Hi,
I appreciate your intent of renting my apartment located in: Archimedesstraat 93, 1000 Brussel - Belgium. The apartment have: 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom and 1 kitchen. I bought this apartment for my son during he studies in Belgium, 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 350 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 350 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 Belgium, 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 Dr Melanie Lockett and I'm a 57 years old Gastroeneterology 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.
Dr Melanie Lockett
P.S: Please tell me if this is what are you looking for and reply my only if you are truly interested in the apt.
The thief will tell you that you can rent his accommodation only if you can prove that you have genuine interest. He will ask you send money by a Money Transfer Service to yourself or a member of the family to show that you have sufficient finances and that you are not a "time waster".
Another variation of this scam is that you need to send money in order that the keys and other documents can be couriered to you
He will ask you to send him the transfer details.
Make no mistake ! These transfers can be picked up virtually anywhere in the world and with the minimum of identification. They are almost impossible to trace once the money has been collected. You will never get to see the accommodation or your money 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 Gumtree or similar listing sites. If you receive any requests from 'Landlords' asking for some kind of payment by Western Union or other Money Transfer Services 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.
