Hello,

I appreciate your intent of renting my apartment located in : Rue Charles Quint 94 , 1000 , Bruxelles , Belgium . The apartment have: 1 bedrooms, 1 bathrooms, 1 kitchen. I bought this apartment for my son during he studies in Belgium, but now he's back home ( Bristol / 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 equipped and renovated. Also, very important, the utilities water hot/cold, electricity, heating, gas, Internet, cable, parking space, dishwasher, garbage disposal, are included in the price of 310 Euro per month and I believe it is convenient for us both. All the bills will be paid by me and you have to pay only the money for the rent in every month. The security deposit is also 310 Euro, and you get it back, when you decide to leave the apartment ( you will have to give me at least 2 moths 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 now he will go with him wife in Portugal to make them bussines, and about me I am too old to move to Belgium, so we won't disturb you. You can use my furniture, or you can also use your own if you prefer. Now, a little bit about myself so we can get to know each othe better. My name is Darrel Wotton and I'm a 59 years old Neuro-Oncology doctor from Bristol / United Kingdom ( North Bristol NHS Trust ), planning to retire in the next 5 years. I have no problem if you will keep animals. The only inconvenience is that my job doesn't allow me to leave Bristol even for one single day. But this won't affect you at all. I can make arrangements to rent the apartment from Bristol (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, 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.


The scammer uses a fake tracking website in order to convince the victim to pay.
