Hello,
Glad to hear from you again. As I told you before i can rent you the place for 1200$/month with full access to all the building amenities. The rent will not increase during the entire rental contract. I need to know how many people will stay in the apartment and also what type of rental contract do you prefer: 6 months with option of renewal or 1 year with option of renewal. The monthly payments can be wired to my Bank Account or any other payment method suitable for both of us. The apartment is in excellent condition like in the pictures and you just need to receive the keys and contract so you can check the place.
At this moment I'm located in London, United Kingdom and I think we need a safe way to complete this deal. I already have a solution provided by a worldwide third party company called TransUnion SmartMove (https://www.mysmartmove.com). They are providing assistance in handling the payment and delivery of the rental package and using their service you are be able to check the apartment before i receive the funds. You have full payment control until you will check the apartment. I'm registered with this company since 2009 and I have a positive record of 4 transactions as landlord and also as a tenant. They are really professional and they have great services. I just used their services again last month to find a new place to stay for me here in London.
I'm waiting for your answer if you are interested. I can provide you the transaction steps and everything you need to know about this process.
Thank you and hope to hear from you soon!

Hi again,
As I told you before we will use the TransUnion SmartMove Services 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 TransUnion SmartMove 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 TransUnion SmartMove Service to start the transaction and I will give them the apartment keys and all the transaction documents.
3- The TransUnion SmartMove 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- TransUnion SmartMove Service 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$( for the 1st month rent from the rental contract) to the the TransUnion SmartMove payment representative given to you in the notification. The payment needs to be sent within 24 hours after you receive the transaction details or else they are charging with me an additional fee.
6- As soon as the payment is completed you need to send the confirmation to TransUnion SmartMove Service.
7- TransUnion SmartMove Service checks your payment and starts the shipping procedures using UPS or DHL Service.
8- You receive the package and you have 5 days (inspection time) to check the place.
9- If you decide to keep the apartment you just need to sign the lease agreement and TransUnion SmartMove will release the funds to me. If you don`t want to keep the apartment you will receive a full payment refund including any payment fee paid for it.
Please note that TransUnion SmartMove can NOT release the funds to me without your approval. You have a full payment control.
Please contact me if you have the funds available (1200$) and send me your complete details so we can move forward.
For any other questions you can call me any time at: +44 208 144 1589 (if you are calling from Canada or United States you need to dial 011-44-20 8144 1589) 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

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.
