Hello

Am Nicole Anne,my parent lives in Prague,i stays in London before, but since the death of my Dad i have to relocate down to Prague in other to be take care of my Mum and after she left for London,i have been taking care of the flat.

I thanks so much for the mail and interest in my flat and ,i have been pretty busy in London for my internship. and if things work well between me and you i would have to come over to Prague and fix you into the flat.

However, the flat is located at (Vodickova 18 , Prague, Czech Republic)the flat will be available from March 2017, but i can reserve the room for you till when you are ready to move in.the flat has two bedrooms available and each room has a very bid bed that can sleep two people with a television connected to cable,a small refrigerator apart from a big freezer in the kitchen a private bathroom with toilet drawer.

However the apartment itself has the following for your benefit:a big living room fully furnished with a television connected to cable,internet facility available ,in all the two rooms if you have a laptop you can bring along and connect as well, the transport facilities are quite ok the area as there is a train station close to the flat.

Am sending to you some pictures hope you will love it?and i will send to you a rental agreement form to see what next to do, and if you need a room you are welcome, so that i can reserve either the flat or the room for you for the period you want cos a lot of people have wasted my time on this issue and i really want to deal with people who are
serious and genuinely interested in the room,i hope you understand me?thanks once again for the interest in my room while waiting to read from you soon.

Hello ,

Thanks for the reply and the interest in my room,am attaching to this
mail some of the flat picture i hope you will like it?as i stated in
my previous mail am not in prague for now, but you wawill be able to move
in on Friday, show you the room on that day and fix you in same day

The total monthly rent of 8000 , with the bills and charges of 750 for
a month rent,and the sum of 2 months rent for the security refundable deposit.

The flat is located at Vodickova 18 , Prague, Czech Republic.


I have seen people who told me that they will pay us upon seeing the
flat, promising me that money is not the problem or that their company
is paying or they are financially buoyant to pay the rent and then i
took permission to be absent from my school, when we meet and after
seeing my apartment,they definitely fall in love with it but they dont
have money to pay, i dont know how people are so unserious and take
pleasure in wasting other peoples time,they will start pleading with
me and telling me all their problems as regards finance and how they
cannot pay until a certain period of time which of course will make me
compassionate and i would be forced to help a fellow human being of
accommodation at my own detriment.
I hope you understand the way i feel about this issues, people have
deceived me into giving them rooms free and i will not fall for it
again.If you are serious in renting the room, you will have to pay in
advance to my mother ,Before making the payment their some procedure
we have to undergo If truly you are ready to rent the room,i will have
to tell our family lawyer to prepare Tenant Agreement form and a
receipt for the deposit which i will fill and sign and our family
lawyer will witness,i will scan it and send to you for to sign and
send back tome.i will need the following information.
1) your full name
2) your arrival date and departure date
3)your home address.The purpose of this address ,is for me to send the
tenant agreement form back to you,so that you can come with your own
copy of it.
4) your phone numbers
5)your scan ID


Looking forward to read from you soon if you are still interested in
renting the room and for us to proceed further with the next stage
Best regards


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.
