This website: http://www.londonbaseapartment.com/index.html provides imaginary apartments in London, along with an imaginary driver to get you from airport. They ask for an advance payment of deposit (like you could brake anything when you're not there yet) through Western Union. Obviously once the money get to them no one answers any mails or telephones. The firm they claim to represent on the website, Apartment Rentals UK Limited is dissolved since 2007, I looked it up. The other one, Mania Estates Ltd doesn't even exist. The only real person around is probably Kim Howells, "the owner", because I assume that to get the money from Western Union you need an ID. I hope they won't find any other "customers"..
Take care.

Hi Wingardium, I have made a post about the fake property rental site on our sister forum at www.419eater.com here:

http://forum.419eater.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1233636

The site will be added to the fake banks database on www.aa419.org and then someone will send an abuse notification to the webhosts, to hopefully have the site closed down.

Remember, if it seems to good to be true, then it is.

Hi Wingardium, I'll be the one sending the report. Can I get the scam email this site was used in, preferably with headers? The more evidence there is, the faster this site will be taken down. :)
