brother's room.The house is fully furnished.It is located at
Fuglevadsvej 30, 2800 Kongens Lyngby.Our house is about 3minutes walk
from train station(Fuglevad st)You will share the apartment with a
23years female student who will move in August 20th.The room is available
till July 2013.Minimum rent is one month.
It has all it takes to make a home like tv,dvd player,cable, high
speed internet,modern heating system,washing machine,dish,washer parking
space for a car,electricity.It will be a home away from home for
you.What matters to us most is good conduct staying there taking care of
the house as if it is yours.
The room is DKK2800 per month all
utilities with refundable DKK4000 security deposit.You will make deposit
of DKK1500 which is part of the DKK4000 refundable security deposit if
you really want us to reserve the room for you,this is to assure us that
you are serious in taking the room.So that my dad will come to Denmark
to receive you into the house and collect your balance in cash.We have
had some bad experiences in the past where my dad scheduled to meet with
people but on arriving Denmark none of them came money,energy and time
wasted.Since them my dad maintained that anybody that wants to rent our
house must make deposit before he
will leave UK to Denmark.

This person asks 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 either to him, your friend or a family member.
Sounds safe. It's not!
At other times, this person asks for a deposit payment via Western Union or Moneygram with the promise that they will send the keys through a courier company.
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.
