Hello,


I bought this apartment for my daughter during her studies, but now she is back home at home, so I rent the space for an unlimited period.
Before we go further, I would like to know something about you, how many people that you live in the apartment, and for how long.
The apartment is just like in the pictures, furnished and renovated. The utilities (cooling water, electricity, wireless broadband Internet, digital TV, dishwasher, microwave, refrigerator, washing machine, etc.) are included in the rent, you have a parking space, the rent is 460 EUR / month. The deposit is EUR 460, and you get it back if you decide to leave the apartment (you have to give me at least 30 days in advance). As for me, you can be sure that I will never ask you to leave the apartment. My daughter is building their lives on here, so we will not bother you.
You can use my furniture, or you can also use your own if you prefer. If you choose, you have access to a very large and well-ventilated cellar where you can store my furniture.
Now, a little about me, so that we can get to know us better. My name is Mario Dieter and I'm a 56-year-old, deputy director of Cámara de Comercio from Santander and is planning to go in the next 2 years in retirement.
I have a beautiful wife, Adriana, and a 25-year-old daughter, Giulia. I am very proud to say that I will soon be a grandfather. Another member of our family is a 8 year old Labrador, we all love, so I have no problem if you keep pets.
The only inconvenience is that my work does not allow me to leave Santander even for a day. We have just hired a new staff and I am responsible for their education.
But that will not affect you. I can make arrangements to rent the apartment from Berlin (at my expense of course).
I look forward to hearing from you. Do you speak English?

Mr. Mario Dieter


This person asks for a deposit payment via Western Union, MoneyGram 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.
