Hello,
I just read your e-mail regarding my apartment located in Calle de valverde 42, 28004 Madrid . It has 3 rooms : 2 bedroom , 1 living room, 1 bathroom, 1 kitchen (64m2 ).
I bought this apartment for my daughter during her studies in Spain, 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, furnished and renovated. The utilities (coldhot water, electricity, wireless broadband Internet, digital TV , dishwasher, microwave, refrigerator, washing machine, etc.) are included in the price of rent ,you will have one parking spot , the rent is 650 EURmonth . The guarantee deposit is EUR 650,00, 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 Spain, 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 Vera Di Marco Nespoli and I'm a 56 years old , Company Director of EURCESA S.R.L. from Rome/Italy, planning to retire in the next 2 years.
I have a lovely husband, Franco and a 25 year old daughter, Giulia. 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 Rome 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 Rome (on my expense of course).
Looking forward to hear from you soon.
All the best from Italy!

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.

Please contacta moferatorstor if you have a question or information about this post.



Please do not tell the scammer he is posted here.

I am happy to let you know that my apartment is presently available even
for long and short term periods. I am the owner of the
apartment. I bought this apartment for my daughter during her studies in

electricity, wireless broadband Internet, digital TV, 1 parking spot,
dishwasher, garbage disposal, microwave, refrigerator, washing machine,
etc.) are INCLUDED in the price of 400 EUR per month . As for me,i can assure you that I will never

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.

So, if you are interested in renting my apartment, please email me back for more details.
