hello
Am just reading your email.... when you put the money in western
union using any of your friend's name and address then let the
transaction remain with them till after the viewing on Wednesday so
that after the viewing and signing of the lease on Wednesday all of us
can go to a nearby western union together and the receiver will cash
the money then you pay me in cash and if we are unable to get
everything done on Wednesday i plan to stay till Thursday or more
until we get everything sort out before i leave i hope i have answer

Scammer trying to con money off Gumtree users - the mobile phone no. seems consistent the email and name changes.
Details below
George James <georjames44@yahoo.com>
Hello
Thanks for your response and interest on my property, is located at 35 HAWTHORN STREET HEWORTH YORK YO31 0XP meanwhile i will want to inform you that am letting out the property base on the fact that am out of York at present. Am handling a contract presently outside York and i don't want my property to get spoil for lack of use as am planning to relocate from York as well. Am ready to let it out for you for as long as you want it provided you keep my place clean, tidy and never fail the payment day.
However, concerning viewing the property, i had a very bad experience with some future tenant..... It might interest you to know that someone called me down to York base on the fact that he wanted to view my property and make payment by cash base on our agreement. As he has shown me a bank statement and regular record of payment on pay slip but to my surprise after the viewing he presented me with a post dated cheque which will take at least five working days to clear from the bank. I asked him the reason for this as we have concluded on payment by cash after viewing; his response was that he has used the money for some urgent and pressing need. I was disappointed for this happening picture yourself in my shoes on a very tight schedule, how will you feel? i have to leave without letting out the property. Although he apologize to me but am just too busy to waste my time on speculations. Similar cases happen to me recently.
Therefore to prevent such happening, I concluded that anybody viewing my property of which Am 99% sure that if you view it you will not be able to say no to it. You have to show me an evidence that you can pay me in cash after the viewing since I don’t want to accept any payment till after the viewing. such an evidence must be an evidence that I can confirm not just something on paper like bank statement or pay slip I need an evidence that I can confirm I suggest using western union because I can confirm any transaction you transact with them.
Therefore locate any western union agent close to you and transfer the security deposit and the first month rent to anybody you trust within UK. This transaction as to remain in western union until after the viewing as I don’t want a situation of money being spent on pressing need again like the previous tenant complained. So, the transaction has to remain in western union until after the viewing preferably we walk down there together the receiver will cash the money and you pay me in cash .I understand there will be transfer charges in western union I want to assure you that I will be responsible for the transfer charges. You will deduct it from the cash before paying or I pay it back to you in cash as soon as you get it done in western union get a scanner and scan me the receipt given to you at western union. Send it along with the date and time you want us to meet for the viewing and I will make my plan towards it. Remember am not asking you to send me money.
Mean while after the viewing am sure you will be okay with the property then will sign the lease agreement then you pay me in cash I will issue you receipt but the subsequent payment will be to my bank account ....be rest assured that am dealing with you alone because it will cost me to refund back to you the transfer fee so I don’t want to deal with two tenants at a time i hope to read from you as soon as possible....and if you are not interested please kindly mail me back so I can attend to another tenant..you can call me on 07077084457
Thanks

070 is not a UK mobile number , they are numbers bought by scammers in Africa . They look like UK mobile numbers hence why they use them .
The numbers are expensive to call and the person on the other end of a 070 number is a scammer looking to steal money from you . |
