I used to stay in the flat before but I moved-out of it some months ago because I recently secured an admission into the University of New York, USA for a 3 years course so that was why I wanted to rent the flat out.

Thanks for taking your time to read my message and for your interest in my flat, I hope to read from you soon.

The writing style tells me that "she" isn't French or Dutch, but West African. It's a scam.

Please post the email address that the scammer is using.

Please do not tell scammers that they are listed here - it will take them seconds to change their fake details and their new details will not be listed for any future victims to find.
