>> I resided in this apartment with my family, I lived in it for over 4 years, loved every day of it, until 3 months ago when I got the opportunity to open a franchise ( a small business ) in Seattle,Washington. We've tried to develop a family business, but unfortunately the things didn't work the way we've expected and now I am at one step from losing my market.
>> I had all my family moved here, I like it there but I think it's a better market here in Washington, I want to start a new life, in 4/5 years I will decide if I will keep it, and get back in town or if I will sell it and live here forever, you never know!

>> This is the second time I tried to rent the apartment, I had a deal with somebody before, he said he will rent it if I come back... So I got a train ticket, and guess what!? When I arrived there, he didn't show up and after 2 days he gave me a call and said that he is sorry but he can't rent it anymore, because he has no money.
>> It was unfortunate that my past bitter experience of inviting people to come and view my flat without any form of confirmation of their financial ability and not keeping up to time as at when scheduled, has brought about great loss to me.
>> So don't get me wrong and don't take it personally, but now I don't want to buy another ticket to come and fall for it once more... maybe you won't show up. I'm sick of tire-kickers, people who are just looking around and not serious about renting, so please don't waste my time... No offence!

The thief will tell you that you can rent his accommodation only if you can prove that you have genuine interest. He will ask you send money by wire transfer (normally Western Union) to yourself or a member of the family to show that you have sufficient finances and that you are not a "time waster".
Another variation of this scam is that you need to send (by Western Union) money in order that the keys and other documents can be couriered to you
He will ask you to send him the transfer details.
Make no mistake ! Western Union Transfers can be picked up virtually anywhere in the world and with the minimum of identification. They are almost impossible to trace once the money has been collected. You will never get to see the accommodation or your money again.
