Hello,
The apartment is available, is located in a quiet area, has all the facilities and services: TV, air conditioning, high speed internet, pets allowed(towels, sheets).
The price is 600 per month and I require a deposit of 500 euro. The monthly rent has the charges included.
We bought this apartment for our family's personal use, but now we are back home permanently in Poland, so we are trying to rent it.
We will not use the apartment for a long time, so you can rent it for as long as you want.
To know each other a little better I have some questions:
How many people will stay in the apartment?
and how long do you want to stay?
Do you have an employment contract?
Do you have a pet?
Thank you, Janeta

I will explain exactly how this will work:
First you must book the apartment for minimum 2 Months.
You will have to fill the booking page with your details.
After you complete the booking details, you will receive per email the booking confirmation and payment details.
After you send the payment to airbnb you must send me a scanned paper of the receipt so I can confirm with airbnb that you made the payment and won the apartment.
When the payment is confirmed, in maximum 48 hours, but usually it takes around 24 hours, you will be contacted by one of airbnb agents to establish a meeting so you can see the apartment.
When you will go to see the apartment you must decide if you want to stay there or not.
If you want to stay they will transfer the payment to me and give you the keys.
If you don't want to stay you will get your money back from the agent.
Let me know if you understand and also if agree so I can send you the link and solve everything.
Also make sure that you have the money for minimum 2 months + deposit (that will be 600 X 2 + 500 = 1700 euro).
Thank you, Janeta
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.
