Subject: APARTMENT VERY MUCH AVAILABLE IN DENMARK
To: Con Warner
Dear Renter
Thank you for your response the content is well understood and the
room will be available for as long as you wish to stay in it. I would
like to know your present location as well
The house is located at Gammel Mont 61, Copenhagen, Denmark
The room is a good size 11x14 inch a big walk in closet. It is a four
bedroom duplex but only 3 rooms is available for rent. The condo has
been recently renovated (new kitchen, bathrooms, trim and paint) it
feels very new and very clean.
I have all the amenities you could possibly want, Gym, in unit W/d,
D/W, all new stainless steel appliances, Internet in every room as
well as wireless, 32" plasma in the family room, etc.
I am a 25
yrs,doing my Phd over here, and the house belongs to my parents
who are currently in the UNITED KINGDOM.
The rent again per month is Eur 300, which includes all utilities to
be paid just once which covers the whole of utilities for the duration
of your stay and a security deposit of Eur 250, which is refundable at
the end of your stay in the room.
The purpose of this money is in case of damages (either by you or any
of your guests). Your money will be refunded in full to you at the end
of your stay in the room if there is no damage to the room or the
fittings.
The transport system is quiet very good as it is located in the heart
of COPENHAGEN and its very close to the train station which makes it
just few minutes to get to the city central and all is just located
within a few minutes walk from the house. The house is also close to
the main shopping malls, groceries, and market and jewelry store all
for you to purchase your basic needs.
Your quickest response shall be highly appreciated to determine your
interest as a flat mate, because there are some other potential renter
interested in my flat but i am considering you based on priority and
honesty. Attached to this email is pictures of the apartment for your
view.
Regards,
Adrien Pinot
This person asks for a deposit payment via Western Union, MoneyGram, pre-paid credit card 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.
