I'm glad you are interested in my place..Will start by saying a bit
about me,i'm a professional artist,self employed and i work alone..I
have just opened a new venture here in Ukraine and moved so i am looking
to rent my place out both on short and long term basis.
It is presently available for immediate move in,a very clean modern 2
bedroom and 2 bath apartment and i am renting just one room out at the
moment but you will definitely have full access to the rest of the
apartment which also comes with every bit of utility needed plus a dish
washer,laundry,storage space and also parking space.You will be living
in an environment of professionals and mature neighbours so you don't
have to worry about privacy.
The rent is $500 per month and it will have all utilities included and
a damage deposit of $500 . I will like you to drive by the building to
get a view of the exterior so you can be familiar with the location, as
soon as you have done that pls get back to me soonest so i can forward
the interior pictures and we can proceed to the application process.
Will be looking out to read from you soonest.
Cheers
Erika
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.
