Hello,
First, Thank you for your e-mail.
Second, sorry for my late reply.
I am the owner of the apartment...My name is Ludovic Ruggiero old graphic designer from London /United Kingdom, planning to retire in the next 2 years.
The apartment is fully furnished, could be rented unfurnished too-same price if unfurnished.
The entire apartment is for 450 euro per month including all utilities/bills (water, electricity, internet, cable).
Has washer/dryer in unit, A/C, dishwasher, safe neighborhood, nice neighbors, very quiet, no noise, close to transportation and everything else, floor 2.
My intention is to rent the apartment to nice, clean people and in order to do that I would like to know a little something about you, like how many people do you intend to live in my apartment, do you have a steady income ,etc. The flat is exactly like in the pictures, fully furnished and renovated.
Below is the apartment address:
Sint Lievenslaan 169
9000 Gent
Let me know if you are still interested and i will send you more info and pictures of the apartment.
Please tell me in short what exactly are you looking for and which are your requirements?

This person asks for a deposit payment via Western Union, MoneyGram, pre-paid credit card or bank transfer with a promise that you can have the keys to a property that does not belong to him.
Sounds safe. It's not!
At other times, he will ask for proof that you are able to pay the deposit and rent due to a string of time wasters.
This proof is in the form of a Western Union or MoneyGram payment to a lawyer,a friend or family member.
In either case, if payment is made and you give this person the details, they will collect the money.
You will not hear from them again.
All the details such as names, addresses, pictures etc. that the scammer uses in order to back up his story, are stolen from elsewhere.
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 Craigslist, Gumtree or similar listing sites. If you receive any requests from 'Landlords' asking for some kind of payment 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.
