Subject: Anfrage von ......... zum Inserat 1421581 auf studenten-wg.de
Hello,
Thanks for your interest. The apartment is still available.There is no other persons in the house, so you will not have to share the apartment. The registration is allowed.The apartment has the following facilities:Wireless internet facilities,Phone,Microwave,washing machine,Dryer,Refrigerator,bathroom toilet,lounge/living room,kitchen,utility room.
My name is Ronald Bieger,i live in United Kingdom , i have a lovely wife Maria and 25 year old daughter, Lisa. I am very proud to say that soon I’m going to be a Grandmother.I bought this apartment for my daughter during her studies in Germany but now she's back in UK permanently so nobody is there to take care about renting it, so I will just send you the keys and contract using a Estate Delivery Company. They will act as a third party in our transaction.
I hope it's OK with you, since this is the only reliable option.
The price for one mounth is 330 EUR.Of course I would need a deposit as well of 1000 Euro, which you would get back when you will leave the apartment or whenever I feel like I can completely trust you. I have to know a some details about you, like how many persons are you planning to live in the apartment, for how long, if you have a steady income, etc.
If you are still interested to rent my apartment just answer me and i will give you more details .
Thank you and hope to hear back from you.
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.
