Thank you for posting this information portwally and welcome to ScamWarners. Unfortuantely, scammers keep popping up. Some times it is the same scammer and some times it is another scammer using the same script. As long as they can steal money this way, they will keep doing it. Thank you for helping to make it more difficult for them to take money from others.

He almost caught me out too today. I'm just glad i googled 'Barrister Peter Louise before I signed his contract and transferred money in advance. This time he was masquerading as David Morris Kelly, [email protected], but with an identical contract to the one posted here. When something appears to good to be true it probably is...and this is!! I lived in Amsterdam for over 10 years and know 500 Euros for an apartment on Amstel is unheard of. Oh, and free parking space too...you'd be lucky!!!!

wilpet, thank you for posting up this new information. We are pleased that our site helped you to not complete the "transaction" and keep some more money out of scammers hands.

Thank you for the warning and true words.

Furthermore they request the prepayment through Western Union using some cheap excuses.

Be warned when listening of Western Union transfers.

cheers

I have to say, Google does save lives or at least someone's money. This time it was a flat for rent in Finland and my friend was about to get scammed. Today she asked me to help to translate an e-mail (her English language skills are even weaker than mine). I knew she was going to rent a flat but didn't know any details, just that the rent was pretty cheap and the person renting the place didn't speak any Finnish. Anyway, I read the mail and got suspicious. First because of some very strange ways to use English and then -when I had read a bit further- because the money was asked to send through Western Union. Then I googled the address that was given for the money transfer and found this website and the e-mail that was almost 100% identical to the one sent to my friend. My friend has apparently already sent her detailed information but not the money, as what I read from the e-mail concerned about signing the contract and sending the money.

I still don't know the name nor the e-mail address of the sender (as I only read the copy of the message), asked those from my friend but she hasn't replied yet.
