Then, with a few amazing pictures attached:
"Hello,
Thanks for the response. Find the attached some of the flat pictures.
Yes, My father is a German but my mother a Dutch, but presently I am
now in England due to my new job; that is why i am renting out the
flat. The flat is presently free and you can rent as soon as possible.
Moving into the flat from July or August is also perfect; You will
only have to make a reservation for the room now so that I can get the
room reserved for you till that date.
Where are you now and how long do you want to rent and live in the flat?"
After that, we discussed via skype. I told him I wouldn't sign a contract or pay anything before I haven't seen the flat. His point was that he wouldn't just book a ticket to the Netherlands before he had any ensurance that I have enough money to pay him. So he suggested that I could transfer the money (security deposit + 1st rent, 930€ in total) to a friend of mine - via WESTERN UNION BANK! Because I transferred the money to a friend, not to him, he would not be able to take the money, but I could show him that I've got the money. He only wants to see the certificate that I transferred the money. I asked if there was no other way, but he insistet on Western Union Bank. Luckily, I didn't - he would have found a way to get my money, so please don't trust anyone who wants you to transfer money via Western Union Bank!
