Rental Scammer - [email protected]

G*ddammit, I knew it sounded too good to be true. Found a nice apartment, but something felt wrong. The pictures seemed to be from a different type of house that really is in that address. Reverse image search didn't find match, but the email address lead me on this site. This is the mail I got:

"Hi,

My name is Gabriele and I received an email of interest for renting my apartment. The apartment is available, quiet, has all the facilities and utilities: TV, parking, laundry, air conditioning, high speed internet, pets allowed. The monthly rent is EUR 450, it is also important to include additional costs (water, electricity, internet, digital television) in the price. I worked in Finland for 7 years and bought the apartment with my family, but now I'm in Italy-Rome and I will not stay there, so I rent it for a long time. What time do you need? I would like more information about you if you do not mind. Thank you for your interest and look forward to future cooperation and friendship. Speaking English is much easier for me.

All the best,
Soranzo Gabriele"

So this is probably the same person(s)

Wanted to see how this goes. Here's the following email I got:

"Hi again,
I will explain you step by step how this service works:
To start the process all I need is your full name, delivery address and a phone number. After I will make the papers for delivery, airbnb will contact you with further information regarding the rental and you must follow the instructions to make the payment of the first month rent (450 €) + (900 €) the guarantee deposit = (1.350 €) in their account. Once the payment is confirmed, delivery process will start and from the moment you receive the keys, you have 2 days available to inspect the apartment before your final decision to rent. If all is in order and you decide to stay, you will sign the contract and Airbnb will pay me. Further rents will be sent directly to my bank account. In case you won't like the flat, Airbnb will give you a full refund within 24 hours and you will give them back the keys, but I'm pretty sure that you will be more than happy with your stay. So, if you want to start the transaction please send me the requested information and a copy of your ID,passport or driving license by email ( scan or photo) also a picture of you.
Regards,
Gabriele"
