Hi!
I got the same mail, this time from another person (i think the scammer uses other victim names). The email it was sent from is: [email protected]. The mails were the same as yours and here is the last mail (same as yours, too):

Hello xxxxxx,

Now that you receive the lease contract agreement i want you to make the payment of 1000EURO to my mother so that i hold the place for you so that the apartment can be 100% secure for you on till your arrival date because i don't you loose this offer so if you really want the apartment i want you to go ahead and make the payment to my mother and after you make the payment to my mother i am going to send the original copy of the lease agreement to you through FedEx so that you will receive it next day delivery.

Below is my mother name and address that you will make the payment to

MRS............ANNA CRUSIUS
...................440 BLYTH VALE,LONDON SE23 5AD
UNITED KINGDOM.

YOU WILL NEED TO GET BACK TO ME WITH WESTERN UNION INFORMATION BELOW SUCH AS;

1..MTCN# CONTROL NUMBER 10 DIGIT NUMBER
2.EXACT AMOUNT YOU SENT ,
3.SENDER NAME AND ADDRESS

LET ME HEAR FROM YOU ASAP..HOPE TO SEE YOU SOON

BEST REGARDS
NANNETTE.


So this couldn't be scammier, right???

I forgot to mention, this time it was about a place in Zürich... The scam works internationally as it seems...

So i'm going on with this scammer... :) I played dumb and said i will talk to my lawyer and then send the money. I just want to see how far he will go... After i didn't write for a day, i got this "nice" email:

"Hello,

How are you doing today?Hope you are fine,i am waiting for the wiring info so that i can send it to my mother to pick up the fund,once you wire the money you should get back to me with all the wiring info asap.I will be waiting to hear from you soon.

Thanks,
Nannette.

Now he's really needy! ;) Actually Nannette is a real girl, i found her Facebook and Twitter profile, she's also looking for a room or appartment, so she has also been a victim of this scammer. I asked for a pass-photo and the scammer sent me one (of Nannette, of course). So he pretty much also uses personal data. I don't think i'll look for a room on the internet again... :)
