Bogus Apartment Scam in Basel - [email protected]

PLEASE DO NOT SEND ANY MONEY TO THIS CON ARTIST. Bizarrely, they forgot that they were supposed to be responding about Brussels.

They have posted an ad on eu-rentals, so I have reported them on that site too.

It's very easy to spot this scam, if you simply paste a paragraph or 2 into a google search. The name they are using for this scam is Kellykew Dennisss and the email address [email protected], but be mindful that they change these details on a per scam basis almost.

you can rent my apartment for as long or short as you want because presently am in UK i was just been transferred by my company last week down here to work that's why am renting out my apartment you can go to my apartment address and see it just that you wont gain full entrance into the apartment because its locked and am here with the keys that's why i sent you my apartment pics i took before i traveled so that you can have an idea of how the inside looks like...presently nobody is inside you will be living in my apartment alone they are all private use to you alone....

If you notice, you will discover that the price we are offering is far below standard price, this is enough for you to know that we are not after the rental fee but the absolute care for the property.my apartment Fully Furnished and well decorated.. there is washing machine and a towels

i do normally make use of an agent or friends but due to the way they cheat on my tenants that's the reason why i decided to travel with my keys.....
