Watch out I nearly got caught out Rental Scammer - stengel119@gmail by Michelle on Tue Dec 03, 2013 12:53 pm On Mon, Dec 2, 2013 at 7:47 PM, Thomas Stengel wrote: Hello, I just read your e-mail regarding my apartment located in : 104 Cowper Downs, Rathmines, Dublin. It has 2 bedrooms, 1 living room, 1 bathroom and 1 kitchen. I bought this apartment for my daughter during her studies in Ireland, but now shes back home permanently, so Im renting the place for unlimited time. Before we go any further I would like to know a little something about you, like how many persons you intend to live in the apartment, and for how long. The flat is exactly like in the pictures, fully furnished and renovated. Also, very important, the utilities (cold/hot water, electricity, wireless broadband Internet, digital TV, 1 parking spots, dishwasher, garbage disposal, microwave, refrigerator, washing machine, etc.) are INCLUDED in the price of 620EURO/month. As for me, you can rest assured that I will never ask you to leave the apartment. My daughter is building her life here, and i am too old to move to Ireland, so we wont disturb you. You can use my furniture, or you can also use your own if you prefer. If you decide to use yours, you will have access to a very large and well ventilated cellar, where you can store my furniture. Now, a little bit about myself so we can get to know each other better. My name is Thomas Stengel and Im a 58 years old graphic designer from London /United Kingdom, planning to retire in the next 2 years. I have a lovely wife,Sarah and a 25 year old daughter, Maria. I am very proud to say that soon Im going to be a grandfather . Another member of our family is a 8 year old Labrador which we all love, so, I have no problem if you will keep pets. The only inconvenience is that my job doesnt allow me to leave London even for one single day. We just hired some new staff and Im in charge of their training. But this wont affect you at all. I can make arrangements to rent the apartment from London (on my expense of course). Looking forward to hear from you soon. All the best from United Kingdom! Thomas Stengel 44 Edgware Road London W2 1ED United Kingdom The thief will tell you that you can rent his accommodation only if you can prove that you have genuine interest. He will ask you send money by wire transfer (normally Western Union) to yourself or a member of the family to show that you have sufficient finances and that you are not a time waster. Another variation of this scam is that you need to send (by Western Union) money in order that the keys and other documents can be couriered to you He will ask you to send him the transfer details. Make no mistake ! Western Union Transfers can be picked up virtually anywhere in the world and with the minimum of identification. They are almost impossible to trace once the money has been collected. You will never get to see the accommodation or your money again. 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 Gumtree or similar listing sites. If you receive any requests from Landlords asking for some kind of payment by Western Union 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.
