I've found that the above email address is a scammer from another site Gumtree.com http://forums.gumtree.com/topic170628.html

Below is the email sent to me:

The room Includes: * Internet service. * Shower / Bathroom, sink and toilet. * TV. * Kettle. * Cupboards / wardrobes. * Fridge * Fresh and sterilized blanket / bed linen and pillowcase. * Central heating. *Double glazing. Kitchen Includes: * Cooker with oven/grill. *Washing machine. * Microwave. * Toaster. * Kettle. * Fridge. * Storage area. * Iron & Iron Board
Extra: Included in the rate. The apartment is cleaned once a week free of charge by a maid, but she can clean every day (on request) and change of clean bed sheets and pillow case etc¡¬, also you would not have to worry about all the bills like gas, electric, water and council tax, since the rent is all inclusive.
