Hello,

I just read your message regarding my apartment.
I bought this apartment for my daughter during her studies in Poland, but now she's back home permanently, so I'm renting the place for an unlimited time.
The apartment is furnished and equipped.
Also, very important, the utilities (cold/hot water, electricity, wireless broadband Internet, one parking spot, garbage disposal, refrigerator, etc.) are included in the rent (Zl1800/month). I require first month rent and one month in advance as a security deposit. When you decide to leave the apartment you will have to give me at least 30 days notice.
Now, a little bit about myself: my name is Andrzej Kondrat and I'm a 60 years old graphic designer from London, planning to retire in the next 2 years.
I have a lovely wife, Christine and a 25 year old daughter, Linda. I am very proud to say that soon I'm going to be a grandfather :).
Another member of our family is a six year old Labrador Retriever which we all love, so, since I'm a pet owner myself, I will have no problem if you want to keep a pet in the apartment.
Tell me a bit about yourself...
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, so my schedule is pretty hectic right now.
But this won't affect the rental at all. I can make arrangements to rent the apartment from London (on my expense of course).

Looking forward to hear from you soon.


Witaj,

Wlasnie przeczytalem wiadomosc dotyczaca mojego mieszkania .
Kupilem to mieszkanie dla mojej córki w czasie studiów w Polska, ale teraz wrócila do domu na stale, wiec jestem wynajem miejsce na czas nieokreslony.
Mieszkanie jest w pelni umeblowane wyposazone.
Równiez bardzo wazne , ze media ( zimna / ciepla woda , energia elektryczna , bezprzewodowy Internet szerokopasmowy , jeden parking spot, wywóz smieci , lodówka, itp. ) sa wliczone w czynsz ( Zl1800 / miesiac ) . I wymagaja pierwszy czynsz miesiac i miesiac z góry , jako depozyt . Gdy zdecydujesz sie opuscic mieszkanie, bedziesz musial mi dac co najmniej 30 dniowym wyprzedzeniem .
Teraztroche o sobie : mam na imie Andrzej Kondrat i mam60 lat grafik z Londynu , planuje przejsc na emeryture w ciagu najblizszych 2 lat .
Mam piekny zona, Christine i 25-letnia córka, Linda . Jestem bardzo dumny, ze tylko ja bededziadkiem :) .
Inny czlonek naszej rodziny jestszesciolatek Labrador Retriever , który wszyscy kochamy , tak , poniewaz jestempet wlasciciel ja, nie bede mial zadnych problemów , jesli chcesz utrzymac zwierze w mieszkaniu.
Powiedz mi cos o sobie ...
Jedyna niedogodnoscia jest to, ze moja praca nie pozwala mi opuscic Londyn , nawet na jeden dzien . Wlasnie wynajal jakis nowy zespól , a ja jestem odpowiedzialny za ich szkolenie , wiec mój plan jest dosc nerwowe teraz.
Ale to nie bedzie mialo wplywu na wynajem w ogóle. Moge dokonac ustalen do wynajecia mieszkanie z Londynu (na mój koszt oczywiscie) .

Nie mozemy sie doczekac , aby uslyszec od ciebie szybko .

Pozdrawiam


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.
