Hello ,

Nice to hear from you!
Let me introduce myself, my name is: Elizabeth Gornall , I am an architect, I moved to the Faroe Islands, I have a project here that will take 3-4 years.
Airbnb charge some fees for services that they offer, to avoid taxes we reserve the apartment only for the first 2 months through their system + security deposit ( the security deposit is refundable ).
After you see the apartment we will do the lease agreement for the period that you want.
In order to book the apartment, you will have to do the payment to Airbnb with your credit card. Airbnb will hold your payment until you have received the keys, the lease agreement and you have seen the apartment. After you see the apartment, you will have to take your decision, if you wish to rent it or not.
I will receive the money only after you have seen the apartment and decided to take it.
If the apartment is not as I have presented it, you have the right to refuse it. Airbnb will return your money to your account in 12 hours from your decision.
After the first 2 months you will pay the rent monthly directly to my personal bank account.
I need to know: Check in date (when you want to move in the apartment): day / month / year
If everything sounds good to you, please send me your full name, address and phone number and I will send you the AIRBNB Link were you can BOOK.
If you require any further information, feel free to contact me.

Regards,
Elizabeth Gornall

I just contacted a listing and received an email from her instead and was wondering if she was legit, but then I found this which is exactly the same as what I received just with a different address and price.

Thank you for posting it!

Here is what I got in case it helps anyone else out.

Hello! I have got the same email from her yesterday out of the blue but because I have been sending inquiries about flats and apartments, I was not too surprised about receiving an email, rather than how cheap and easy to rent the house sounded considering how nice it looks from the picture and where is positioned.

Same thing happened to me two days ago. After I replied back to the email; cos she had pictures of a particular property I’d applied to, I had this weird feeling about the email address. I kept going back to it and then I decided to google it and that’s when I found this website and read everyone’s comments.

So glad I did, thanks everyone for sharing!
