Hello again,

You seem to be a very nice person and I can assure you we will not have any problems .

I have inform you before, the price you shall pay for the first month of rent will be 650 Euro ( money for the first month in which you move in apartment ) and I want also security deposit ( Kaution ) 1000 Euro, in total in the first month you have to pay 1650 Euro without additional charges to pay. The money for the next months (650 euro) I want to receive monthly in my bank account, so I hope it will be no problem for you to wire money.

I'm willing to send you the keys so you can visit and check the apartment. The delivery for the keys and the rental contract (signed by me), will be made by AirBnb ( www.airbnb.com ), they will also help us to make a third party transaction so you can therefore feel safe about this deal.

To start the transaction with the AirBnb you need to send me all this details:

Full name:
Address:
City:
Postal Code:
Country:
Mobile phone number:
Date you want to move in the apartment:
Rental period that you want to stay:

Now let me to explain you how the transaction it works:

After I received all this details, I can go to AirBnb office and start the transaction. When they will have the keys and the real estate company on them custody, they will send you a delivery notification, in which they tell you that they have the keys and that they checked it.

When you receive the delivery notification from AirBnb, you will have to go your bank office and make a bank transfer on the AirBnb in United Kingdom, assigned with this transaction for the amount we agreed ( 1650 Euro ). If you don` have time to go to your bank office you can make the payment online to the bank account of the AirBnb. I must to tell you that the payment must to be made in 24 hours or early after the transaction was started.

After you make the deposit you will have to send to AirBnb the payment confirmations from bank money transfer, so they can know that you already made the deposit. AirBnb will verify the payment and if everything is in order they will delivery the keys and the rental contract to you in 48 Hours. AirBnb will send to you an agent at your house door, and that person will come with you to visit the apartment to see that all is right. If you will be satisfied with the flat, you will sign the rental contract. However, if you are not pleased with the apartment for any reason, the agent will give your money back immediately, and I will get my keys and documents back ( I will write on the rental contract this condition, to be sure that you will get your money back ).

Also, in case you have another apartment right now, and you can't move immediately, we can make the deal as I explained it now, and consider it only an inspection and reservation until you will be able to move there.

I will pay for the services of the agency, so there will be no costs for you.

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.

Kind Regards!


This Scammer will arrange to send you an Invoice or notification - Make no mistake, the document will be fake!
If you are reading this because you -have received such an invoice or notification, kindly forward it to the address in my signature line and I will report the details to the appropriate authorities.

Hello,
He wrote the text in German (‘couse I’m German), he’s scamming people in Bremen,Germany to buy cheap apartments. I was kinda concerned about the ad, because most of the apartments there cost twice as much! So here you go that’s his mail. (I just GoogleTranslated his text. English Version first and the original text is underneath)

Hi there,

First, I'm sorry that I'm using an online translator to write to you, because my German is very bad.
If you can speak English I would appreciate it.
The place is equipped with air conditioning, dishwasher, stove, fridge, washing machine, LED TV, vacuum cleaner, etc
The additional costs (water, electricity, WIFI, digital TV, an underground parking space) are included in the "warm rent" of EUR 550 / month.
The "deposit" of 550 euros, returned when you move out (I will need a notice of 30 days).
I allow pets in the house because I have one myself.
The building is in very good condition and there is an elevator.
The apartment I inherited from my grandfather who died 2 years ago. I live in London/UK with my family and we don't use the apartment. This is the reason I decide to rent it.
I can rent it for short or long term. from 1 month to 10 years.
Well, a little about me: My name is Lukas and I'm a 50 year old doctor from London / UK
Unfortunately, my job won't allow me to do any hiking for the next few months, so I won't be able to come and meet you in person for a while.
However, this will not affect the rent at all. The property is managed by a real estate agency and they will take care of the whole process. I will take your commission.
So if you are interested I would like to know how many people you intend to share the apartment with and for how long. Any further details about yourself would be appreciated.
I hope the email wasn't too long, I just like to be as thorough as possible.

Greetings from Great Britain !

Hallo,

Zuerst tut mir leid, dass ich mit einem Online-Übersetzer, Ihnen zu schreiben, weil mein Deutsch ist sehr schlecht.
Wenn Sie Englisch sprechen kann, würde ich es begrüßen.
Der Ort ist mit Klimaanlage, Geschirrspüler, Herd, Kühlschrank, Waschmaschine, LED-TV, Staubsauger usw. ausgestattet
Die Nebenkosten (Wasser, Strom, WIFI, Digital-TV, ein Tiefgaragenplatz) werden in der "Warmmiete" von 550 Euro EUR / Monat inklusive.
Die "Kaution" von 550 Euro, zurückerstattet, wenn Sie ausziehen (Ich werde eine Frist von 30 Tagen müssen).
Ich erlaube Haustiere im Haus, weil ich habe mir ein.
Das Gebäude ist in einem sehr guten Zustand und es gibt einen Aufzug.
Die Wohnung, die ich von meinem Großvater, der vor 2 Jahren gestorben vererbt. Ich lebe in London / Großbritannien mit meiner Familie und wir haben nicht die Wohnung zu verwenden. Dies ist der Grund, dass ich mich entscheide, es zu mieten.
Ich kann es für kurz-oder langfristig zu mieten. zwischen 1 Monat bis zu 10 Jahren.
Nun, ein wenig über mich: Mein Name ist Lukas und ich bin ein 50-jährige Arzt aus London / Großbritannien
Leider ist mein Job mir nicht erlauben, jede Wander für die nächsten paar Monate, so dass ich nicht in der Lage, sich persönlich für eine Weile kommen und Sie zu treffen.
Dies wird jedoch nicht auf die Miete überhaupt. Das Anwesen ist von einem Immobilienagentur verwaltet, und sie kümmert sich um den gesamten Prozess zu nehmen. Ich werde ihre Provision.
Also, wenn Sie interessiert sind, würde Ich mag wissen, wie viele Personen Sie beabsichtigen, die Wohnung mit zu teilen, und für wie lange. Alle weiteren Details über sich selbst wäre willkommen.
Ich hoffe, dass die E-Mail war nicht zu lang, Ich mag nur so gründlich wie möglich zu sein.

Freundliche Grüße aus Großbritannien !
