Hello,
Thank you for your interest. My name is Isabella Marsden and i'm the owner of this apartment located in: Carrer de Sant Pere Més Baix, 10 , 08003 , Barcelona , Spain - Hermoso apartamento con dos dormitorio in Barcelona - 510EUR . It has 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom, 1 kitchen and 1 living room .
I am looking for someone to rent it as soon as possible, because i recently divorced and i am moved back to my country in London,United Kingdom. I am currently located in London. The renting period is from 1 month up to 1-8 years. As a result of this i want to rent, for this period, at this price and also to find the perfect person for my apartment. The apartment looks exactly like you can see in the pictures it's very clean and quiet and the neighbors are ok.
The apartment is furnished, but I can take my furniture out if you want to bring your own (no extra costs). The rent for 1 month is 510EUR (for the whole apartment) including all utilities (water, electricity, Internet, cable, parking, air conditioning, dishwasher, garbage disposal, microwave, refrigerator). You can move in the apt in the same day when you receive the keys. The only problem is that i have the keys here with me but we will find a solution .
I will look forward to hear from you .

This person asks for a deposit payment via Western Union or MoneyGram with a promise that he will send the keys through a courier company.

Sounds safe. It's not!

At other times, he will ask for proof that you are able to pay the deposit and rent due to a string of time wasters.
This proof is in the form of a Western Union or MoneyGram payment to a lawyer,a friend or family member.

In either case, if payment is made and you give this person the details, they will collect the money.
You will not hear from them again.

If you are reading this because you are looking for property to rent, and you are in contact with this thief you are probably searching Craigslist, Gumtree or similar listing sites. If you receive any requests from 'Landlords' asking for some kind of payment before viewing, then it will also be a scam. Please forward the mail to me at the address in my signature line and I will investigate and list them if necessary.

Thank you for your reply but i'm already in London UK and there is only
one method we can do it right now . Like i told you before the price you must
pay right now will be 420EUR + 420 security deposit ( 840EUR ), with no
extra fees . You will send me the money every month to my bank account if
that's ok with you. The apartment is ready , all you need is to receive the
keys and the contract to check and you can move in right away .
We will use a shipping/escrow company called MoneyBookers for the safety
of both parts ,it's a very well known and safe company all over the world .
Let me explain you how the transaction will go step by step: first i will
go to MoneyBookers with the package and start the delivery procedure,
second you will be notified by MoneyBookers to know the transaction has been
initiated and they will give you all instructions on how to complete the
payment to their company's agent. After they will have the confirmation of
payment from you will have the package delivered to your address and they will
hold the payment until you will confirm that you are satisfied and
everything is alright . So after you will see it if everything is as you expected
so you must contact them to release the payment and we're done . If
everything sounds good for you please send me your full name and address and I
will go to the nearest MoneyBookers office and start the delivery procedure
asap.

Hello there!
So glad to know that is for rent. Is a beautifull house! We are two students girls, 21 and 20, we are very clean, been living in Porto for two years now. We'll love to see it as soon as possible. I think we can arrange that - I work, so I'd rather see it in the morning but my friend can go see it in the afternoon. The furniture is not a problem. The location is perfect, just wondering if it's a safe neighbourhood. Any problems? My contact is 912825383, my name is Sofia by the way. If you can tell me something today... I'de appreciate it. We almost can't believe yet, that house is really amazing! It looks like we're living in a magazine!
Look forward to hear from you,
Sofia Morais and Ana Garcia

Thank you for your reply but the matter is that I'm in London already. Like I have inform you before, the price you shall pay on the first month of rent will be 300 EUR + 300 security deposit ( 600 euro ), with no extra taxes to pay. I must have one month rent + security deposit from you. The money, I want to recive it monthly to my bank account, so I hope it will be no problem for you to wire the money to my bank account. The apartment is ready for you, you will need only to receive the keys and the contract to check it, and see if you like it. Obviously we need a way to complete this deal, that will allow us to make sure we receive what we are after. In order of that I have found a way for us to complete the deal safely and fast, and in this way you will receive the Keys in less than 2 days, if you move fast as well. The solution is provided by a rental company called AllMac Shop Rental LTD which is similar to FedEx or UPS, which will handle both payment and delivery of the Keys. I have found a procedure that will allow you to pay for the rent of the apt only after you will receive the keys of it and through this way you will see it and decide if you will stay in the apt or not before I receive my payment. Please click on the link bellow to the AllMac Shop Rental LTD website to see how we can complete the deal safely and fast directly from the website of the company where the procedure is explained:

www.allmac-shop.com

Let me know if you are interested please because I really need to take care of this matter.


