Room for Rent and other rental scams

This looks à lot like THE email i got from Libby stokes. Start reading from beelow;

Hi again,
 
I will inform you about how this service works. As I said before, you will need to deposit into RealEstate Company bank account the money for 2 months (1 month warranty+1 month of rent= 800 EURO), so they can proceed with the shipping and you will receive the keys and the contract.

I will explain you step by step how RealEstate Company service works:

- To start the transaction I will need your shipping details(name,address etc.) so I can go to the RealEstate Company office and make all the legal arrangements .
- RealEstate Companys will check the envelope and if everything is in order they will send you a payment invoice to let you know they have the package in their custody.
- After you will receive the payment invoice, you will need to make the money transfer in their bank account.
- After the transfer is checked, you will receive the package in 2-3 days at your address. Then,you will go together with the their agent to see the apartment and you will have a period of 24 hours to decide if you keep it or not.

If you don't like the apartment by any plausible reasons, the agent will give you the money back or send it to your account, and you will send them the package back to return me on my expense.
All this time the company will keep the money in holding, I will receive it only after the contract is signed!

If you agree then, you need to send me your full name and address so I will be able to make all the arrangements with the RealEstate Company.
 
Many thanks and hope to hear from you soon.
 

Sincerely,
Libby Stokes

Hi Libby,

Ok, let me know what more details you want to know about me. i can move in the apartment on 1 september. The deposit is no problem the only thing is i still have to pay my last month rent here. That is why i can pay you the deposit and rent in August .

So if i'm correct and all goes well, i have to pay 1200 euro's (1st month rent and 2 months deposit) on 25 August. Is this correct?

kind regards,

Hi again, it's nice to have a reply from you so quickly!

The apartment is ready for you, you will only have to receive the keys and the contract to check it and see if you like it. In order of that, I've found a way for us to complete the deal safely and fast so you will receive the keys in less than 3 days. No one could help me show the apartment because I don't know the neighbours very well..
The solution I've chosen is provided by a company called RealEstate Company (http://real-estate-company.co.cc/); they handle rentals for people who are unable to solve them alone, which are abroad etc., so they will take care both the delivery and payment issues. I will support all the shipping taxes for the package.

Regarding the monthly payments I want to receive them in my bank account from London so I hope it will be no problem for you.

I would like to know more details about you...this just to know us better, it is very important for me to know who will live in my apartment because I want a good person.
I think you can understand me.. and finally I request for a 2 months deposit (1 month warranty+1 month of rent).
 
Hope to hear from you soon and I'll explain you more about how we will do this.


Sincerely,
Libby Stokes

Hey Libby, 

Thank you for your response. I'm very interested in the apartment and the first of september i will  have to leave my house due to a broken relationship. So I really like to rent a nice, affordable and save apartment with no rush to find a permanent home (so if possible... 4 years would be fine by me)

So i hope it's no problem for you to keep the apartment till september for me... How does it work, is it possible to see the apartment? The pictures look fine... can i bring some of my own stuff? (small furniture). Do you want to meet me first? ( Skype maybe?) 
Do  you have an agreement for me to sign?

Thank you in advance!

Hej!
I am Libby, I am 41 years old woman and I worked as a lawyer in Amsterdam. My contract period there expired and now I've moved back to my born city (London, England), where I've opened my own lawyer office.Due to this fact, I am offering my apartment for rent from one month up to 4 years.
The apartment is located in Westerdoksdijk 40, Amsterdam. It has 2 bedroom, a living room, bathroom, kitchen and has 90m2.The apartment is fully furnished and fully equipped!

I want to rent the apartment because I tried to sell it but I could not obtain a fair price due the financial crisis, so I've decided together with my family to rent it.
The price for 1 month of rent is 400 EURO with no extra costs and also includes all the utilities.

As I said before, I am in London because I live and work here now and I am the only person who has the keys and the papers of the apartment but I have a solution to solve this problem, so you can move in the apartment as soon as you receive the keys.


Thanks and would be nice to hear from you!

Sincerely,
Libby Stokes
