The apartment is located at Haltenhoffstr. 28, 30167 Hannover-Nordstadt - Immediately available
We are trying to find a tenant for this property ASAP, first-come-first-serve basis
My name is Justin Atkinson (45 years) , i live in United Kingdom, but my daughter Giselle graduated in Germany this year. I bought this apartment 4 years ago for her and her fiance.Now they have returned home and have found a good job here.I want to rent this apartment because some money are welcome since it is free, anyone living there and sell it in 4-5 years. Maybe if you are interested we can discuss further about it and I can make you a good price.
If you are 100% interested in renting my flat,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.If you are still interested to rent my apartment just answer me and i will give you more details .
With regards, Justin !
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.
