Telephone number +34667319840 is being used as part of an Rental Scam by someone claiming to be "William Catson" and using the email address willcatson52@gmail.com. The telephone number is included in the following Rental Scam email that is being sent to victims:

Me and my wife are retired and we moved to Spain in 2015 and we will NOT return to Canada anytime soon. The apartment was bought for my son during his college in Canada. When he finished his studies he decided to study for Phd in Australia. I'm renting an apartment for the first time therefore a professional company will make the necessary arrangements for both of us. I think it's much easier and convenient for both of us.

In Canada it's your legal right to check the property and verify the documents before I will receive any funds. Therefore I want to use a global real estate company specialized in property management called Newmark Knight Frank ( https://www.ngkf.com/ ). They are an online marketplace connecting landlords with tenants and also they provide the most secure payment platform worldwide. Newmark Knight Frank just needs my approval and your information so they can proceed with the transaction.
It's the first time for me doing a transaction like this so I want to follow the legal procedure.
Using Newmark Knight Frank involves three parties: me as owner, you as a potential tenant and Newmark Knight Frank as a responsible third party authorized to handle this transaction. Newmark Knight Frank will handle everything. Newmark Knight Frank works the same way as the escrow account on which you place the deposit when you rent an apartment, except that instead of a bank, we use Newmark Knight Frank.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THE AMOUNT YOU WILL SEND TO NEWMARK KNIGHT FRANK IS A GUARANTEE DEPOSIT THAT YOU HAVE THE FUNDS AVAILABLE AND IT CAN NOT BE RELEASED WITHOUT YOUR APPROVAL. I CAN RECEIVE THE FUNDS JUST AFTER NEWMARK KNIGHT FRANK WILL RECEIVE A COPY OF THE LEASE AGREEMENT WITH YOUR SIGNATURE.

LET ME KNOW IF YOU ARE STILL INTERESTED IN THE PROCESS, so I can provide all the detailed steps of the transaction (I am sure that many of the questions you have now, will be answered after I will send you the steps). If you choose to continue, I will do my best to be as transparent as possible during the whole transaction.

We are now located in Spain so if you have any other questions you can reach me any time at: +34667319840 ( if you are calling from Canada you need to dial 011- 34 667319840 ) or you can email me your number and I will give you a call.

Thank you and have a great day!

Regards,
William

The email was sent from the email address "William Catson <willcatson52@gmail.com>".

The email is a example of a Rental Scam targeting individuals looking for rental properties. The scammer will claim to have a property available for rent at a better than market price. They will claim to be unable to show the property due to having moved away and will usually offer to send the keys using some sort of Escrow service or ask for a deposit, again to be held in Escrow. They will often use the names of real companies in the rental and accommodation sectors such as AirBnB, Flipkey, Rightmove. Legitimate landlords will make arrangements for prospective tenants to be able to view their properties - if you can't physically see the inside of the property without having to pay money to someone then it is a definite scam.
