Room for Rent and other rental scams

Dear all,

I had this person try to scam me by sending me this email. Never send your passport copy and always take their phone number, not just talk on skype. This is her message:-

Hello,

Thanks for the email. I am sorry it has taken a while before I replied
or sent this message, I have so many people interested, hence so many
emails to reply in a day and it is quite stressful considering the
fact that I have a job that stresses me already. :) heheheheee. Know
it or not, we have started on an interesting journey. We might
eventually turn out to be flatmates and maybe not but please I would
really appreciate if you would be straightforward with me and be ready
and serious and not be a timewaster. I have a three bedroom apartment
and I am looking at renting either one or two of the rooms.

I stay in one room in the apartment and the two rooms are empty now as
my last roommate just moved out last week and has since sent me the
keys. My apartment is vacant and I want to get new flatmates. My name
is Sara Allinger, I am and Austrian Female and I am 23 years old. I
work as a trainee medical examiner with the United Nations and I have
been privileged to travel to some countries with my group and my team
to assist people in some countries. I have been working with them for
one year now and I am the youngest. :). I reside in my apartment and I
am also a live-in landlord, although, on paper, my Mother is the owner
of the apartment but it is me who decides who stays in the apartment.
I have been staying here alone for three years now and I have been
renting out the room since then, I am looking for a responsible person
who can take care of my apartment like his/her own property, so i hope
you will promise me to take very good care of the apartment. So get
back to me on how you could take care of my apartment or perhaps
experience you have in renting home. I would also like to know things
about yourself too, let me get to know you.

FACILITIES IN MY APARTMENT.

A small fridge in the room
Access to use the Kitchen and a big freezer in the kitchen
All rooms are fully furnished
A big TV with Cable TV available in all rooms
Phone cord
Internet WIFI (Wireless)
A big double bed
private bath and toilet in each rooms
Car parking space
Laundry room for washing.

The rent for the room is 400euro and you are to pay a security deposit
of 600euro. This security deposit is just a caution fee and will be
returned to you when you want to move out of the apartment, okay? You
are allowed to bring in visitors and guests and if they want to sleep
over, you will need to tell me first okay?

My address is: Schießstättstraße 2, 80339 München

So, tell me more about yourself and also GOOGLE the location of my
house and let me know if the location suits you and if this is okay
for you in terms of distance from your work or school or closeness to
the city center.

Looking forward to hearing from you so that I can send you the
pictures of my apartment and the room and we can proceed to the
tenement agreement contract and also getting keys for you to move in,

Thanks,

Sara.
