THIS IS THE LEASE AGREEMENT FORM WHICH I WILL ADVICE YOU TO READ VERY WELL BECAUSE THIS IS WHAT WILL CONSTITUTE THE BASIS FOR OUR CONTRACT.

AFTER READING THIS AND YOU ARE OKAY WITH THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS THEN YOU CAN PROCEED WITH THE PAYMENT WHICH MUST BE RECEIVE BY MY MOTHER. SO THAT I CAN SECURE THE PLACE FOR YOU TILL YOUR ARRIVAL DATE, BECAUSE I HAVE MANY PEOPLE WHO WANT THIS ROOM ALSO,BUT MY MOTHER PREFER THE MOST SERIOUS PERSON WHO PAY HER FIRST TO SECURE AND RESERVE THE ROOM LEGALLY. YOU NEED TO PAY THE SUM OF 1,350 EUROS TO MY MOTHER FOR THE RENT OF ONE BEDROOM APARTMENT. I ATTACHED A SCAN COPY OF MY PASSPORT ID TO YOU JUST FOR YOU TO BE SURE THAT YOU'RE DEALING WITH THE RIGHT PERSON,

PLEASE MAKE PAYMENT AVAILABLE TO MY MOTHER THROUGH HER BELOW INFORMATION NOT LATER THAN 24HRS AFTER YOU RECEIVED THIS AGREEMENT FORM VIA BANK ACCOUNT WITH THE FOLLOWING INFO:

ACCOUNT NAME: O. OSALDEN
IBAN: IT29T0306967684510328989702
SWIFT/BIC: BCITITMMXXX
BANK NAME: INTESA SANPAOLA S.P.A
ITALY.

LET ME HAVE THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION AFTER SENDING THE PAYMENT:

-SCAN PAYMENT RECEIPT OF THE MONEY TRANSFER TO MY MOTHER ACCOUNT

LET ME HEAR FROM YOU ASAP AND HOPE TO SEE YOU SOON

BEST REGARD,
SARAH.


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.

Thanks for the response updated so far. I discuss with my mother about the security deposit issue and she agree with me to reduce it to 800euro due to your explanation. You are to proceed with the first month rent of 350 Euro and security deposit of 800 Euro which in total 1,150 Euro to my mother through her below information.

IBAN: IT81P0347501605CC0011787381

And get back to me with the scan payment receipt of the transfer after which the lease agreement contract will be send to you by me with my signed signature on the contract, together with a scan copy of my passport ID just for you to be assure you are dealing with the right person.

Thank You and hope to read from you soon with details of transfer.
