Dear Con Warner

Thanks for the interest in my flat, my flat is fully finished and
furnished to a high standard.Below are the things you should know
about my flat.
Rent
The rent is 80 pounds per week bills are inclusive in the rent,such as
Electricity, water,TV license broadband wireless internet and gas.

Security deposit 400pounds

At this point that you want to rent my flat, i have a few questions for you:

1. Can you take good care of my flat?
2. How long do you intend to rent my flat for?
3. Can you provide a reference in Newcastle?
4. Where are you coming from to rent my flat?.

I require answers to my questions before we can proceed with the
reservation processes.

However owing to my past unpleasant experience of inviting intending
tenant to view my flat without confirming if they are actually able
to pay their rent at the right time has caused me a great discomfort
and as such do not want to experience it anymore, because i have to
travel all the way from Scotland to take interested candidate round my
flat. I do hope you understand my point of view. In view of the
previous occurrences, I do not want to collect any money from you as i
have not taken you round my flat and signed your contract with my
lawyer, but my lawyer have strongly advised me to confirm that an
intending tenant can pay for his or her rent as at when due, so before
we can proceed for the viewing, I will like to confirm if you can
afford my rent. All you need to do now is to make a transfer of 2
weeks rent plus security deposit of £400 to your friend or partner
within the UK through western union transfer. The reason for using
western union is that it is faster and my lawyer can easily confirm
the transfer almost immediately she receives the scanned copy of the
transfer receipt or the details of the transfer.


Once you are done with the transfer, get back to me with the scanned
copy of the transfer receipt and if you do not have access to a
scanner you can as-well write out the details on the transfer receipt
as i forward it to my lawyer to confirm if the transfer is valid and
available for pick-up by your friend or partner.Once my lawyer
confirms the transaction valid, i will then ask you to tell your
friend to go and pick up the money for you, then we can immediately
schedule a convenient time for the viewing. I shall refund the cost of
transfer to you when we meet for the viewing. After the viewing, if
you like my flat, you can proceed to signing the contract and then pay
your rent and security deposit to me directly.

I look forward to reading from you soon.

Do not hesitate to ask anymore question.

Best Regards.

Mrs Abiri

This person asks 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 payment to a friend or family member.

Sounds safe. It's not!

At other times, this person asks for a deposit payment via Western Union and they will send the keys through a courier company.

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.

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 Gumtree or similar listing sites. If you receive any requests from 'Landlords' asking for some kind of payment by Western Union 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.
