Hi again,


As I told you before we will use the Properly Rent Service to complete the Rental Agreement. They will provide assistance in handling the payment and delivery of the keys plus the official documents. With this procedure you will be able to view my apartment without any obligations to rent it. I will pay all the transaction costs. You don't need to open an account with the Properly Rent Service because this transaction is a rental and the Landlord must open the transaction. This process will take maximum 2-3 days. To avoid any misunderstanding i will be gladly to explain you step by step how the viewing procedure works:
Here are the transaction steps:

1- YOU need to provide me your contact details: full name, mailing and your valid phone number.
2- I will go to the Properly Rent office to start the transaction and I will give them the apartment keys and all the transaction documents.
3- The Properly Rent RealEstate Department checks the apartment documents. They will also confirm with the building management that I'm the legal owner of the apartment I'm renting to you.
4- The Properly RentService will send you the TRANSACTION DETAILS to inform you that they have the keys and the papers in their custody.
5- You need to send the amount of 1200$( for the 1st month rent from the rental contract + DAMAGE DEPOSIT) to the Properly Rent payment representative sent to you in the notification. The payment needs to be sent within 24 hours after you receive the transaction details or else they are charging with me an additional fee.
6- As soon as the payment is completed you need to send the confirmation to the Properly Rent Service.
7- The Properly Rent Service checks your payment and starts the shipping procedures using UPS or DHL Service.
8- You receive the package and you have 5 days (inspection time) to check the place.
9- If you decide to keep the apartment you just need to sign the lease agreement and the Properly Rent agent will release the funds to me. If you don`t want to keep the apartment you will receive a full payment refund including any payment fee paid for it.
Please note that the Properly Rent Service can NOT release the funds to me without your approval. You have a full payment control.

Please contact me if you have the funds available (1200$) and send me your complete details so we can move forward.
For any other questions you can call me any time at: +44 20 8123 2467 (if you are calling from Canada or United States you need to dial 011-44-20 8123 2467) or you can simply email me and I will respond ASAP.
Hopefully everything is clear to you and for any other questions you can call me anytime or send me your number and I will call you.

Regards

Hi I got the exact same text from the person I wanted to rent from. We are using a 3rd part application called properlyrent.com which seemed legit. We had sent the money through WesternUnion 4 days ago and the money has been already picked up by the PR agent. What can I do?
