FEW DESCRIPTIONS;

Close to
Shops: very close.
In Daumesnil's square area, in the 12th district of Paris, this apartment is ideally located in an animated shopping area, with a bakery and a grocery store at the bottom of the building. At the foot of a market that takes place every Tuesdays and Fridays morning. Close to 2 underground lines (line 6 and 8) that will allow you to easily reach all the areas of Paris, and a taxi station. Only a few minutes to access the A3, A4 and A6 motorways thanks to the beltway surrounding the district.
With wide avenues lined with trees, 10 min walking away from the bois de Vincennes, one of the green areas of the capital city, from Bastille and Nation, and from La Gare de Lyon, this apartment is also very close to many sporting facilities (5 min walking from the Palais Omnisports of Paris Bercy) or of the UGC theatre, passing by the Viaduc des Arts
Kingly get back to me if all terms are agreed on, so that I can forward the booking agreement form and the payment instructions to reserve your date.
Merci,
Jehan.
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.
