Room for Rent and other rental scams
#340501 by Pkr1997 Sun Oct 01, 2017 3:52 am
Sarah writes to you with a really good deal of an apartment. 500€ in which you can decide with a partner if need be. She ask you to send money by Western Union claiming she’ll send the keys immediately. After a day she says her mother is sick and needs the money immediately and also to borrow 200€ from you. She keeps insisting in send the money to Africa instead of the original adress in India. She then threatens you she will never forgive you because her mother will die. That’s when I needed everything and told her I don’t want her apartment and to send the money back. (Thanks god I didn’t pay her everything and I was able to get 250€ back). She then says she can’t send the money from India back to, where I am Germany, because India is a only a country (??).

I will post the e-mails and Whatsapp messages next, I truly believed her but by the end realized it isn’t all a scam.

Hello

Thanks for the response, First before we Proceed further i will want
you to know that , You can also rent a room in the flat.. the flat is
still vacant now and you can move into the flat as soon as possible
BUT sorry viewing the flat will not be possible now. the reason why i
am renting the apartment very cheap is because i am not in the country
at the moment , I just relocated here in India few weeks back due to
my new job and that is the reason I am renting out the flat and i
have the flat keys here with me.i left urgently with the hope of
coming back soon but right now the work has taken me to stay long
term under contract agreement, that's why I have made up my mind to
put up my apartment for rent but I can only send you the flat
pictures to see so that you can have an idea of the flat. Thanks and
hope to hear from you soon

Hello

Here is the lease contract agreement and it is also been signed by me
, print out the contract, read carefully if you are okay with the
contract agreement sign the contract, After which you make the payment
to me here via Western Union and come to me with a scan copy of the
receipt along with the signed copy of the lease contract agreement,
you just go to any Western Union post bank near you and make the
payment in my name and address here in India, When making the
payment, you will be charged for the transfer, but you will tell them
that you are making the payment to your friend here in India so that
the charges will be less, Western Union charges are less when payment
is being made to friend and family, i will really appreciate this
because all charges will be deducted from the nest rent will be
paying, so it will better for me if the charges are less... Here is
my details needed for the payment

Hello

Good day and how are you doing today ?? i have posted the keys and
the Hand signed copy of the lease contract agreement with my signature
via Blue Print Delivery .. DHL Delhi are not working for now .. the
office was close .. so i have to post via another Courier ,
Unfortunately, it will take longer time than I expect for the keys to
arrive to your door step, the keys will arrive your door step
October 3rd, 2017, Posting Via Express Delivery Cost Higher.. since
you don't need the keys urgently i have to post Via Delay: Delivery
Which is more cheaper. Please keep your mobile on and available
because i think the agent may call you for confirmation and delivery.

I was told you will need this number ( JMN783J21BQ ) to check or track

should cancel and refund your money back .. the agent said you should
not make the payment to my cousin sister at the same office . You

For all of you, don’t trust this so called Sarah. She always goes by that name and you’ll always get an e-mail from her while searching for apartments. I’m searching for a new apartment now and I have received an e-mail again, same text as the first one and ame name “Sarah” but with a different e-mail. Please don’t believe he/her. I hope this site can help me in anyway to protec anyone else and to help me get my money back although I know it will be hard.
