Since you are satisfied with my flat and i see the willingness to have
it when you arrive, i want you to understand that i cant just come all
the way from Bremen in vain, and also i will want a situation whereby
every issue on the tenancy agreement form can be settled on that day
and also the handling over of the keys, i have resolved that a willing
and serious tenants should be able to make transfer of the security
deposit and the rent fee from your country with your friends or
relative s name as the sender and your name as the receiver which
will make the transfer available to receive by you in Germany which a
confirmation will be made on the transfer done to check if he or she
is capable of paying the rent before arranging for a viewing or to
retain the flat till your arrival and also stop other people from
viewing the flat and to be sure that after seeing my flat on your
arrival i ll get paid after because i wont afford to come in vain or
come twice on basis of the rent.
Please note that the transfer would have to be done through western
union from where you are into Germany so that it can be available for
you to pick up when you get here,all i need is the receipt as a proof
to show me that the funds is remitted with western union in your
name,when this is done i ll be present in Berlin on anytime depending
on the day you choose. and also so as follow you to the western union
outlet close to the flat to receive my rent fee, Please note that any
money sent by your partner can as well be picked back by your self
after it has been confirmed on the internet website of western union
that it is available for you.Please note that the cost of transfer
will be deducted from the rent fee and refunded to you when you come
for viewing.Once the transfer is within Germany,you will only need to
call me so i can have it forwarded to my lawyer to make a check if
truly the money is there in the western union website internet.
Since you will be needing the flat on your arrival, if you can make
the transfer this afternoon and my lawyer confirm then i ll reserve
the flat for you till your arrival, the amount you are to transfer to
your name is 350Euro and 500Euro for the refundable damage deposit
which in total is 850Euro
This person asks for a deposit payment via Western Union, MoneyGram 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.
