today i looked at my mail and got this:


Reading your ad on gumtree is good and you can contact me on my email address,stevensmoonlight@gmail.com,cos i have what you are looking for.

i emailed back sayin what i was looking for ect....and he emailed me back with .....


Hello Ieila.

5SB, United Kingdomand it is 500 pounds per month including all
bills(utility bills,council tax,water,gas,e.t.c)while the security
deposit is 600 pounds but the security would be refunded back to you
anytime you are vacating the property,Here are the Pictures of the
Property attached below,Get back to me.
stevensmoonlight.

although he has not asked me for any money yet NO 2 BED flats in london are £500 per month INCLUDING BILLS which was the first thing i knew was not right with this email secondly i scroll down the pictures and the kitchen and bathroom ric look as though they have been taken off a website and the 2 bed rooms although they look like genuine pics look like they are from 2 completly different houses.

i am going to email this guy back as i am almost 100% sure this is a scam and keep you posted as i dont want anyone to lose money from these people.

The second person


emailed:

i emailed back saying i wanted east or south croydon and must have a garden.

and he sent back

again asked for no money so far but the rent is only £620 when the rent in this area for 2 bed is AT LEAST 850 pcm.
also he was clever enough in the first email not to tell me where he had a property so when i emailed him with my areas it was
funny his place was just where i wanted it.
and he says he is in liverpool so im guessing the next email will be asking me to send him money ect.....

ill email both these people back but i have got a feeling the next emails will be asking for money so ill keep you posted

thanks Leila :0)[/u]
