Hi,
I am so happy to read back from you. Firstly i want you to know that the apartment is still available for rent and you can share it with you friend.
Below are some vital information you need to know about my apartment. It cost 500euro per month together with all bills such as water, electricity,
internet connection,water available, microwave oven,washing with dryer,fridge,gas, bed,linen,pilllows,blanket, and also a 500euro security
deposit payment which is refundable while packing out of my apartment if there is no damage or loss of my properties.
The apartment is situated at 10 Ingemarsgatan,11354 Stockholm,Sweden and it is close to its metro station,my apartment is spacious, it is about 70sqm in size and a room is about 30sqm. there are restaurant and public transport all around and it's 3mins walking distance to the supermarket, so it's located in a very nice and safe area in Stockholm.
I attached some pics of my apartment so that you can see how the place looks like. I will wait to read back from you if you are interested in renting my apartment so that we can proceed.
You can simply reach me on +380939006593 for further discussion on the apartment.
Best regards,

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.
Thanks for the mail, Attached is the signed contract. Kindly print it out, sign it and have it scanned back to me.
I am also happy to have your current address with me as i will post down the keys to your address via DHL express courrier
service (1-2 day delivery) as soon as i confirm your payment today. Below is my information needed to make the payment to me via western union:
Name: Georgios Lazaridis
Address: Matrosava 2b,Lugansk,Ukraine.
Kindly get back to me with the senders name, senders address, and the 10 digits MTCN( money transfer control number). You can also send me a scanned copy of the payment receipt from western union. Once i get the information from you today, i will go ahead with the posting of the keys today and also send you the shipment code . I wish you a very happy stay in my apartment.
I shall be waiting for the signed copy of the contract and that of the payment receipt from western union.
Best regards.
Engr Georgios.
