That's a relief, dear, he's got his own furniture....

Post scam emails to warn other rental owners, or if you are not sure if an enquiry is genuine, put it up here and see what others think.

How about this guy, wanting to move in with 24hrs' notice. No dates or anything. Barking mad?

I am interested in your apartment. Kindly inform me
if it is still available and final asking price so I
can make arrangements to make payment immediately.
I would like to move in with my own furniture.
I would appreciate a prompt response.

A scammer with a new spin on the subject I think! Though quite why he needs to say he's bringing his own furniture is a bit beyond me - maybe to look more legit somehow?

How have you dealt with it MG - or are you still ruminating? :lol: You sure get 'em in Leysin! Must be the altitude, affecting people in advance!

Asked him which country he had his furniture van parked, and where he was planning to stay. Deafening silence. :) Must be the aftermath of the palm-wine binge down in Lagos and the thought of composing this rubbish for another year.

Unless, ouch, you felt this was for real? Maybe baggage not furniture?

He wouldn't say he'd like to move in with his own baggage - that goes without saying! :D Relax, it's deffo the palm wine MG. Curious all the same ....

That's my lad! :lol:

What's he up to? I haven't had time to shop him in yet to Gmail.

Slightly unusually, a Googlemail address: drbrooks***@googlemail.com

Paul

My eyes nearly popped out when I saw that photo, do you have one for all of our scammers?
