Room for Rent and other rental scams

This lovely lady from greece tried to rent us a scam...

Hello,
>
> First of all i'm sorry to write you in english but i don't speak german. I just read your e-mail regarding my apartment located in : Pernersdorferstraße 24, 3100 St. Pölten, Austria. It has 4 rooms : 3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, 1 kitchen and 1 living room (75m2 ).
>
> I bought this apartment for my daughter during her studies in Austria, 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 , dishwasher, garbage disposal, microwave, refrigerator, washing machine, etc.) are INCLUDED in the price of 370 EUR/month. The kaution is also 900 EUR, and you get it back, when you decide to leave the apartment (you will have to give me at least 30 days notice). 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 Austria, 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 Nadine Margot and I'm a 58 years old graphic designer from Athens / Greece, planning to retire in the next 2 years.
>
> I have a lovely husband , Giorgio and a 25 year old daughter, Linda. I am very proud to say that soon I'm going to be a grandmother :). 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 Athens 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 Athens (on my expense of course).
>
> Looking forward to hear from you soon.
>
> All the best from Greece!

> Hello,
>
>
>
> Thank you for your reply but the matter is that I'm in Athens / Greece already. Like I have inform you before, the price you shall pay for one month of rent will be 370 EUR + 900 security deposit = (1270 euro), with no extra taxes to pay. I must have one month rent + security deposit from you. You pay this money just for this time and every month you pay just 370 euro . The money, I want to receive it monthly to my bank account, so I hope it will be no problem for you to wire the money to my bank account. The apartment is ready for you, you will need only to receive the keys and the contract to check it, and see if you like it. Obviously we need a way to complete this deal, that will allow us to make sure we receive what we are after. I am not interested to make a lot of money from the rent as I am interested to find a tenant that will take goof care of the property . Because didn't had time to find a trustworthy agent , don't have any friends in the area to send the keys. I found an alternate solution in order to close the transaction safe for the both of us , a real estate company , it is an international real estate company called Remax ( http://www.remax.de/[https://3c.gmx.net/mail/client/dereferrer?redirectUrl=http://www.remax.de/] ). They will provide assistance in handling the payment and delivery of the Keys and Lease Agreement, Deposit request 370 Euro + 900 Euro (Security Deposit) . With this procedure you will be able to check the apartment before I receive the payment . Like a escrow company.

> Let me know if you are interested please because I really need to take care of this matter.

> Thank you

> Hello,
>
>
>
> I want to inform you that Remax will hold the money until you will confirm to them that you like the apt and keep the keys. If you don't like it, you only have to return the keys to them after they will refund the money to you and they will deliver the keys back to me on my expense.
>
> I will need to inform you the steps about how this service works and how we can make it happen. You will only have to deposit first month of rent + security deposit - 1270 EUR to Remax - so they can proceed with the shipping, and you can receive the keys and the contract.
>
> Like I said, I will pay for a 2 days delivery so you will receive the Keys and the contract signed by me right away. I will explain to you step by step how this will work:
>
> 1 - To start this transaction i will need to know your full shipping information, full name, full shipping address and phone number to proceed with this deal .
>
> 2 - I go to the Remax Office and leave the Keys and the contract in your name as the intended receiver.
>
> 3 - Remax will check the envelope to see if everything is OK with it and also the legal papers that will come along with the Keys.
>
> 4 - Remax will send you a delivery notification to let you know they have the Keys and the papers in their custody, in which you will be told that they have the Keys and that they checked it.
>
> 5 - At this point you will have to go to your Bank and make a money transfer deposit on the Remax Company in Greece assigned with this transaction for the amount we agreed.
>
> 6 - After you make the bank transfer deposit you will have to send the infos about the money deposit to Remax (scan paper from the bank transfer).
>
> 7 - Remax will verify the payment informations and if everything is in order they will deliver the Keys and the contract to you .
>
> 8 - After you receive the package, You will go and check the apt and in 2 days after you seen the apt you must contact them and tell them if you keep the apt or not, if everything is in order you will instruct Remax to release the funds to me.
>
> If you don't like the apt they will send your money back and you will send them the keys and the contract to them to return the package back to me on my expense. I will pay Remax Service for the shipping and you will pay Bank Transfer for the Money Transfer fees. Now i must know for sure if you agree because here are a lot of peoples interested to have this apartment rented and i want to know for sure what i must tell them. If you agree what i suggested i will tell them that my apartment is already rented and i will keep it for you. If you agree then i must have all the shipping details so i will be able to make all the arrangements for the Remax delivery.
>
> Very Important: Your money will be in safe in Remax Company Bank Account .
>
> Thank you for your interest and wait news from you.

Hello everybody.
WARNING!!!!!!!

I wanted to rent the flat in Vienna Roter Hof 16/5 1080 Vienna. The flat was for 450 £ and 900 £ deposit. Appartment looks very nice so the price was unbelievably cheap. Anyway I text to the email address [email protected] but I get the answer from email address [email protected]
I RECEIVED exact emails as person who wrote here before me about flat in Greece.
I AM SORRY TO WRITING YOU IN ENGLISH BUT I DO NOT SPEAK GERMAN.
MELANIE NADEL FROM MILANO, RENTING FLAT WHAT PREVIOUSLY BOUGHT FOR DAUGHTER WHEN SHE WAS STUDING IN VIENNA. SHE HAVE LOVELY HUSBAND AND 8 YEARS OLD LABRADOR. GOING TO BE A GRANDMOTHER.
Everything went good until I ask her/him for contract so I can see what am I paying for. Answer: I am going to rent the appartment to somebody else. Before I asked her/him if there is some problem with the flat and also for phone number-NO ANSWER. Then I asked more times and still didn't received an answer. DO NOT PAY TO THIS PERSON. IT IS A SCAM!!!!!!!!!!! :evil:
