 |

Tony Brooks
The person named above is trying to get money out of people who are looking for a flat. This is the 2nd time someboy asks me to send my money through WESTERN UNION to them to prove that I can afford the flat. Once I reply saying that he can ring up my work place and the previous people I rented from...I never get a reply...
They usually send a very tempting offer of a flat with the characteristics you are looking for...so please be warned about this...
They also say that they don't live in England and therefore need to make sure they are not travelling for nothing...
Be warned of this!!! and don't be fooled.
Thanks

you can forward their email to abuse@yahoo.co.uk
tell them they are using their service for fraud and they should shut down the account |

They're getting to be as common as those Nigerian Letter e-mail scams.
You know, the ones where the minister of agriculture is willing to pay
you millions to help him move money to an offshore account |
