Hi again,

thebaeutifulamsterdam.com and thebeautifulamsterdams.com is the same.

Because we are a real estate agency,we are not the owner of the apartment,we are only renting.
Money must reach the owner's account and the owner is from Spain.

Could you please reply to this email and confirm your acceptance of the above so as to proceed with the booking?

Regards.

If you are reading this because you have received such an invoice, kindly forward it to the address in my signature line and I will report the details to the appropriate authorities.

Hi

Looks like this is the first report I can find on the internet of this fraud. Have there been any earlier reports? Can you advise at what point this was reported as fraud and to what authorities (i.e. action fraud?)

Dates and times would be good please and thanks?

Hello,

Please let me know if you got my last email. I am a little worried as I have no answer from you. I hope you are ok and I am still waiting your email.

Are you there?
Any news?
Did you make the payment?
Did you pay for rent in the owner's account?

Please email me and let me know, because I need to announce the owner.
Please send me the transcript (copy of the transfer receipt) I need to attach it to the booking contract, as proof of payment and I need to provide it to the owner and reserve the property.

Can you tell me if you're interested in my property because I have other people interested in renting the same time. I wait your email .
As we are in the beginning of high season, the demand is high enough and we need to know if you are still interested for this booking.
We have already put your reservation in our system, however if we do not hear from you soon I am afraid we have to release this booking.

Further to your recent enquiry and my response. I hope you found the price I offered attractive and that I answered any questions that you may have had however if I can be of any further assistance please do not hesitate to contact me.

Please let me know if you changed your plans.
I really can't keep house reserved any more without confirmation.

Please let me know if you want to proceed.

I look forward to speaking with you soon.
