Hi,
Thanks for your mail, I can reserve the room for you until the day of your move in but only if you show me how serious you need the room. I have other offer who is also interested in the room but I think we will be a perfect match (flatmate) and I would love to give the room to you. My apartment is a Two bedroom apartment located on 16 Rue Bechevelin 69007 Lyon, France to be precise and I am looking for tenants for one of the rooms in the apartment. The apartment belongs to my Mother although she got it from my father after the demise of my Father last year.

The apartment is fully furnished and also the rooms am renting out so you might not need to come with any other furniture but if you intend coming with any stuff, let me know alright?... The apartment has a heating system, water, parking space, security, Electricity, Gas, Phone, Internet Connectivity (Broadband), You would have free and unlimited access to the kitchen, the store room, the guest room, and all areas and part of the house except my room of-course... :) You are also entitled to your own visitors.

The two rooms has the same amenities and are of the same size. The rent for the apartment and also the cost of the utility bills is 300€ per month. Once again, this includes the cost of the utilities as earlier mentioned. The apartment is centrally located and is just some minutes walk to the nearest bus station and also you would have easy and fast access to other locations.

You would also be required to pay a security deposit as is the custom, the security deposit would be refunded to you at the end of your stay in the apartment if nothing is destroyed by you during your stay in the apartment. The deposit is 300€. About Me: My Name is Solene Boisard I am a 22 year old Female. I am the only child of my parents and I live alone in this apartment.This apartment used to be my family apartment till when my Dad moved us all to France where he eventually passed away but I alone stay here in the apartment and have being renting it out for sometime now. My last flatmate left for UK last week hence my search for new flatmates.

I am calm and laid-back person and my hobbies are reading, swimming and also at times on Fridays/weekend, I attend social events but I have not being having the opportunity dues to my work to hang out with my friends. I work as a marketing officer and when I am free I go to the pool to relax my mind and also unwind. I also visit the gym to keep fit at times.. ;)

Let me also know more about you because I believe it is essential that we get to know each other before we become flatmates. I shall be glad to send you pictures and also the contract so that we can conclude and be good flatmates.

I await to read your response.

Regards,
Solene

Thanks for posting Moii, the details will help others avoid being scammed.

Legitimate landlords will always ensure you can view inside the property without having to pay any money to anyone first.

Please do not tell scammers that they are listed here - it will take them seconds to change their fake details and their new details will not be listed for any future victims to find.

Hei, i received the same message last week.still using your passport. Did you solve anything ? I also sent him a copy of my passport and i am afraid he'll use it for the same trick.

I was looking for a room a Roma and also find this announce on the website "Appartager".
I received three messages from three persons who are looking for a room Bruxelles.

I return to France tomorrow and I had ask at the three persons involved to send me all the mails and informations utile to constitute a solid file and go to the police.
If any person was also in contact with this person, contacts me.

Thank you for posting. What email address are they using now? Could you post the email with your personal information removed?

As far as your passport, there's not much you can do to prevent them from using it on others, but you need to go to your country's immigration services and report your passport as stolen/compromised so that they can issue you a new passport with a new passport number.
