Room for Rent and other rental scams

This person is advertising her (non-existing) apartments on various sites. Payment is requested through Western Union. The telephone number of the tenant in the UK is a +4470 telephone number, which is a redirect follow-me number. Basically it is a number which transfers calls to anywhere in the world while appearing to be in the UK. It is a scammer's favourite tool. Even though she says the apartment can be visited, a problem will occur at the last minute so you can't actually view it.
