Hello,
My name is Jella Deatel and I just got an e-mail regarding your interest in my flat . The postal code is : W52RN
Why is the price so low? I have just divorced from my husband (after confessed that he had fallen in love with another woman, I decided to divorce), and I had to move to Munich ,Germany. I don't want to sell the flat because I have a 12 years old daughter who will come to study in England high school and college. So all that I want to do now is to rent the flat to some nice and responsible persons, who will take good care of the flat for the next years. I have won the flat after the sharing of the of marital properties. I am the single owner, the flat is fully paid and there is no legal problem. The flat is unoccupied since I no longer live there.
I would like to know more details about yourself : How old are you, if you are married, if you have a pet, if you have a car, occupation etc.. I love pets and they are welcome in the flat. You should also know that I appreciate the sincerity.
In addition to the rest, here is some information about myself and about the flat, so we knew a little more.
The flat is exactly like in the pictures, fully furnished, fully equipped, so you won't need anything to move in (you can also bring your own things furniture if you have). It has been recently renovated.
The monthly rent is 650 pounds (for the whole flat) with utilities (water, electricity, internet, cable, one parking space) - INCLUDED. You can rent the flat for an indefinite period, but for a minimum period of two months.The security deposit is also 650 pounds, and you get it back, when you decide to leave the flat (you will have to give me at least 30 days notice).
About myself, I am 38 years old, single woman, and as mentioned above I am living in Munich ,Germany.
If you agree and you are decided to rent the flat i am are ready to make a trip to England and meet you in a city acceptable for both of us. If this is agreeable to you please include your location and where are you originally from, in your next reply.I appreciate your interest in my flat and I'm looking forward to our future collaboration and friendship.
Sincerely,
Jella
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.
