Rental Scammer - [email protected]

Hello, currently looking for an apartement to rent in ireland, an amazing apartement was to let at a ridiculous price. I emailed the landlord, and got an answer today.

Hello,

I just read your e-mail regarding my apartment located in : 6 Hynes Yard, Merchants Road, Galway. It has 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom and 1 kitchen. I bought this apartment for my daughter during her studies in Ireland, but now she's back home 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 and renovated. Also, very important, the utilities (cold/hot water, electricity, wireless broadband Internet, digital TV, 1 parking spots, dishwasher, garbage disposal, microwave, refrigerator, washing machine, etc.) are INCLUDED in the price of 500EURO/month. As for me, you can rest assured that I will never ask you to leave the apartment. My daughter is building her life here, and i am too old to move to Ireland, so we won't disturb you.
You can use my furniture, or you can also use your own if you prefer. If you decide to use yours, you will have access to a very large and well ventilated cellar, where you can store my furniture.
Now, a little bit about myself so we can get to know each other better. My name is Brice Doucet and I'm a 58 years old graphic designer from London /United Kingdom, planning to retire in the next 2 years.
I have a lovely wife,Sarah and a 25 year old daughter, Maria. I am very proud to say that soon I'm going to be a grandfather . Another member of our family is a 8 year old Labrador which we all love, so, I have no problem if you will keep pets.
The only inconvenience is that my job doesn't allow me to leave London even for one single day. We just hired some new staff and I'm in charge of their training.
But this won't affect you at all. I can make arrangements to rent the apartment from London (on my expense of course).

Looking forward to hear from you soon.

All the best from United Kingdom!

I'm currently in France, and this kind of answer is a No-Go in our country, I don't really know how it works in UK or Ireland, so I googled the mylife part (I have a lovely wife,Sarah and a 25 year old daughter, Maria.), scammers are rarely original about this.
And the first result was a link to another rent scam :

So thank you for your website, without it I could have sent infos about myself

Keep up the good work !
