Hi,
The price is €141 per night for the whole apartment ( Amazing Penthouse in Center ) + €470 security deposit which is fully refundable on the check out date + € 28 cleaning fee. You will have full use of the property and standard amenities. Linens included (sheets and towels).Utilities included: ( Wi-Fi Free, fridge, clothes washer, dryer, dishwasher, cable TV, A/C). Parking space available.
If you would like to start the booking arrangements I would need the following info from your side:
- Arrival Date:
- Departure Date:
- No of Adults:
- No Children:
- First name:
- Last name:
- Street Address:
- City:
- Zip Code (Post Code) :
- Country:
- Phone Number:
- Special Requests on arrival:
Like any other transactions on Airbnb, they will handle payment and it will be released to me only after you check in. If everything is ok, please provide the requested information so I can initiate the booking on Airbnb. Awaiting your reply.
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.
