First time user and glad to be! THANKS! 
I had already found information on those people
See http://forums.gumtree.com/viewtopic_f_29_t_384816_RENTALS_LONDON_APT_TOTAL_SCAM.
But this is obviously much better here.
I've exchanged many e-mails with "David" and was about to send my 200GBP deposit but I had a bad feeling about it...
They are now at http://www.managedvacationhomes.com. One of the business addresses is pretty funny looking if you ask me http://maps.google.com/maps?q=33+Finchley+Lane,+London,+NW4+1BX&hl=en&ll=51.589543,-0.220059&spn=0,0.007499&sll=51.589650,-0.220102&sspn=0.006295,0.006295&layer=c&cbp=13,315.2,,2,7.08&cbll=51.589553,-0.219878&z=17&panoid=FhDj_lZjVF2qyjZXUC7hhQ
The website is fake and is lined up for the kill - Michael
Anyway, here is a filtered exchange I've had with them in case it helps further preys:

Hi David,
I’m not willing to fill all those personal fields in Rental Application Form so I guess I’ll pass.
Thanks a lot for providing all that information and good luck.

Hi David,
Thanks a lot for the additional information. We’ll arrive in London on the ... and leave on the ...: . nights only.
Q: Is this still available for those dates?
As this first picture from the Managed Vacation Homes is quite different than the one from Google View, I’m a little bit suspicious about the apartment itself. Although this second one doesn’t look bad either!
Q: Would you mind explaining the difference?
Q: Is there any restriction regarding time to be able to go in ? (e.g. coming back at the flat after midnight)
Q: Can you give me more information about how to make the reservation? Should I just go to http://managedvacationhomes.com/booking.html and proceed?
I hope that all those questions do not upset you.
Thanks a lot and I hope we can do business.
