This "company" advertises on Craigslist all over Europe. Website seems legit, BUT then you discover they only want to be paid through wire transfer or Western Union. That's major red flag #1. So you are still wondering, so you call their phone number and it routes to a US phone.....TV blaring in background, aggressive dog barking, people shouting, rough sounding guy who answers and leaves you hanging there while he gets someone to talk to you. Major red flag # 2 (this is definitely not the "corporate" call center address in Ludgate Hill, London). That's when you know it's a 100% scam. Careful when you look for vacation rentals on Craigslist!


Hi Kenneth


I’m not at all comfortable using bank transfer or western union.I have been scammed before and my bank account was cleared out. I’d be happy to use a credit card or paypal. Can you let me know if that is acceptable to you. Thanks.

Hi Kenneth. Thanks for your reply, apologies for the delay. I’d like to go ahead and book the apartment for one week but for one reason and another my dates have changed and I’m hoping you still have availability! The dates are now August 9th to 16th (7 nights). We will be arriving in the evening (coming by train from Berlin). Is it possible for someone to pick us up at the train station? Also, can you confirm that the apartment has a washing machine.

Also one more question – which payment method do you use?



Thanks

And again a new homepage:

http://www.europeflatrentals.com

it is the same criminal as above even if he is using another name or another email address.

The current email address is info@[email protected]

[Thomas Berg]

This document is used by the scammer to deceive his victims:


[/URL]

[Thomas Berg]

and a new site is up:

http://www.home-apt-rentals.com

[Thomas Berg]

The scammer is not only using Western Union for payment but also different bank accounts:

Like these that were given by the scammer when asked for wire transfer details:

NAME: E WILLIAMS
BANK: LLOYDS SORT
CODE: 309293
ACCOUNT: 36628168
BIC: LOYDGB21442
IBAN: GB76LOYD30929336628168

NAME-EMMANUEL .K WILLIAMS
BANK NAME: NATIONAL WESTMINSTER BANK PLC
A/C NUMBER: 62657607.
SORT CODE: 60-08-28
BIC: NWBK GB 2L
IBAN: GB52NWBK6008 2862 657607

ACCOUNT NAME :SHARRTTY M G MARTIS
BANK NAME : LLOYDS BANK
ACOUNT NUMBER : 18579760
SORT CODE : 306443
IBAN-GB65LOYD30644318579760
BIC-LOYDGB21671
PHYSICAL ADDRESS : 35 MALPAS ROAD HACKNEY E8 1NA LONDON

as we can clearly see the Account Name is not matching the details the scammer is giving about his fake company.
Never send money to a bank account if the details are not matching.

[Thomas Berg]

And we have two new sites:

http://www.skyeworldholidayhomes.com
http://www.worldapartmentvacation.com

and new email addresses:

[Thomas Berg]

Just found a new fake website of the gang:

they are using a new text but luckily I found the craiglist posts

[Thomas Berg]

and again a new site:

www.questholidayinn.com - Quest holiday inn and you are going to be contacted by Andre Park

[Thomas Berg]

the old sites got killed and our rental scammer got a new site again:

and he is using this email address for his scams now:
