Hi Michelle Banks
It's newly renovated and no tenant in now, i need good and neat tenant's to move in. You can tell me about yourself and the kind of person you would like to share with so as for me to get perfect tenant's to move in.
I would be able to hold the room for you and you can move in upon your arrival on 1st of August. We can meet for viewing on 1st of August. Just let me know the time.
Are you ok with the cost of renting?
Can you show provide evidence that you can afford renting? because i schedule viewing on Friday, when Deborah showed interest in the flat and i sent her the flat details and pictures she proceed and schedule to meet for viewing on Friday, it was after i got down on Friday expecting Deborah but she didn't show up, she sent me an email today, informing me that she will not be able to come for viewing again as she cant afford the cost of renting and she had decide to stay more in the flat she live in.
So i wasted my time and money transporting myself down because of Deborah, so i really don't want this to happen again, i will like to see proof that you have available money for renting and can afford the cost of renting.
Your close relative will to go to western union outlet with cash for a month rent plus security deposit (£600+£600=£1200) transfer it using your name as the receiver at the nearest western union outlet close to you. You will be the one to collect the money when you arrive for the viewing at the nearest Western Union outlet close to the flat and pay me after you have seen the flat and ok with it.
Here is how to go about it:
Sender's Name.......? Should be your brother/sister's name
Receiver's Name.........? Should be your name, so you will be in possession of your money. (The money is safe as it is only you that can withdraw it, since you are the receiver )
Receiver's Address.........? Use London, United Kingdom
Then, you send me the sender's name, receiver's name and the mtcn 10 digit number as a proof of the transaction.
I will have to confirm online with Western Union if the money is available for you. With Western Union Online confirmation link:
http://www.westernunion.co.uk/WUCOMWEB/ ... e=HomePage
I know Western Union office will require some charges for the transaction, but i promise to refund the transaction charges back, when we meet for viewing.
With this i will be sure you can afford and capable of renting the room, then, I will come and meet you for viewing. So after viewing you can pay me in Cash if you like the room and if you dont like it, you can go with your money.
I have had several cases of people we had a deal for viewing and fail to turn up is either they cannot afford the rent or the security deposit required but want me to come down with the aim of renegotiating.
I'm sorry for any inconveniency this might cause but just have to be sure you can afford renting before i can hold the room for you.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Kind regards
Brit
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 or similar money transfer services) 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 ! These money 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.
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, or similar money transfer services 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.
