I wonder what he would do if we all booked the same dates in the same appartment?

are you sure its a scammer?or is he just fekkin stupid?
he has just given me his bank details after 1 email to him

^^I think he is a rookie at the rental scams ( I'm sure of the scam ) the telephone number does not appear on my hit list and he is still posting the URL to his website in the ads. After you whack their sites a few times they get a little smarter and stop posting the URLs and instead email you URL when they believe a real victim is on the hook.

Report the account and go for a second one. Let the rookie feel the love from eater.

bank account reported

Contact number is +4470 and email is a gmail. It is a scam.

No self respecting businessman would use gmail for his business (i have heard that some of my countryman did do that when internet was kind of new).

And +4470 is kind of expensive number. Site is registered for a year only.

@woody999: Reported to a mod. Thanks for this opportunity. Should it be reported to you, too?

Posted: Fri Jul 11, 2014 4:13 am

^^ the mods will take care of everything. You can add the pink poker yourself. Once you have made the report claim the piggy as you will not get a response to your report.

Wait a couple of days and then let the lad know that something is wrong with his account and maybe he will give you another one to report.

So are you guys just emailing that you're looking for a place to stay in Amsterdam and the idiot is handing you bank accounts? Dang. I think Janine (my character) is in need of some travel from her small Tennessee town and a furnished apartment sounds so much better than a hotel.

Posted: Fri Jul 11, 2014 11:15 pm

^^ exactly

The website is dead. Time to ask the lad what is going on and see if he is dumb enough to give you a new website.

He may ask you to use WU but i quess he knows that WU is not often used in europe.

Sent him an EMail expressing interest in his services since the website is closed.

He promptly got back to me asking for my check in/check out dates.

Anyone has any idea where this lad is physically located? Can't trace his gmail addy.

I'm going to see if I can get a few more out of him. I told him I'd go to the bank tomorrow morning, so tomorrow I'll send him a message saying it didn't work.

My character received one account, then after saying the transfer would take place Monday, received a second account. Now he keeps going back and forth as to which account the money should go into. Hopefully he'll cough up a third one out of confusion Laughing

This lad is pretty dumb (aren't they all?).

I asked him to suggest a nice place to spend a month's vacation. He doesn't even say where. He just quotes the prices and asks for the deposit.

P.S. I also asked him to mail me from Yahoo account, but he keeps sending mails from his GMail account, which I can't trace.

I told him I tried to send money to the account he gave me but it wouldn't go through, something about the account being closed. So he emailed me back and told me to go to a Western Union, despite the fact I told him I was from a very small town that had no WU. Now he keeps asking me where I'm from. I sent a small slap telling him I'm more than happy to go elsewhere for my travel accommodation needs, but he's saying they need to know where their customers are coming from.

Either the lad is running out of bank accounts or he's getting smarter.

Yeah. One and/or the other.

He refuses to write from anything other than GMail.

And he will not accept a Bank transfer or payment by Credit Card (obviously).

He insists it has to be Western Union or Money Gram to a James Carry in London.

He's completely shut me down. I threatened to spend my money elsewhere and he still insists on me driving to another town to use Western Union.
