Hello,
We own the Apartment 936 Metropolitan Ave Brooklyn, NY 11211 listed for $1,095 with security deposit $700. is very much available for a ready to move in tenant.Utilities: water,Gas and electric are included.
However,I am writing to inform you that we have taken the add off craigslist because my wife has chosen you and one Edwin Perez as our best choice to rent to.
Which mean I will have to come down from Green bay alone to meet with either one of you. whoever that is more serious as you know getting an apartment in NY is very stressful. What we want basically is for a good and clean tenant to live in the apartment while we are here.. Before I come down I would like to know if you are ready and have the total of 1 month rent and security deposit? because I had traveled all the way only to be disappointment by a renter previously, where the renter had issues with his pay check therefore causing me a wasted time and expenses. I'm not ready to go through same experience again.
Kindly let us know If you can prove to us that you have the required funds one month and security deposit? definitely not by sending us money.
I will be waiting to hear back from you to see what we can work out.
Regards.
John Weatherly.
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.
