I just got this email from the person mentioned above, but under a different email address ([email protected]). Unfortunately the reason I recognised it as a scam was that I have already been scammed by a different person whilst looking for accommodation in Amsterdam :( this is the heads up, in the hope that others will be a bit smarter/luckier.

Hello,

Thanks so much for the reply and interest in my room, Am Regan Vanessa ,am 24 years old, My father owns the flat but is now late ,i live alone in the flat, Am a professional, I have been pretty busy , however, the room is still available .

The flat has 3 rooms ,One is for me and the other Two is available for rent.

The room has the following amenities:

The room has a very big bed that can sleep two people with
Television connected to cable
Small refrigerator apart from a big freezer in the kitchen
Private bathroom with toilet drawer
Reading desk
Wall cupboard
Internet connection

The Apartment has the following Amenities:

Washing Machine
Heater
Dish washer
Storage
A big living room fully furnished with a television connected to cable
Internet facility .

The transport facilities is quite ok in the area, the flat is very close to metro station and public transport.

The rent per month is 400 Euros and a security deposit of 600 Euros ,The security is refundable, at the end of your stay in my flat, the security deposit will be refund back to you, The rent include all bills and bills are for Gas , Water , Electricity , tenement rate ,phone ,heater ,tax ,internet connection.

If you are truly interested in renting my room, you will have to pay the security deposit and one month rent in advance to show some seriousness that you really want this room, so that i can reserve the room for you for the period you want, cos a lot of people have wasted my time on this issue and i really want to deal with people who are serious and genuinely interested in the room. I will like to have a brief introduction of your self, so that i can have idea of whom you are .

I will send to you some pictures of the room and the rental agreement form to see what next to do, hope you understand me? Thanks once again for the interest in my room while waiting to read from you.

Best Regards,

Regan Vanessa
