please make sure that you get in touch with the owner personally,get valid phone numbers and an actual address-ensure that the place exists and go with another person to view.this ''Dawson'' has a few postings around the sites-its very cheap apartments for a posh area and all facilities included.They will sweet talk you and say things like''for your security and mine''....''i would like us both to be safe''...its all lies-they just want to crash your savings and ruin your life.PLEASE BE CAREFUL!!

They will give you names such as

Mariah Dawson

Ashley Moore

Brian Scott

the address will be from somewhere in Bolton UK.

They will send you an invoice and tell you that they paid 200pounds for the fees and that you need to pay urgently for them not to pay extra fees and as soon as you pay you will recieve keys and contract.

they will give you the same number which is valid-07866193913.

But no body will answer.

they will use a third party agency named :parcel2go...

Please be careful as there is a parcel2go.com that is an actual company and they use their logos.
