ABOUT ME:

My name is Louis I'm 22 year old female professional who keeps "normal" hours. I generally work between 9:5 during the week, i am also attending evening lecture for my professional course and am sometimes up early a few days of the week/weekend to work out/ go running.

WHAT I AM LOOKING FOR IN MY FLATMATE:

Responsible, cool male or female flatmate. Honestly, I don't care if you're out late as long as you're not noisy when you get in.Someone who keeps common areas clean, purchase supplies when needed and will help out with occasional kitchen+ bathroom cleaning. Doesn't smoke in the living room. Doesn't have pets or live in friends. Occasional friends, guests staying over is ok. Someone who is considerate and will communicate when they are going to be away for some time or if they are going to have someone staying over,Surprise guests, not so cool. The most important thing I'm looking for is to find a flatmate to share daily life and common values. I do not like drama.

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.
