Hallo,

Die Wohnung ist verfügbar. Die monatliche Miete ist 700€
(einschließlich Stromkosten, Gaskosten, Wasserkosten und
TV-Internetzugang, 2 Parkplatz-Tiefgarage). Die Kaution ist 1.400€.
Zu Beginn Ich habe ein paar Fragen:
- wie viele Personen bleiben in der Wohnung?
- Wie lange wollen Sie bleiben?
- Hast du einen Job? Oder Sie sind Student?
- Wie werden Sie zahlen die Miete?
Die Haustiere sind erlaubt. Sie können mieten die Wohnung von minimal
2 Monate bis zu 10 Jahren (mit Verlängerungsmöglichkeit). Die Wohnung
haben Möbel aber ich kann es zu entfernen falls Sie es wollen. Die TV
und Internetverbindung sind enthalten im Mietpreis. Innenausrüstung:
Waschmaschine, Mikrowelle, Staubsauger, Kühlschrank, Herd. Ich reise
mit meinem Job und ein Treffen von Angesicht zu Angesicht ist nicht
möglich. Wir können nutzen eine Immobilienagentur für diese Miete
Prozess. Ich komme aus Großbritannien also bitte entschuldigen mich
mein schlechtes Deutsch.

Hello,


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.

Hello,

The apartment address is: Wilhelm-Beer-Weg 155A, Frankfurt am Main 60599.
The rent is 500€ per month. The deposit is 1.000€. The total amount to pay is 1.500€ (1 month rent and the deposit).
In the monthly rent you have included: Water, Gas, Electricity, TV-Internet connection, 2 Parking places, waste disposal.
I am ready to send you the keys so that you visit and check the apartment. The delivery of the keys and the lease (signed by me) will be made by Airbnb (airbnb. com), they will also help us as a third party to make the transaction. Their rental process service give a protection for both of us.

Caution - The money must be sent to Airbnb before you get the keys. If you agree send me your data to start the transaction. After I receive the confirmation from Airbnb that you made the transfer, I will send the parcel with the rental contract and the apartment key. I will send the tracking number to Airbnb and to you. If you do not agree I will not start the transaction. If you don't like the apartment, Airbnb will refund the transfer to your bank account. If you decide to rent it, Airbnb will send the transfer to my bank account.

If you want to pay in advance for 6 months or 1 year, I can make a discount. For 6 months you will pay 2.500€ ( + 1.000€ the deposit) and for 1 year you will pay 4.500€ ( + 1.000€ the deposit).

To start the transaction I need the following information:

Full name:
Street:
City:
Postal Code:
Country:
Mobile number:
How much do you want to pay: 1.500€ (1 month rent and the deposit), 2.500€ (for 6 months + 1.000€ the deposit) or 4.500€ (for 1 year + 1.000€ the deposit)?

I'll pay for the services of the agency, so there is no cost to you.
Thank you,
