| Scam contents | This is an example of SCAM related to a rental apartment in Brussels: Hello, Thank you for the provided details and nice to meet you! The fees to the agency are paid by me.The bills are included in the price.(gas, water, electricity). Registration is possible at the address of the apartment. If you like it and if it suits your needs, I can schedule an appointment with a real estate agency so that an agent can present you the apartment via Zoom Meetings. I also have a few more people interested, therefore I suggested the agency schedule a meeting with all of you and present the apartment through video in a detailed manner. Can you please advise the time in which you would be available? I understand that the meeting will last a maximum of 20 minutes. Also, please let me know if you are familiar with Zoom Meetings. If not, I can request a guide from the agency and I can forward it to you.The fees to the agency are paid by me. Once the meeting is over, if you want to proceed with the renting contract, please send me the following details so that I can forward them to the agency: - Your full name: - Address: - Phone number: Once the information is received by the real estate agency, you will receive from them the contract with payment and rental details via email.Here you can find photos of my apartment.I am not seeking profit with this rent, my main interest is to find responsible persons who can take care of my apartment.I have invested very much in high quality furniture and electronics, being fully equipped with everything a person needs. Best regards, Beatrice |

there for nothing. We need the guarantee that you are really interested to rent the apartment and you have the money to pay for it.

Well, I just received an e-mail with exactly the same content. I was suspicious from the beginning and I see it now confirmed. Of course I would never do such a thing like sending money to somebody I don't know for something I have not seen, I'm not an idiot. But for the unprobable case somebody else could swallow the bait, I strongly recommend to put this - and similar - e-mails on the black list together with a big warning. I'm disgusted and offended that somebody would even dare to approach me with such a proposal!

Warning ! They published advertising to sell (2E main) or to rent out apartment (immoweb, belgian site) on some web sites. They use "western union" or a spanish " tranportation company" that seems official; but the headqurter is in Bangkhok.

We are a couple from Scotland and we bought this apartment for our daughter during her studies in Czech but now she graduated and moved back to Scotland. She will not use the place any more, so you can rent it for a long period. We can come to Czech in 2-3 days .

not have relatives in Scotland (You just assume for a moment that your father is now in Scotland.)
After i will see the copy of the transfer we will buy a plane ticket and we will come to Czech with the keys and

I received an email today with this content - We are a couple from Wales and we bought this apartment for our daughter during her studies in Denmark, but now she graduated and moved back to Wales. She will not use the place any more, so you can rent it even for a long period of time. Last time when we wanted to rent, no one showed up so we lost time and money. I've found a way for us to complete the deal safely and fast so you can check the apartment in less than 3 days. Nobody can help me to show you the apartment because I don't know the neighbors very well. So we decided to make the transaction through Airbnb, they handle rentals for people who are unable to solve them alone, which are abroad etc., so they will take care both the inspection and payment. They will act as a third party so the deal will be safe. If you are ready to rent it please email me with:
Full name and address :
Preferred fixed term length:
Preferred commencement date of tenancy:
Total number of occupants:
Contact number:
A copy of your ID.
After i will receive your details i will send you the link of the apartment posted on Airbnb so you can make the reservation.
I will wait an answer from you with your decision as i have many people interested to rent my apartment.

Hi Mehdi, depending on how the payment was done, you can try to get a refund. If you paid using a credit card you can contact the card company or your bank and ask for a Chargeback procedure:

I have a beautiful apartment with one bedroom, a large living room, a separate kitchen and a bathroom. It has recently been remodeled and cleaned and has never been rented out before so I am looking for a responsible person to take care of it.
The monthly rent is 800 euros + 2 months deposit which will be returned at the end of the stay.
If you are interested, I can share more details and photos of the apartment with you. Also, I would like to know something about you (how long do you want to rent it for, how many people stay in the apartment, what is your occupation).
