I registered on a site, and Sarah contacted me:
"Are you still interested in renting a room in Amsterdam?
Kindly email back so i can send you pics and details of my flat.
Hope to read from you soon.
Regards,
Sarah"
I told her that I do, so I got that mail:
"Thanks for the reply. I do have a 3 bedroom flat and would love to rent out a room in the flat. The second room is been used by a 23yrs old Dutch student while the third room is been used by me.
My flat is located at Nieuwezijdskolk 32, Amsterdam City Center, 1012 PV Amsterdam

As you can imagine, some great pictures. I wrote that I'd like to know something about her, then I got the the following mail:
"Thanks for the reply and the interest in my flat.
A little about myself: Am a 32yrs old lady from the USA. I have been in the Netherlands for over 2yrs now. I work as a public relations officer in a small organization. Am cool, clean, caring, kind, honest, nice, easy going, down to earth with a good sense of humor and am seeking a flatmate with the same qualities. I love cooking, camping, swimming, outdoors, adventures, spending free times with friends and loved ones. I have attached below some pictures of me
The other Dutch girl whose name is Johanna is 23yrs old. She is studying marketing at University of Amsterdam. She is patient, generous, kind, and loving. She is always upbeat, has a positive attitude about most things and she likes to have fun.
I and her spend most weekends together cooking, baking, shopping and visiting the cinemas.
I would be willing to have the room securely reserved for you. Kindly get back to me telling me more about yourself so we can proceed with this.
Hope to read from you soon.
Regards,
Sarah."
She also sent me a copy of her pasport, a few pics of her and a draft of a contract. When I asked if I may come along, I never got a reply.
A few weeks later, I changed something in my profile. Then your profile appers at the beginning of the top again (as if you were a new user). One day later, I got exactly the same mails with details of a flat with the same address, just the pictures and the name of the landlord were different, this time a "Irena Pavlicoka" ([email protected]) wrote me.
