The exact same phone number also appears in a lottery type scam from March 2012. The same scammer also uses the email address [email protected]
And can also be seen on viewtopic.php?f=39&p=106479

i almost got caught out by this one! its a good job you have this website else i would never of known, since i found your website i have checked two other people out i was in contact with about flats due to the same style writing as stella and what do you know both scammers! [email protected] and [email protected], :yikes: disgusting people should be ashamed of theirselves!, reported them all to starflats.co.uk and since i have spoken to stella she has updated her advert to have a jacusi bath and a conservatory, these websites need to do more thorough checks before they let creatures like that post ads on this site, now does anyone know where i can find a nice 1 bed flat for about £300-£350 pcm that does infact exist :) thankyou

Welcome to ScamWarners kellbell. It is great to hear that our site helped you. Sadly scammers are everywhere on the internet. Though sites work to warn or even keep them off, the scammers keep adapting.

I hope you find a flat. Really, asking on an open site like this could subject you to more scammers trying to contact you. I think word of mouth is best, or working with a professional you can meet with who is licensed to find flats. Best to you!

Thanks a lot guys!

I live in Bath and saw a property - http://www.starflats.co.uk/one-room-fla ... 80193.html

The pictures seems literally of a hotel.

But i am quite desperate now so i mailed them anyways...

got a reply...asking where i live and if i can keep the place tidy...

but again, i just couldn't get my head of the fact that they want to rent a place for 300pm bills included! in Bath! for God's sake.

Thanks god!

thanks guys! you guys saved my day!

Regards,
Srini

Anyways, tried to google this number before i exchange a 2nd mail.

Thanks for the reply and the sincere interest you have in my flat.My flat is fully furnished in and out as you can see in the picture and there is a garage and a off street parking in my flat,I spoke with my lawyer some couple of minute ago concerning the interest you have in my flat and we both agreed to have you in my flat.However will have to confirm the proof first, and what you have to provide is very simple,i am just in need of a confirmation proof,and these is due to some previous predicament that i have gone through in trying to rent my other property to some students and professionals. I have realize so many people are not really in need of a property at the moment,all they do is secure a place in advance. My last experience in trying to rent the property to a particular professional lady got me to predicate on these,she made me believe she was willing and ready to get the property,she even went to the extend of showing me her statement of account,which made me felt so comfortable and took her for the viewing,but after the viewing,she got to love it and she never wanted to loose it,so she kept pleading i retain it for her because she wasn't financially composed at the moment,and i did because i understood her situation,but it all ended up disastrously.

So basically for me to be sure of you been willing and ready to get the property i will implore you walk into any Western Union outlet and send the security deposit of 500 and at least one month rent to any of your friend,relative or your partner in Oxford or any part of the UK via Western Union,or your partner should send it to you,all i need is for you to get back to me with a scan copy of the western union receipt issued to you after making the transaction via western union so i can confirm it. After the confirmation, we shall arrange for the viewing immediately, and after the viewing, your partner can go and withdraw the money for you from the western union, but i have to confirm it first because it's based on a protocol.

I hope you understand,and look forward to reading from you.well you can call me if you need me to explain better

Best regards
