Thank you for your interest.

My name is Paul Sims, let me describe you why this wonderful apartment
should be considered for your next home.

I attached a few pictures ( check out the photos below ), so you can
have a better idea of what it looks like.


I'm the owner, the apartment looks exactly like in the pictures, is
fully furnished, finished with all the high grade finishings, sunny
and very spacious.. when you'll come into this apartment, you're
welcomed by tons of natural light, an open living area and chef's
kitchen, with all facilities/utilities; ( dishwasher, refrigerator,
stove, oven, juice machine, iron, toaster, coffee maker, microwave,
vacuum cleaner, central air, stainless steel appliances ).

NOTE*** I have the option of sending all the furniture into storage
room, if you have your furniture, because I'll contact a removals
company, no extra costs!


Now comes the exciting part!

- You can rent it for short term, can be month to month ( minimum
stay 3 month ) or long term ( maximum stay 6 years ).
- The rent is for the entire apartment, $769/month, all-inclusive; (
gas, water, cable, telephone, electricity, wireless/Internet, 2
parking spaces, in-suite washer/dryer and 1 storage unit to store
extra stuff ).
- The price will not increase monthly, it will remain the same for
the whole period that the contract will be signed for.
- If you have pets, no issue, as long as you'll make clean up after them!


What are you waiting for?!

If you are looking for a great apartment, in an awesome location, this
place may be for you!

Feel free to contact me back and I'll get back to you with the
complete application form.


Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,

Paul & family


This person asks for a deposit payment via Western Union, MoneyGram, pre-paid credit card or bank transfer with a promise that you can have the keys to a property that does not belong to him.

Sounds safe. It's not!

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.

Please contacta moferatorstor if you have a question or information about this post.



Please do not tell the scammer he is posted here.
