Hi,

I've got a similar case and the email address is [email protected]. This is what i received:

"Hello,
Thanks for your kind response and interest you derived to rent my apartment, i'm very delighted to rent you my apartment.

It's very much available for rent now both in short and long term rent. It's fully furnished apartment that contains modern facilities, it's located at Westendstraße 75, 80339 München, Germany, situated at the second floor of the building..It's in a very nice, quiet environment and safe area to live.

It is spacious apartment of about 90square meters in size, it's contain two bedrooms and each room has it's own private bathroom and toilet, spacious living room that contains DVD,Cable TV, sound system, computer with high speed internet connection (broadband),land line phone with well equipped new kitchen with modern facilities such as Electrical dryer, dish washer,washing machine,refridgerator, microwave and oven and there is secure parking space for car. The apartment available in either one bedroom or whole apartment for both short and long term contract depends on your interest

Therefore, i attach pictures of the apartment to this email, so that you can have an idea of my property before we meet in person...A room will cost 450euros per calender month while the whole apartment is 800euros and the security deposit payment is 900euros which is refundable at the end of the contract...Bills include all charges such as water, gas,heating, electricity and internet etc and there is no extral charges rate...It also possible to rent it unfurnished if you preferred because i have store room to keep my own furniture.

Let me tell you few things about me....I'm Praton Kelly, owner of apartment address describle above, i married with a british woman and i have a daughter, so am presently in UK due to new contract here in England..I'm earning my living with my families here in England, I'm a software developer Engr.

I'll be making an arrangement with you to have the view of my property after you show me your full interest to rent my property , i meant proof of your kind interest to rent my apartment because i had been hunted in past with un-serious tenant and this caused me to waste my precious time and money for nothing, so i 've been advised by my attorney not to fly down and meet tenant without confirming his or her full interest to rent my apartment, hope you can understand me and I'm very sorry for any inconvenience that this might caused you OK.

If you're really serious and ready to rent my apartment, please provide your full details such as stated below for your Rental agreement documents so i can forward it to my lawyer in order to prepare your contract documents.

Welcome to ScamWarners yaomin and thank you for posting this information. This is what scammers do and what they claim. It is only a ploy to get a victim to send them money to prove their interest.

Your best course is to deal in person and never send payments by Western Union to someone you met on the internet.
