Dopo le presentazioni e spiegandoti le sue buone ragioni, il malintenzionato ti proporrà una cosa strafiga e strasicura: fatti fare da un tuo amico un versamento a nome tuo di 900£ alla Western Union (di modo che solamente tu potrai ritirarlo) e poi mi mandi copia della ricevuta cosi controllo che effettivamente questi soldi ci siano e siano mobilitati...
Viene quasi da chiedersi come mai non gli basti una copia del tuo estratto conto bancario...

Dear Ciaran,

the place seems nice and I also like the position. I am definitely a person who treat things well and I would really like to see the apartment. Since I will be beginning my post-doc in October, I was planning a visit in Cambridge around the 15th of September, in order to personally see the flat I will eventually rent. Will it be too late for you or do you think it will be possible for me to see it on those days?

One more questions, what taxes/bills will I have to pay besides the 500£ of the monthly rent?

Thanks a lot and have a nice day,

You won't be paying any other taxes/bills, all i have been incude in your monthly.

I can see the necessity for you to have a view of the property and believe me am giving this a serious consideration as i really want to let the property out to you.I have on two different occasion came for a viewing of the property and later find out that my proposed tenants are not capable of making things happen..believe me some don't even have the money to pay for the deposits...they have really claimed to be so much irresponsible so far as they made me come all the way down for nothing.Am not trying to insinuate anything here..am only telling you this to make you more certain am serious about my intentions and that i want responsible tenants in my property while am away in Edinburgh.When i come for the viewing of the property,i would have my lawyer prepare a Tenancy Agreement so we can both have them signed and also come along with the keys if you want me to...you just let me know. One more thing...i would require security deposit and a month rent when i meet you in person for the viewing...please let me know if you okay with this.I would also require reference from your previous landlord if you can provide one and also some kind of proof of your ability to pay me the funds when am around before i book my flight to meet you for the viewing.I don't mean to be rude but i think you can understand.

I spoke about the viewing with a friend,he advise me that i should accept a proof through Western Union money transfer before i can meet you in Cambridge for the viewing and i don't like the idea of collecting money upfront before you view the property so that's why i'll prefer to be done this way.
...
Note:The reason why i said you should use Western Union  is because it is the only money transfer that is secured and can be verified only that it was actually made and i don't want to get involve in any of your bank details for security reasons.
...
Hope you reason with me as i really want the viewing to take place.
Let me know what you think.
