I put in an ad for 2 bedroom house/ cottage in the Scottish Borders for £350 per calendar month. I got a email from a guy called himself Michael Roland . 1st email was with photos of a very posh house for £350 per mth so alarm bells began ringing & then he told me he was out of the country & i was to send £600 deposit plus 1 months rent [ £950 ] by western union. I sent him back a email telling him i work in a law firm & it sounded very fishy. I have passed on his email to the police.

I think you should send the money anyway, I am sure everything will work out.
