Rental Scammer - [email protected]

From: Sara Gunther <[email protected]>

I will explain exactly how this will work: I will send you the link to my listing on airbnb and you must book the apartment for minimum 2 Months.
You will have to fill up the booking page with your details. After you complete it, you will receive per email the booking confirmation and payment details( from this moment you have 24 hours to complete the payment).
After you solve the payment, you must send me the proof, so I can confirm with airbnb that you made the payment and won the apartment.
When the payment is confirmed by airbnb, in maximum 48 hours, but usually it takes around 24 hours, they will contact you to establish a meeting so you can see the apartment.
When you will go to see the apartment you must decide if you want to stay there or not.
If you want to stay, they will transfer the payment to me and give you the keys with contract for the entire period that you want to stay.
If you don't want to stay, you will get a full refund from airbnb, directly to your bank account.
Let me know if you understand and also if agree so I can send you the link and solve everything.
Also make sure that you have the entire amount in your bank account, for minimum 2 months + deposit (that will be 690 X 2 + 600 = 1980 CHF).
After this first 2 months you will send the rent directly to my bank account, month by month.
Thank you, Sarah

Emne: SEK4475 / 2br - 76m2 - Apartment 2 bedrooms for rent in Malmo



Hello,


The apartment is free, very quiet area, has everything you need: TV, air conditioning, high speed internet (towels, sheets, cutlery), washing machine, dryer and dishwasher.
Rent is 500 per month (for the entire flat) and I require a deposit of 1000 euro. The monthly rent has the charges included (heating, gas, electricity, water).
We bought this apartment for our family's personal use, but now we are back home permanently in Germany, so we are trying to rent it.
We will not use the apartment for a long time, so you can rent it for as long as you want.
To know each other a little better I have some questions:
How many people will stay in the apartment? and how long do you want to stay?
Do you have an employment contract?
Do you have a pet?

Thank you, Sarah

Hello xxxxx, What you say is ok with me. Unfortunately, I am not there to show you the apartment because I was in Germany when I decided to rent it.
Here is the address so you can check the area and transportation: Kungsgatan 60, 21213 Malmo
The apartment is exactly like in the photos. If you don't want something, you can get it out and put it in the basement.
Because I am not there, I want to make the deal through Airbnb(in this way they will show you the apartment for me), so if you're interested let me know so I can explain and establish everything.
Thank you, Sarah

Hello,

The apartment is free, very quiet area, has everything you need: TV, air conditioning, high speed internet (towels, sheets, cutlery), washing machine, dryer and dishwasher.
Rent is 600 per month (for the entire flat) and I require a deposit of 600 euro. The monthly rent has the charges included (heating, gas, electricity, water).
We bought this apartment for our family's personal use, but now we are back home permanently in Poland, so we are trying to rent it.
We will not use the apartment for a long time, so you can rent it for as long as you want.
To know each other a little better I have some questions:
How many people will stay in the apartment? and how long do you want to stay?
Do you have an employment contract?
Do you have a pet?

Thank you, Sarah

Subject: Re: SEK6399 / 2br - 73m2 - Apartment for rent in Stockholm (Stockholm)

Hello xxxx, This is the apartment address so you can check it out on google for routes, transportation and surroundings: Olofsgatan 3, 111 36 Stockholm
Your description is good for me. Sadly, we are not in the city to to show you the apartment personally because we decided to rent it after we left to Germany.
We made the photos just before we left so the apartment is fully mobilated exactly like in the photos. We have a basement in the building where you can put everything you don't need.
As I said, because we are not in the city, we want to make the deal through Airbnb(in this way they will show you the apartment for us), so if you're interested let me know so I can explain the entire procedure.
Thank you, Sandra
