Hi Natalia,
Thank you for all the info. The apartment has 70 m2. Yes it is better in the last week of May.
The solution to view and rent the apartment is to meet with me so I am ready to come in Italy.
The problem is that I requests payment for the deposit month and a security deposit in advance to be sure that you have really intention of renting the apartment.
I don't want your money first because I don't have need, I will buy the ticket of plane with my money, and I intend to use DepositGuard Company for protect your money, and show me that you have this money and you are a tenant real.
Now I will explain you how it work:
1. I will send our transaction details at DepositGuard Company;
2. DepositGuard Company will check the details of our transaction;
3. After they check the details, DepositGuard Company will contact you and send you the invoice together with all payment instructions;
4. Meanwhile you have 24 hours to confirm the payment to DepositGuard Company.
5. You must deposit the money in a bank account of DepositGuard Company.
6. After you confirm the payment, in 1-2 days I will be in Italy and contact you.
7. DepositGuard Company keeps your money until you see the apartment.
8. If you don't like the apartment and don't want to rent it, you will receive all your money back immediately from DepositGuard Company.
9. If you communicate to DepositGuard Company you want to rent the apartment, they will release the money to me.
NOTE: The money stay at DepositGuard Company in a safe bank account until you see the flat and sign the contract. If you don't like the flat after you see it, DepositGuard Company refund you all your money.
I want to make 2 things very clear :
1. The rent for the first month (500 €) + you will be required to pay a security deposit of 500 € (total 1,000 € first month).
This security deposit will be refunded to you at the end of your stay in my apartment.
PS: After this first payment through DepositGuard Company, the payment will be made monthly to my bank account on a scheduled date (at your convenience).
2. The payment is a simple formality and by paying you are not obliged to rent the apartment. You are just respecting the policy of DepositGuard company.
Now, in order to start the transaction I will need the following information from you :
a) Your full name ( first name , last name )
b) Your current address ( street name , street number , postal code , city )
c) Your telephone number (mobile or home number )
After I will receive this information from you I will register our transaction to DepositGuard Company.
Many thanks and hope to hear from you soon.
Sincerely,
Georgina Oliver
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.
