hallo,

Die Wohnung ist ab sofort flexible Leasing, schön, sauber, ruhig, hat alle Einrichtungen und die Versorgungsunternehmen ein Mensch braucht, einschließlich Stromversorger, Kabel-TV, Parkplatz zugewiesen, Wäsche in der Einheit, Klimaanlage, High-Speed-Internet, gut erzogene Katzen / Haustiere sind erlaubt.Die monatliche Miete 575 € mit allen Utilities enthalten ist (Wärme, Strom, Wasser). Für welchen Zeitraum Sie es brauchen und ab wann?
Ich kaufte diese Wohnung für meine Tochter während ihres Studiums, aber jetzt ist sie wieder zu Hause dauerhaft in London, United Kingdom, so dass ich es mieten.
Wir nutzen den Platz nicht mehr, so können Sie es sogar für einen langfristig mieten.
Ich hoffe, dass können Sie mir einige persönliche Informationen über sich.

The apartment is now available flexible lease , nice, clean, quiet, has all the facilities and the utilities a person needs including electric utility, cable TV, assigned parking, laundry in the unit, air conditioning, high speed Internet , well behaved cats / pets are allowed.The monthly rent is 575 euro with all utilities included (heat, electricity, water). For what period you need it and starting when?
I bought this apartment for my daughter during her studies, but now she's back home permanently in London , United Kingdom , so I'm renting it out.
We will not use the place any more, so you can rent it even for a long term.
I hope that you can send me some personal information about yourself.

Regards


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.
