As I read the post here, I am really sure that the person contacted us was a scammer. My husband and I were looking for an apartment. The scammer offered a very cheap price for the apartment and the pictures were so beautiful. And it is the same tactics they offered. Here are the messages from Kristain Appel:

****Hello

Dear Scamwarners!

Thank you for this forum!

I was also close to getting scammed by this Kristian Appel! I was a little suspicious from the beginning when I read the add for a rental apartment - too good to be true low rent, in Skanderborg, Denmark.
My suspicions were confirmed when he sent me a request for money up front in return for getting the keys for the apartment and the fact that he didn't have anybody to show the place. I immediately started looking for his name on line and found you! I would never dream of paying money up front without even seeing a place for rent.

Thank you! Can he be reported to the police? He should - I am so mad :twisted:

There is a real life Kristian Appel in Birkerød, Denmark and he is a photographer (Facebook). I wonder if he knows how his name is being misused .....
