Hi Michelle,

I have dealt with the same scammer using that same email as I was trying to look for a rental apartment in Braunschweig. I’m glad you have been exposed them.
I can send you the emails I received if you are reporting them to authorities.

Hello again,

Thank you for your very quick response, as I told you I am in Lithuania, but this is not a problem for this transaction because I still have a contract with Airbnb, and they will help us to close the deal. The apartment have 2 double bedrooms.
Here is a brief description of how it works:
I need your full name and address so you can receive your invoice as a guest from Airbnb.
Once I will receive your info I will forward them to my Airbnb agent.
You will receive an invoice from them directly to your email address, where you will find their payment information's that you will use to make the deposit, 1 month rent + security deposit = 1880 EUR.
After Airbnb will receive and confirm your deposit, they will schedule a meeting so you can view the apartment, receive the keys and sign the lease contract so you can move in on the requested details.
You will have 2 days to decide whether you want to rent it or not.
In case you do not want to rent the apartment for any reason you will receive a refund from Airbnb immediately.
In the event that you understood all Airbnb terms and conditions please send me your information's :

Arrival (move in date):
Adults:
children:

Name:
Surname:
Address:
City:
Country:
Telephone Number:
Photos from your ID or Passport

Best regards,