Email nº 4

Hello,

The company what I've hired is a major real estate agency from London, specialized in international rentals, to represent me.
They are called AllMac Shop Rental LTD, and their website is: www.allmac-shop.com
This agency will handle the delivery of the keys, the inspection of the flat and also the payment .
Here's how it works :
1 – To start this transaction, I need your full name, address and telephone number. I will also need to know the rental period so I can put it in the contract.
2 – I will go to the AllMac Shop Rental LTD office to drop off the keys and documents of the house, along with the contract
3 – AllMac Shop Rental LTD will check the documents to make sure I am the actual owner of the flat, then, they will send you an invoice.
4 – At this point you'll have to pay the money for the first month and the security deposit ( 600 Euro ) to AllMac Shop Rental LTD, according to the instructions from the invoice.
This will be a guarantee that they don't send an agent all the way to your country for a joke. The deposit will be just a formality, and it will not commit you to renting the flat.
The money will remain in the custody of AllMac Shop Rental LTD until you have checked the flat and confirmed that everything is ok.
5 – At this point you will have to go to a Western Union Agent Location and make a money transfer deposit on the AllMac Shop Rental LTD agent name in London assigned with this transaction for the amount we agreed, the total amount you shall deposit is for the first month of rent and security deposit.
After you pay the deposit, and send them the details, AllMac Shop Rental LTD will send an agent to your country in the next 24-48 hours (Monday to Friday) to meet you and help you inspect the flat. .
You can also decide which date and time will fit your schedule best for the inspection.
7 – If you will be satisfied with the flat, you will sign a copy of the contract and pay the first month of rent to the agent. (the following rents will be paid directly to my account)
However, if you are not pleased with the apartment for any reason, the AllMac Shop Rental LTD agent will give you the money back on the spot, and I will get my keys and documents back.
I will pay for the services of the agency, so there will be no extra costs for you.
Also, in case you have another apartment right now, and you cannot move out immediately, we can make the deal as I explained it now, and consider it only an inspection and reservation. You will move in when you are ready and pay the first rent then.
If you want to begin, please give me the details which I requested above, so I can make the arrangements.
I am waiting for your quick response, because there are several others interested in the apartment, and I need to know if I can count on a deal with you.
Very Important: Western Union is just a method of payment , they are not authorized to give you any information about this transaction for your security.You just have to do a normal money transfer to a person (AllMac Shop Rental LTD agent).Only AllMac Shop Rental LTD has access to this transaction for more security.

Best greetings!


and another scammer


Hello,

First of all i'm sorry to write you in english but i don't speak portugal. I just read your e-mail regarding my apartment located in : Rua da constituição 275, 4000 Porto. It has 3 rooms : 2 bedrooms, 1 bathrooms, 1 kitchen and 1 living room (81m2 ).
I bought this apartment for my daughter during her studies in Portugal, but now she's back home (Manchester/Uk) permanently, so I'm renting the place for unlimited time.
Before we go any further I would like to know a little something about you, like how many persons you intend to live in the apartment, and for how long.
The flat is exactly like in the pictures, fully furnished and renovated. Also, very important, the utilities (cold/hot water, electricity, wireless broadband Internet, digital TV, 1 parking spots, dishwasher, garbage disposal, microwave, refrigerator, washing machine, etc.) are INCLUDED in the price of 300 EUR/month. The kaution is also EUR 300,00, and you get it back, when you decide to leave the apartment (you will have to give me at least 30 days notice). As for me, you can rest assured that I will never ask you to leave the apartment. My daughter is building her life here, and i am too old to move to Portugal, so we won't disturb you.
You can use my furniture, or you can also use your own if you prefer. If you decide to use yours, you will have access to a very large and well ventilated cellar, where you can store my furniture.
Now, a little bit about myself so we can get to know each other better. My name is Carolina Pirozzi and I'm a 58 years old graphic designer from Manchester/Uk, planning to retire in the next 2 years.
I have a lovely husband,David and a 25 year old daughter, Linda. I am very proud to say that soon I'm going to be a grandmother . Another member of our family is a 8 year old Labrador which we all love, so, I have no problem if you will keep pets.
The only inconvenience is that my job doesn't allow me to leave Manchester even for one single day. We just hired some new staff and I'm in charge of their training.
But this won't affect you at all. I can make arrangements to rent the apartment from Manchester/Uk (on my expense of course).

Looking forward to hear from you soon.

All the best from Manchester!
