Je partage mon expérience de la journée, si vous connaissez déjà, au moins ça vous divertira! Sinon peut-être que ça évitera de tomber ds un piège sait on jamais
voilà la copie d'une lettre reçue suite à une annonce sur Gumtree (où j'avais bien précisé que les combines du type transfert avec Western Union ne m'intéressaient pas, connaissant leur réputation pourrie)
et au bout de 3 mails je reçu ça
Hi,
Thanks for your email. I would have loved to meet you first before we proceed, but I am very busy at this time. I have lots of people asking for the rooms immediately i place the advert, you'll have to act very fast if you really want to rent a room.
I'm not in town right now, i'm here in Berlin for marketing some of our products and i won't be back until 2 weeks. But, i will not allow that to stop your viewing and moving in as i will be sending you the apartment keys and necessary documents but all these will be after the security deposit payment for the apartment so that i can be sure that you are serious about renting the room.
I understand and accept that you have to see the apartment before you make any payment, but you need to be considerate as well. You will make the security deposit and a month rent (400 pounds) to any of your friend, family, partner or anybody in London (from you to....such person) through any western union outlet around you, i will only need to confirm the payment with western union so that i can be sure you are capable and fully prepared to rent the room.
Then, i will have the keys and other necessary documents couriered to you with a next day delivery as i will not be able to leave Berlin now due to my work, If you can do that i will be convinced that you are serious and capable of meeting the demands for i can bet you will like the property.
When i return, whoever you send the money to will go and collect the money back, that is when you will pay me in cash and sign the rental agreement in the presence of my lawyer.
I make the suggestion for the security of both of us because i cannot tell you to pay for a property you've not viewed and i also need to know that i am not dealing with a time waster because it cost a little to advertise.
The transfer charges will be deducted from the first month rent you will be paying me in cash or given to you on the spot.
I have attached my international passport photo page with this email
because you will need to print it out and taken with the lease agreement form to the apartment when you are moving in. If there is anything you don't get right please get back to me right now as i can access the computer.
it will be better if we chat on MSN, we will get to understand each other better. my id is emilimeters001@hotmail.com
Hoping to hear from you soon.
Have a great day.
Emily.
Je l'ai promptement envoyé chier
Attention dc à vous mes petits!! là c'est l'arnaque "textbook": proprio hors du pays, anglais approximatif, phrases pas claires... (je sais que dernièrement un membre du forum c'était fait avoir avec les faux emails d' Ebay, ce serai bien que ça n'arrive pas dans ce cas là)
