Hello all,

With my heavy heart because I still didn't get any rental in Berlin, but happy that I did not fall into this scam I am posting the email I just got from the scammer:

------------
Hello,

The apartment is still available, clean and ready for use in the short or long term. I bought this apartment for my son while studying in Germany. My son has finished his studies and we have decided to rent it long-term / indefinitely if possible.Occasionally, we also rent it out on Booking.com for short periods of time. The monthly rent is 1500 euros and includes all additional costs (heating, electricity, etc.). The deposit for moving in is 1500 euros and is fully refunded when you leave the apartment.The recently renovated apartment all are fully furnished and equipped and consists of:

Living Room
2 Big Rooms
Big Open Room
Equipped kitchen
Bathroom
1st floor
Building parking lot
Living area 70.00 m²
Address:
Friedrichstr 24
12205 Berlin

The apartment is optimally connected to public transport, the bus connections stop practically across the street, the train station can be reached by bus in less than 10 minutes. The next motorway entrance is 2 km away. In walking distance there are numerous shops, such as supermarkets, bakeries, a pharmacy, the city library, numerous restaurants and coffee houses as well as doctors of different specialties.
Now a little bit about me so that we can get to know each other better. My name is Wendel Anders, 58 years old and I own a company in the automotive industry in Sweden. Sweedish and English are the basic languages that I speak and write very well, but we can also communicate in German( i translate on the internet). Since I am not in Germany now, the transaction will be safely carried out by a third party agency( Booking.com). There are no additional costs for you.
I would really appreciate a description of yourself so I can make an idea who will rent the place. How many people will stay in the apartment, where do you work, how long are you planning to stay in the apartment.
I really do NOT have time to waste so please reply to me ONLY if you are really interested.
Thank you and hope to hear from you soon!
Please note that the apartment is rented fully furnished (no deposit required for furniture), but can also be rented unfurnished / partially furnished on request.
I expect your answer as soon as possible.

Greetings from Sweden!

Interesting fact is that I only applied to apartments here in Berlin using the immoscout24 from within their internal application communication and only on a hand of posts published by agencies.

I see two options here:
1) our guy is working for one of these agencies;
2) one of the agencies has their DB compromised

Both of the options are terrible for their customers as you might know they are having access to a lot of personal documents and information (too much if you ask me).

I really hope there is a competent authority who want's to track this kind of scammers down; in this situation I can support narrow the search.

Please be aware if something is looking too good to be true or you have any suspicion about something .. dig into that suspicion.

Good luck.

Do not fall into this scam. I also received a fake contract email.

Good to hear from you with all your details, I will be happy to have someone like you as my tenant and before i can come all the way from Stratford or secure the flat for you, i have to be sure about your willingness and financial capability in paying the move in fee on same day as I will like a situation whereby everything can be finalized on the same day i come to Berlin for the viewing and handing over the keys. Therefore, if you are willing to rent and secure the flat for your date ,you will need to review the contract form, if the terms suits your requirements, you will then fill out the required field and sign, make a deposit of refundable security deposit via bank to bank transfer to ensure easy refund if you eventually decide not to take the flat after seeing it, once it is confirmed paid, thereafter we can schedule a possible time for the viewing. If there is any changes in taking the flat after viewing, you will be refunded back your deposit which you have made, upon taking the flat, the remaining fee has to be paid in cash before moving into the flat. Let me know if you are okay with the arrangements so i can email the copy of tenancy agreement for you to review.

Am okay with your signed copy, bellow is my bank details for the deposit.
