Hallo,

Vielen Dank für Ihre Antwort, ich habe Ihre E-Mail bezüglich meiner Wohnung.
Ich entschuldige mich, aber ich spreche nicht gut Deutsche Sprache.
Sorry für meine späte Antwort, aber ich bin in London/Vereinigtes Königreich, jetzt, und ich bin beschäftigt mit einem Projekt arbeiten. Anyway, ich danke Ihnen für Ihr Interesse an der Anmietung meiner Wohnung.
Der Preis für die monatliche Miete beträgt 570€ + 100€ Gebühren und die Kaution 1.000 €.
(Der Preis beinhaltet alle Nebenkosten). Ich besitze die Wohnung, und ich ging mit meiner Arbeit für einen 8-Jahres-Vertrag in London/Vereinigtes Königreich, so dass ich beschloss, es zu mieten. Die Wohnung ist in perfektem Zustand, keine Notwendigkeit für zusätzliche Reparaturen, die so was immer.
Also, wenn Sie Interesse an der Anmietung meiner Wohnung, bitte eine e-mail zurück zu mir für weitere details.
Ich habe kein problem, wenn Sie Tiere halten.

Hello,
Thank you for your interest.
As I mentioned in my previous email, I chose the company to take care of renting the flat. I have used this company in the past and I am very happy with them. You can inspect the flat in the presence of the rental agent, everything will be carried out in a safe manner and you need not to worry.
This is how Airbnb work :

1) I will make the delivery papers with Airbnb.
2) After I will make the papers for delivery they will require for your payment confirmation of the first month and the guarantee deposit(570€ + 100€ Fees + 1.000 € = 1.670 €) to the company. Airbnb will send you a delivery notification to let you know they have the Keys and the papers in their custody .


3) After the payment is confirmed the delivery process will start and when you will receive the keys.
4) Airbnb agent will call you in 2 days for meeting.
5) If you refuse to rent the apt , Airbnb will give you a full refund .
If you are interested to rent the apartment please send me your information, so i can make the deal:

Name:
Address:
City:
Postal Code:
Country:
Phone number:
A copy of your Passport or another ID by email

Thank you for your understanding and I am happy to know you as the new tenant.

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.
