Hello.

well the room that i have for rent in my apartment, it is well furnished and comfortable it has a TV connected to a cable,DVD,a double bed for two people conveniently,Large wardrobe storage unit,private toilet and bathroom,parking space,washer and drier, it is air-conditioned,my kitchen is fully equipped also coz i do alot of cooking and so i have microwave,gas cooker,dishwasher,clothes washer and so many for your heating and cooking needs.There is connection to internet via wireless and LAN and also Broadband as well for your computing purpose,so you can come with your laptop.

well the price is 350 euro excluding utilities. However,for utilities which includes:water,gas refill,electricity bill,laundry,parking space and internet charges as well and there are lots more which are not included amounts 50euro including council tax as well So the total to pay monthly is about 400 euro including utilities charges.

Being a first timer in my flat,a security deposit of 600 euro from you as requested by my Lawyer which is to serve as a guarantee of safety of my room either in my presence or absence,which is refundable at the end of your stay in the room if nothing was destroyed either by you or any of your guest who might come in the future.

SO Get back to me if you still interested in renting from me.

Look forward to hear from you.

Thanks

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, MoneyGram or bank transfer either to him, his lawyer, 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.

How you doing today hope you fine well am happy you really want to rent for me because my apartment is still vacant but now you want to show some commitment by paying the security deposit that means i now have a new flat mate which is you.

Well the real amount you are to pay is 1000Euros sorry about the mistake and you can make the security deposit before you arrive to Paris to my Lawyers Bank account in other to secure the apartment and for you to be sure that the apartment has been reserved for you prior your arrival.

There is no problem if you want to stay in my apartment once you get to Paris since you will be securing the apartment i really don't have problem with that.

Yes my Lawyer is in Spain and below is his name and address you asked for

And also am the real owner of the apartment so the rentals is done by me i relocated from Germany down here to Paris because i want to continue my study here in Paris and also Job I am a young female professional born in North of France, I have a bachelor's degree in environmental science in University of Paris.I have a lovely family but all far away from me, Lost my Father some years back really don't want to talk about it,and my mother has been in Essex, London managing my fathers firm and also handling some of our assets. What more do i tell about my family....!!! I have a kid brother and sister who are in school and living with my mother in Essex.

Well i am a non smoker,i love to read and play games,i love computing,cooking and enjoy watching people enjoy my meal and see them happy eating and finishing it,I enjoy going to the beach during weekends and also love music and watch movies at my spare time or go to cinemas,I am a degree holder in Human and environmental sciences and thus i am furthering my career in the university doing my masters as well and working as well as an analyst and a researcher,so i do not stay home that much except weekends mostly Sundays this is due to the fact that i go to school after work daily including Saturdays as well.

Below is the for the bank transfer into my Lawyers account to Spain immediately my Lawyer confirms your payment the original contract document and the receipt will be sent to your address signed which you also you will sign and bring along with you while coming along to my apartment, please do send me a scanned copy of the receipt of payment once you make the transfer.

NB: its written in the agreement form that your money(deposit) will be returned to you after your stay in the house.It is also stated that the tenant has not seen the room physically but has been sent pictures,''If tenant arrives at the room but the pictures look different from what is seen physically,you have the right to act on me and your money will be paid back to in full with transfer charges if so demanded.''
