Hello,

Thank you very much for your interest!

My full name is Rebecka Solvig, I’m 37 years old and
I worked as a
lawyer in Stockholm but my contract period there
expired a few months
ago and now I've moved back in my born city
Athens/ Greece where I've
opened my own lawyer office.Due to this
fact, so I'm renting the
apartment from 1 month up unlimited time.I
have available the apartment
located in zone Hornstull, Borgargatan
18, etage 4, 117 34 Stockholm,
Sweden.It has 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom,
1 kitchen and has 100m2.

I want to rent it because I tried
to sell but I could not obtain a good
price (due the financial
crisis) so I've decided with my family to rent
it to a good
person.The price for rent 1 month is SEK 4.300 with no
extra taxes
and also includes all utilities:water, electricity, gas,
internet,
A/C, TV, microwave, washing machine, refrigerator,
elevator.The
apartment is fully furnished and fully equipped.As I said
before I'm
in Athens and I'm the only person who have the keys
and all papers
from apartment but I have a solution to solve this
problem, don't
worry.


Thank you and I will look forward to
hear from you soon!

Best sincerely,

Rebecka


This person asks for a deposit payment via Western Union, MoneyGram or bank transfer 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.
