Craiglist에서 렌트를 알아보다가 주인으로부터 이런 이메일을 받았습니다. 처음엔 주인이 직장때문에 영국 런던으로 이사를 가 있는 상황이고 열쇠는 자기만 가지고 있다고 이야기를 하더군요. 뭐, 별 의심을 하지 않고 어떻게 하면 집을 볼 수 있겠냐고 했더니 다음과 같은 이메일을 받았습니다. 당장 송금을 하라는 말은 아니지만 결국 나중에 TNT라는 서비스를 통해 열쇠를 받아 집을 보고 마음에 들면 계약을 하고 돈을 보내라는 말인데요…이거 믿을만한지 갑자기 의심이 생기네요. 왠지 Craiglist에서 scam 조심하라고 했던 말이 떠 오르면서 말이죠. 여러분들 생각은 어떠세요?
Thank you for your reply but the matter is that I’m in London already.
Like I have inform you before, the price you shall pay for one month of rent will be $1350 US, with no extra taxes to pay. The money, I want to revive it monthly to my bank account, so I hope it will be no problem for you to wire the money to my bank account. The apartment is ready for you, you will need only to receive the keys and the contract to check it, and see if you like it. Obviously we need a way to complete this deal, that will allow us to make sure we receive what we are after. In order of that I have found a way for us to complete the deal safely and fast, and in this way you will receive the Keys in less than 2 days, if you move fast as well. The solution is provided by a company called TNT which is similar to FedEx, DHL or UPS, which will handle both payment and delivery of the Keys. I have found a procedure that will allow you to pay for the rent of the apt only after you will receive the keys of it and through this way you will see it and decide if you will stay in the apt or not before I receive my payment. Please click on the link bellow to the TNT website to see how we can complete the deal safely and fast directly from the website of the company where the procedure is explained:
