Hello there,

Thanks for showing interest in my apartment. Details of my apartment
is as follows:

Location: Willemoesgade 20 2100 København, Denmark
Size: about 95sqm and 1.2km distance to its metro station.
cost: 3500DKK per month including all the bills plus 3700DKK security
deposit which is refundable while parking out without any lost or
damage of my property.
Availability: both long and short terms

It is a fully furnished 1 Bedroom + 1 Living room + 1 equipped Kitchen
with lots of facilities such as: Wireless internet facilities, Phone,
TV,Microwave, Dish washer, washing machine, Dryer, Refrigerator etc
Parking space in the building. The utility room and the bills is
included in the rent amount and also you will be using all the
facility alone without sharing with anybody only if you have visitors
or friends.

Meanwhile, there is a crucial need for me to tell you that at the
moment, I am not available in town(Copenhagen). I am currently
residing in UK and this is more so \i need to rent out my apartment. I
am suggesting that you can go have a look at the building as well as
its environment. Please, it must be noted that you shall no have
access to the place as I have my set of keys with me here. Please,
bear with me for any kind of inconveniences this may cause.

I think I have been able to give you the details you'll need. Attached
are some pictures of how its inside is. If you are still interested in
renting my Apartment Kindly get back to me so that i can tell you on
how to get it reserved.

Best Regards
Andrean


in the next mail he wrote

Also,I would like to put my trust in you. And, please can I trust you
too? for proper taking care of the apartment for me? Well, for you to
get the place reserved we will both sign a rental agreement contract
which will be prepared by my Legal Adviser then i will post the keys
of the apartment and the payment receipt to you via DHL or FEDEX
express (1-2 days delivery ) after your deposit payment which is your
first month rent and the security deposit has been confirmed.

Do get back to me with the below information so I can get acquainted
with you at least know you......

where are you from?
Where are you presently?
what is your experience in renting an apartment?
Do you have any close relative there?
Do you smoke?
Do you have pets?
Do you take drugs?
Your gender?
Current mobile contact no?
Who pays the rent?

Please make sure you send me your correct current address because i
would use that in posting down the keys and the payment receipt to you
after we must have concluded the contract. I hope to read from you and
possibly hear via phone may be.

Thanks

even if i wrote who i am with who i come and that i have a dog.

Welcome to ScamWarners ada It is a scam. Scammers always claim they are out of the country, but will send the keys to you once you pay. They cannot show the flat /apartment to you because it is not theirs. They pull photos off of real lisings as well as the address.

You can right click on the image and use tineye.com or google photos to see where the photos came from.

Please post up the email address the scammer used and If you know how, the headers. Instructions for finding the headers are in my signature below.
