So good to read from you regarding to my apartment for rent, which is still vacant before i left for Spain with my teaching career.
I & my Fiancé have decided to lease out the apartment because we need a good tenant who will take good care of the maintenance & cleanliness of the apartment while we are abroad. If you notice, you will discovered that the price we are offering is far below standard price, this is enough for you to know that we are not after the rental fee but the maintenance..
I know there is no way I can be sure that you are the right person to live in the apartment because we won't be able to see physical before sending you the keys and the documents to occupy the flat but i just had a feeling that anyone who knows what it takes to put this kind of structure down, should know that maintaining an apartment is mandatory, so if you belief you can take good care of the apartment and handle it like yours then I will be more than happy to let you rent the flat.
The apartment comprises of 2bedrooms with separate kitchen, All queen size bed in the bedrooms, All kinds of electronics are available in the apartment, including a PlayStation3 video Game. All kitchen utilities are available including washer & dryer.
The exact address of the apartment is Voßstraße 1, 10117 Berlin, Germany? and the rental is €500 monthly.
There is a parking space available. I await your response.
Regards
Emery Karen
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.
All the details such as names, addresses, pictures etc. that the scammer uses in order to back up his story, are stolen from elsewhere.
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.
