Thanks for your interest. Presently I moved to China with my wife on a family business and I don't want the apartment to be vacant, That was the reason I want to rent it out. And I want a caring, reliable, honest tenant. Its very clean and beautiful. If you got all these then you are qualified, l'll forward the application form to you to fill it out and both short-term and long-term contract are welcome. If you notice, you can tell from the price l offering is far below standard price, this is enough for you to know that l'm not after the rental fee but the absolute care for the property. I know there is no way I can be sure that you are the right person to live in the house because we won't be able to see physical before sending you the keys and the documents to occupy the apartment. But I just had a feeling that anyone who knows what it takes to put the kind of structure down should know that maintaining a building is mandatory, so if you belief you can take good care of the house and handle it like yours then I will be more than happy to let you rent the house.


The apartment located at,48 Rue du Stand, Geneva 1204 Switzerland,The apartment are located close to Lake Geneva in the foothills of the Jura Mountains. A number of activity and sporting facilities are within easy reach with tennis courts, golf courses including bar, restaurant and Decleor Spa.and a water sports centre all nearby,a wide range of museums, galleries, sights and attractions on offer.The apartment are located just a 10 minute drive from Geneva International Airport.Geneva city centre is approximately 5 minutes.

Absolutely everything is provided and Its CHF650 monthly includes all utilities such as electricity,heater,water, taxes and security, I got the key with me here in China, you can go and see what the location and building looks like, but you can't get into the apartment without the key with agreement form on my approval signature, and also security are not going to disclose any information about the property to you due to bad people out there. kindly understand! And if you are really serious about taking this apartment we both would make an arrangement how to get the key to you, by DHL/FEDEX express delivery. but before then you must to fill out an application form and make the security deposit payment, which is going to assure that you are really serious about renting it. you should plz get back to me as soon as possible.

The thief will tell you that you can rent his accommodation only if you can prove that you have genuine interest. He will ask you send money by wire transfer (normally Western Union) to yourself or a member of the family to show that you have sufficient finances and that you are not a "time waster".

Another variation of this scam is that you need to send (by Western Union) money in order that the keys and other documents can be couriered to you

He will ask you to send him the transfer details.

Make no mistake ! Western Union Transfers can be picked up virtually anywhere in the world and with the minimum of identification. They are almost impossible to trace once the money has been collected. You will never get to see the accommodation or your money again.

If you are reading this because you are looking for property to rent, and you are in contact with this thief you are probably searching Gumtree or similar listing sites. If you receive any requests from 'Landlords' asking for some kind of payment by Western Union before viewing, then it will also be a scam. Please forward the mail to me at the address in my signature line and I will investigate and list them if necessary.
