Hi,
Address of the apartment: Nørre Voldgade 48B ,04, 1358 Copenhagen.
The apartment is fully furnished right now but if you want to rent it empty, I can arrange to remove everything you don`t need.
Also, there is a storage room that you can use.
As I said in my last email I am located in Poland with my family and for this reason I choose to rent the apartment. You can rent it for unlimited period, because we don`t need it for at least 5 years.
I am sure that you are a serious person and I will be more than happy to have you in my apartment. Last week I found someone who wanted to rent my apartment, but when I got there, he no longer responded to my calls, maybe he changed his mind, but I have lost
two tickets and two working days. We can not meet to view the apartment because I do not want to risk losing any more money and time, so I decided to leave the keys and the lease contract to www.airbnb.com, and they will take care of everything. The reservation
will be made through AIRBNB. There you will be asked the first month's rent, which is 4000 DKK + 8000 DKK deposit.
I wait your contact if you are agreed to rent the apartment.
Thank you for your interest.
With kind regards,
Bodil Bering

Hi,
Because we are talking about a long term rental, is a little different.
The reservation will be made through the site www.airbnb.com and they will handle the deal. Airbnb is asking for the first month's rent which is 4000 DKK + 8000 DKK deposit (12000 DKK) to be sent to them. After you make the payment to them, airbnb will send an agent to show you the apartment, give you the keys and the contract and if you decide to sign the contract I get paid by AIRBNB, in the opposite case, the total deposit will be returned.
I need the following details so I can start the rental process with you:
Arrival:
Adults:
children:
Name:
Surname:
Address:
City:
Country:
Telephone Number:
With kind regards,
Bodil Bering
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.
