Do you think this email is a con?
I put an ad on GUMTREE.COM to say I am looking for a flat to rent.
I got an email back from someone who has a one bedroom flat for £400/ month so i replied saying i wanted to see it.
then he sent me this
Viewing the house is not a problem. But i will like you to do a thing. I guess you will understand this.It's in the policy my Solicitor has told me and i wish to abide by it. I won't get any money from you now. So you will do a thing to make me believe you really need the Property.I have been fooled several times and I had to travel a long journey with my Solicitor to meet people who wants to view my property and at the end of the day they tell me they want to stay in the Property for a month before they would pay me. I don't want this to happen to me anymore so My Solicitor has advised me that I have to be sure that who so ever is renting my property should be capable of paying the cost of the rent. You will go to the nearest WESTERN UNION MONEY TRANSFER around you,Send to your Friend send the sum of 1,000pounds in WESTERN UNION. The money will still be within you and your friend. I am not ready to get any money from you as i have said. All I need to see is the WESTERN UNION copy of receipt giving to you. Scan the WESTERN UNION receipt and send it as an attachment to my email just for me to view it and be sure you are ready to get the Flat. after viewing the property, and you really like it,
You can go together to the WESTERN UNION location agent or bank around here to get the 1,000 pounds back and we can reach an agreement on how you will move into the property. I will pay back to you the charges you will be using in sending the money in WESTERN UNION. If you don't understand, Here is an examples of how to do it....
SENDERS NAME....................YOUR NAME
RECEIVER' NAME...................YOUR FRIEND NAME.
AMOUNT SENT.....................1,000POUNDS.
and scan the copy of receipt to me in an email just for me to view it.
and then i can pick you up and show you the property.
Best Regards.

Answer by Dusty
YES IT IS!!!!!!!!!!! There are lots of scams out here like this. All using western union. I had a person trying to do this to me while buying a car acting like it was ebay but then would not use ebay and wanted me to use western union. DO NOT SEND MONEY TO KNOW ONE YOU DONT KNOW WESTERN UNION!!!!! Western Union is non refundable. Once you send it, you cant get it back. Im sick of all these fucks, Fucking people. Do not do it.

Answer by Barb D
It's a scam Don't even reply to this. Before you click SPAM, click Full Headers, find the email address below Message ID, and forward the email to spam@ whatever that email provider is. Then after you go back to the email, then click SPAM. That way it won't be able to come into your email box, and the isp will close down that email address.
