Hello,

Thank you for your reply but the matter is that I'm in Liverpool already. Like I have inform you before, the price you shall pay on the first month of rent will be 300 EUR + 300 security deposit ( 600 euro ), with no extra taxes to pay. I must have one month rent + security deposit from you. The money, I want to recive it monthly to my bank account, so I hope it will be no problem for you to wire the money to my bank account. The apartment is ready for you, you will need only to receive the keys and the contract to check it, and see if you like it. Obviously we need a way to complete this deal, that will allow us to make sure we receive what we are after. In order of that I have found a way for us to complete the deal safely and fast, and in this way you will receive the Keys in less than 2 days, if you move fast as well. The solution is provided by a rental company called DeWitt Rental Company which is similar to FedEx or UPS, which will handle both payment and delivery of the Keys. I have found a procedure that will allow you receive the keys of it and through this way you will see it and decide if you will stay in the apt or not before I receive my payment. Please click on the link bellow to the DeWitt Rental Company website to see how we can complete the deal safely and fast directly from the website of the company where the procedure is explained:

Let me know if you are interested please because I really need to take care of this matter.

Thanks and have a good day



Also, he posted a few pictures of an apartment on this website (http://www.immobilienscout24.de/de/find ... 1323186988)
and then, when I asked him to show me more pictures of the apartment, he sent me pictures that were completely different from the ones on the website.

I want to thank you again for letting me know that this person is a thief and that the website for that Dewitt
company is fake.

Best Regards.

Hi, I receive the same:

Hello,

I appreciate your intent of renting my apartment located in : Rorgängargatan 12, 120 70 Stockholm - Sweden. The apartment have: 1 bedroom, 1 living room, 1 bathroom and 1 kitchen. I bought this apartment for my son during he studies in Sweden., but now he's back home ( Bristol / United Kingdom ) permanently, so I'm renting the place for unlimited time. Before we go any further 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 6500 SEK(750 EUR) 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 6500 SEK(750 EUR), 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 his life and now he will go with his wife in Portugal to make them business, and about me I am too old to move to Sweden, so we won't disturb you. You can use my furniture, or you can also use your own if you prefer.I have the option of sending all my furniture into storage if you want to bring your own (no extra costs). Now, a little bit about myself so we can get to know each other better. My name is Peter Shawn 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 have pets. 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.

Peter Shawn

Hello ,

Thank you for your reply but the matter is that I'm in United Kingdom already. Like I have inform you before, the price you shall pay on the first month of rent will be 6500 SEK(750 EUR) + 6500 SEK(750 EUR) security deposit ( 13000SEK/1500EUR ), with no extra taxes to pay. I must have one month rent + security deposit from you. The money, I want to receive it monthly to my bank account, so I hope it will be no problem for you to wire the money to my bank account. The apartment is ready for you, you will need only to receive the keys and the contract to check it, and see if you like it. Obviously we need a way to complete this deal, that will allow us to make sure we receive what we are after. In order of that I have found a way for us to complete the deal safely and fast, and in this way you will receive the Keys in less than 2 days, if you move fast as well. The solution is provided by a rental company called FOXTONS RENTALS which is similar to FedEx or UPS, which will handle both payment and delivery of the Keys.
I have found a procedure that will allow you receive the keys of it and through this way you will see it and decide if you will stay in the apt or not before I receive my payment. To start this transaction, I need your full name, address, city, postal code and telephone number. I will also need to know the rental period and the day you want to move in so I can put it in the contract. I will pay for the services of the agency, so there will be no extra costs for you. Also, in case you have another apartment right now, and you cannot move out immediately, we can make the deal as I explained it now, and consider it only an inspection and reservation.

I am waiting for your quick response, because there are several others interested in the apartment, and I need to know if I can count on a deal with you.
