping address to proceed with this deal .
2 - I will go to the TNT Company office to drop off the keys and documents of the house, along with the rental contract.
3 - TNT will check the documents to make sure I am the actual owner of the flat, then, they will send you an invoice.
4 - After the rental company send you the invoice, you’ll have to pay the money for the first month and the security month to TNT Company, according to the instructions from the invoice. This will be a guarantee that they don’t send an agent all the way to your country for a joke. The deposit will be just a formality, and it will not commit you to renting the apartment.
The money will remain in the custody of TNT Rental Company until you have checked the flat and confirmed that everything is good.
After you pay the deposit, and send them the details, TNT Company will send an agent to your country in the next 24-48 hours (Monday to Friday) and will delivery you the keys at your house door and then you will go with him at the apartment to inspect it.
You can also decide which date and time will fit your schedule best for the inspection.
5 – If you will be satisfied with the flat, you will sign a copy of the contract. However, if you are not pleased with the apartment for any reason, the TNT Rental Company agent will give you the money back on the spot, and I will get my keys and documents back.
I will pay for the services of the agency, so there will be no extra costs for you.
Also, in case you have another apartment right now, and you cannot move out immediately, we can make the deal as I explained it now, and consider it only an inspection and reservation.
If you want to begin, please give me the details which I requested above, so I can make the arrangements.
I am waiting for your quick response, because there are several others interested in the apartment, and I need to know if I can count on a deal with you.
Thank you,
AND just before the payment I received this notification from:
