Hi everybody.
I am not sure if I am being scammed or not - I just really think so!
Some days ago I posted an ad at the site "Gumtree" saying I was looking for a place/room in London. I got this reply:
"Hi,
I apologize for not replying you so fast,just that i got busy with work after sending you the other email. The property is still available for rent,and in there are pictures of how the property looks like,but here are further elucidation about the property. The property is a building with beautiful surroundings,and i strongly believe it's a property anybody will love to live in,because it is kept very clean and well decorated in an attractive modern style. It is a property with a classic spacious living room,With THREE master bedrooms which all has an in built bathroom and toilet,including it's standard kitchen.a kitchen every lady will love to make use of,my wife never wanted us to vacate the property due to the settings of the kitchen. It is a kitchen every lady will love to cook in,and the property has every necessary homely facilities you might be in need of. The property comprises of reception hallway,large bright lounge with a dining space,also with luxury fully integrated kitchen,separated bedrooms,both with fitted wardrobes,master with en suite shower room with designer sanitary ware, separate bathroom with over bath shower and utility cupboard.gas central heating.double glazing and private residents parking space. As well as you won't have to worry about the location of the property,because it is located in a preferable area in Dunstable Road, Richmond TW9 1UH,with very good transport link.
Rent...350pm...Deposit..400
Regards"
At the beginning it all looked very, very good! It was just the place for me, a beautiful place to a fair amount of money! But then he started saying he wanted proof that I could pay the rent, and that the proof had to be me sending money (via Western Union), to myself, and then we would figure things out when I got there. I immediately went to this side and read a lot about scams, and I am almost 100% sure, that this is a scam!
I just thought you all should know this!
