Hallo,

Ik heb nog maar net lees uw bericht over de appartementen. Het spijt
me als mijn antwoord je een beetje te laat komt, maar ik was erg druk.
Het appartement gelegen Prinsenstraat 10, Amsterdam is nog steeds beschikbaar.
Ik moest werken in een ander land, dat is Londen, Verenigd Koninkrijk
voor 6 maanden in eerste instantie, maar nu heb ik geleerd dat mijn
baan zal blijven voor onbeperkt contract op de huidige locatie. Om
deze reden zal ik huurde het appartement voor onbepaalde tijd en ik
ben op zoek naar iemand die wil in een lange termijn huurovereenkomst
aan te gaan.

Het appartement: precies zoals op de foto, volledig ingericht,
gerenoveerd met smaak en beschikbaar. Ook zeer belangrijk de
nutsvoorzieningen (water, gas, elektriciteit, internet, kabel-tv,
parkeerplaats, koelkast, magnetron, etc) zijn inbegrepen in de prijs
van 650 € per maand voor de hele appartement. De huur voor het
appartement is 650 € per maand en dit omvat de rekeningen van
nutsbedrijven (alles inbegrepen) en u zal worden verplicht om een borg
van 650 € betalen. Deze borg zal worden terugbetaald aan u aan het
einde van uw verblijf in mijn appartement. Ik heb de mogelijkheid van
het verzenden van al mijn meubels in de opslag als u wilt uw eigen
(geen extra kosten) te brengen.

De aard van de huurder Ik ben op zoek naar moet boven alle zeer
verantwoordelijk en bij voorkeur dynamisch en communicatief.

P.S Gelieve te antwoorden me als je erg geïnteresseerd om het
appartement te huren zou moeten zijn. We zouden dan ook een exacte
datum voor het bezoek te gaan, want ik ben zeer beperkte tijd door
mijn werk.

Beste wensen,
Isabelle Coleman

Ik verontschuldig me voor mijn Nederlands, ik denk dat het het beste
is in het Engels te communiceren.

Hi xxxxxxxxxx, it's nice to have a reply from you so quickly!
And thank you for the interest that you have expressed to my
apartment. However, before we discuss the further details, I would
like to know a little something about you, like how many persons do
you intend to live in my apartment, for what period, etc.

First, a few details about myself : My name is Isabelle Coleman, I am
33 years old and work as engineer in London. I have an adorable
husband (Franco) and a daughter (Antonia). Another member of our
family is a six year old Labrador Retriever, we have all closed deep
in our heart. The problem is simply that I have a lot of work here in
London, I work as engineer and my husband as chef.

And I have little time to meet you in person and show you the
apartment. Currently, I have few days free. This allows me to come to
Netherlands and to show you the apartment. For this I would have to me
but can be sure that you are seriously interested and would be willing
to rent that apartment. Four weeks ago I had a potential tenant,
asked if I could come to Netherlands in order to show him the
apartment because he was interested to rent it. Then I bought a plane
ticket and I went to Netherlands, there to arrange a meeting with the
tenant. When I arrived, I tried to contact to prospective renters, but
he reacted neither my calls nor my emails. The result was quite simply
a loss of my time and a waste of my money.

I do not want this happening again and I was kept informed accordingly
on the Internet about a possible protection. During my research I came
across the protection from RentProtect, which can help us to make this
transaction safe for both parties.

So let me know if you would be willing to rent the apartment, so I can
tell you the steps that need to be made before our meeting .

Sincerely,
Isabelle Coleman

Hi,
Thank you for all the info. The solution to view and rent the
apartment is to meet with me so I am ready to come in Netherlands.
The problem is that I requests payment for the deposit month and a
security deposit in advance to be sure that you have really intention
of renting the apartment.
I don't want your money first because I don't have need, I will buy
the ticket of plane with my money, and I intend to use www.cozy.co for
protect your money, and show me that you have this money and you are a
tenant real.

Now I will explain you how it work:
1. I will send our transaction details at RentProtect Company;
2. RentProtect will check the details of our transaction;
3. After they check the details, RentProtect will contact you and send
you the invoice together with all payment instructions;
4. Meanwhile you have 24 hours to confirm the payment to RentProtect Company.
5. You must deposit the money in a bank account of RentProtect Company.
6. After you confirm the payment, in 1-2 days I will be in Netherlands
and contact you.
7. RentProtect Company keeps your money until you see the apartment.
8. If you don't like the apartment and don't want to rent it, you will
receive all your money back immediately from RentProtect Company.
9. If you communicate to RentProtect Company you want to rent the
apartment, they will release the money to me.

NOTE: The money stay at RentProtect Company in a safe bank account
until you see the flat and sign the contract. If you don't like the
flat after you see it, RentProtect refund you all your money.

I want to make 2 things very clear :

1. The rent for the first month (650 €) + you will be required to pay
a security deposit of 650 € (total 1,300 €).

This security deposit will be refunded to you at the end of your stay
in my apartment.

PS: After this first payment through RentProtect, the payment will be
made monthly to my bank account on a scheduled date (at your
convenience).

2. The payment is a simple formality and by paying you are not obliged
to rent the apartment. You are just respecting the policy of
RentProtect company.

Now, in order to start the transaction I will need the following
information from you :
a) Your full name ( first name , last name )
b) Your current address ( street name , street number , postal code , city )
c) Your telephone number (mobile or home number)

After I will receive this information from you I will register our
transaction to RentProtect.

Many thanks and hope to hear from you soon.
Sincerely,
Isabelle Coleman

Hi xxxxxxxxxxx,
I sent your details to Cozy RentProtect Company. I attached to this email a copy of my passport and the contract. My Whatsapp number:
+447774396376
I just wanted to confirm you that Cozy RentProtect sent you the payment invoice.
As soon as the transfer will be checked, I will put in contact with you to establish a meeting so you can view the apartment.
After the payment is done, please provide me the scanned paper from bank office as a prove, for I can go to buy a fly ticket.

So,one more thing.. check your junk box of the email maybe you will receive the Cozy RentProtect email there, as I've received one of their emails in the junk.

Also this invoice is available only 24 hours if the payment isn't done in 24 hours our deal is down.

Please tell me when you will do the payment?

Let me know asap.

Best Regards

PS: For a faster payment confirmation Cozy RentProtect strongly recommend to ask your bank for an Express Wire Transfer Services.

I actually received the first couple of emails after responding to a Dutch ad (marktplaats.nl) for an apartment in Nijmegen. However, the email address who was used for correspondence was: [email protected].
Thank you for posting the warning on this website. I already got a bit suspicious due to the language and it also sounded too good to be true.

I had the exact same emails, only the names were changed. This time it was from a Sienna Grannt. Also on the dutch website Marktplaats.nl. It was about a nice appartment in Zaandam.
