Hello!
I need your help.
I have been offered a very nice apartment in Singapore for cheap rent.
The owner, who is currently abroad, will send me the signed lease agreement and the apartment keys through Velocity Express. They will send me a notification that they have received the keys and the lease. Next I will have to send the 1st month payment and the bond to the Velocity Express account through bank wire transfer.I will have to send the deposit information(a photocopy of the transfer receipt) to Velocity Express.
I will receive the keys and the lease from Velocity Express.I will checkout the apartment and if I like it I release the payment to the owner.If I don't like it you return the keys and the unsigned lease to the Velocity Express agent and they will refund the cash I deposited.
Does anybody know if there are similar scams around in Singapore?
Thank you!
