>Hello,
>
>First of all i'm sorry to write you in English but I don't speak German. I
appreciate your intent of renting my apartment located in : Neue Schönhauser
Straße 17, 10178, Berlin, Germany. The apartment have: 2 bedrooms, 1 bathrooms,
1 kitchen and 1 living room. I bought this apartment for my son during he
studies in Germany, but now he's back home (Preston/United Kingdom)
permanently, so I'm renting the place for unlimited time. Before we go any
furthe I would like to know a little something about you, like how many persons
you intend to live in the apartment, and for how long. The flat is exactly like
in the pictures, fully furnished and renovated. Also, very important, the
utilities (cold/hot water, electricity, gas, heating, wireless broadband
Internet, digital TV, 1 parking spots, dishwashe, garbage disposal, microwave,
refrigerator, washing machine, etc.) are included in the price of 300 Euro per
month and i believe it is convenient for us both. All the bills will be pai!
>d by me and you have to pay only the money for the rent in every month. The
security deposit ( Kaution ) is also 300 Euro, and you get it back, when you
decide to leave the apartment (you will have to give me at least 30 days
notice). As for me, you can rest assured that I will never ask you to leave the
apartment. My son is building him life here, and I am too old to move to
Germany, so we won't disturb you. You can use my furniture, or you can also use
your own if you prefer. If you decide to use yours, you will have access to a
very large and well ventilated cellar, where you can store my furniture. Now, a
little bit about myself so we can get to know each othe better. My name is
Michael Somenov and I'm a 56 years old doctor pedriathic from Preston / United
Kingdom ( working to Alder Hey Children's Hospital ), planning to retire in the
next 6 years. I have no problem if you will keep animals. The only
inconvenience is that my job doesn't allow me to leave Preston even for o!
>ne single day. But this won't affect you at all. I can make arrangements to
rent the apartment from Preston (on my expense of course).
>
>Thank you for your interest and I will look forward to hearing from you soon.

>P.S. Please tell me if this is what are you looking for and reply my only if
you are truly interested in the apt.

This person asks for a deposit payment via Western Union or MoneyGram with a promise that you can have the keys to a property that does not belong to him.

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.
