Hi again ,

This transaction is not made face to face, this is the whole reason for using Rentmatic, for both of us to be 100% protected. For security and for your peace of mind I had attached an copy of my PASSPORT to see that I am very serious about everything.

Regarding the process, you will only have to deposit to Rentmatic the first month of rent from contract and damage deposit 1190 $ + 1190 $ = 2380 $ CAD so they can proceed with the shipping, and you can receive the rental package (keys and documents). I will pay for a 2 days delivery so you will receive the keys and the contract signed by me right away. I will explain you step by step how this process will work:

1 - To start the process all I need is your full info(full name, address and a cell phone number).
2 - I will go at Rentmatic to deposit the keys and the contract on your name as the intended receiver.
3 - Rentmatic will check the package to see if everything is in order and also the legal papers that will come along with the keys and proof of ownership with their Real Estate Professional Department in London. They will also confirm with the building manager that I'm the legal owner of the apartment I'm renting to you.
4 - Rentmatic will send you a delivery notification to let you know they have the keys and the papers in their custody in which you will also have all the payment instructions to complete the wire transfer to the Rentmatic bank account .
5 - At this point you will have to make a money deposit on the Rentmatic bank account for the amount we agreed, the total amount you shall deposit for the first month of rent ( and damage deposit ) . The payment needs to be sent within 24 hours after you receive the transaction details or else they will charge me an additional fee.
6 - After you make the deposit you will have to send the payment details to Rentmatic .
7 - Rentmatic will verify the transfer and if everything is in order they will start the shipping procedures using UPS or TNT Next Day Shipping Service .

8 - After you receive the package, you will go and check the apartment and in 5 days (inspection time) you must contact Rentmatic to inform them if you keep the apt or not and if everything is in order you will instruct Rentmatic to send me the information about the money deposit and I will be able to receive the funds. If you don`t like the apartment they will be sending the money back to you and you will send back the keys and contract. Rentmatic can't release the funds without your approval.

Let me know if you have the funds available (2380 CAD$) so we can move forward and e-mail me your full information I requested. Any further questions regarding the transaction you can call or e-mail me.


Thanks
David

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.

The scammer is abusing a Canadian passport with the number QF674456

Scammers such as this one usually ask for more money due to a problem.
Do not be tempted to pay in the hope that all will be resolved... It never will!

We want to inform you that we received your deposit and that the shipping is already made. The problem is that our computers registered you with an amount of CAD 2,600$

So you are registered in our DATA BASE with an amount of 2,600$ and the single option is to make an another transfer of 1,300$. But no problem (the shipping is made ) and you will receive the rental package and this second amount (1,300 $ ) in maximum 24 hours.

In order to solve this issue , you must make an other MoneyGram transfer of CAD 1,300 $ and send us the scanned receipt of the transfer to [email protected].

PLEASE MAKE THE DEPOSIT TO USING MONEYGRAM TO OUR PAYMENTS REPRESENTATIVE:

Peter Keech
5 Field Court
London, WC1R 5EF
United Kingdom

This decision was taken by our General Manager who knows about this situation and the second deposit is the only solution. We can't cancel the transaction because you are registered with the amount of 2,600 CAD, and this would mean to refund you that amount.

IMPORTANT : WE WILL REFUND YOU THE MONEY IN 24 hours - you have to make this final transfer just to release , to start this transaction (in our computers your transaction is in pending ) . Also we will give you 50$ for the wire transfer fees , so you will receive 1,350 $ back plus the rental package in maximum 24 hours .

Also you will receive the rental package tomorrow afternoon if you make the payment in next hours .
One more time we repeat that we will refund this final transfer including wire fees in maximum 24 hours .

Sorry for this inconvenience but we assure you that you will have the rental packagetomorrow afternoon if you make the payment in next hours .

PLEASE FIND ATTACHED THE ACKNOWLEDGED RECEIPT SIGNED BY OUR GENERAL MANAGER.
