Hello,

First of all I'm sorry for the late reply but I had a lot to work
and this is the time I could give you a message. From the site add,
you could see, that the apartment located in:Nesenbachstraße
50,Mitte 70178 Stuttgart Germany. It has 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom, 1
kitchen and 1 living room .
I am looking for someone to live in it, as soon as possible,
because my company has won the auction for a project, in
construction, for a building that will rise up in Nicosia / Cyprus.
I am a civil engineer, so my accommodation period in Nicosia,Cyprus
will be about 4 years. The renting period is from 2 months up to 4
years. As a result of this I want to rent, for this period, at this
price and also to find the perfect person for my apartment. I`m the
owner of the apt and it's like in the pics.The
apartment is furnished, but I have the option of sending all my
> furniture into storage if you want to bring your own (no extra
costs). The rent for 1 month is 370 Euro, but you must to deposit
740euro/2months (for the whole apartment) including all utilities
(water, electricity, Internet, cable, parking, air
conditioning,dishwasher, garbage disposal, microwave,
refrigerator). You can move in the apt in the same day when you
receive the keys. The only problem is that I`m the only person who
has the keys but I hope that we will find a solution.
Thank you for your interest and I will look forward to hearing from
you soon. Good luck, Johan Piter P.S. Please tell me if this
is what are you looking for and reply my only if you are truly
interested in the aptartment.


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.
