Trust me if it's the last thing I do I will bring the Ju Ju Magick onto this individual.

Well I thought the message I got was too good to be true! I got a "whatsapp" from this person, using the number 07944791020. Glad I did my research, thanks!!!

Just get in touch with "laura carter" .
I posted a wanted ad on Gumtree for a spare room.
I received the exact same message form "laura carter the 25yo designer". Beautiful flat in brick lane bla bla.
As I am curious I Google her name when she start talking about giving deposit before viewing,  and find out this page! (Thank god)
The email is lauracarterme@gmail.com
But was not the same number, was 07557 257973 she joined me on whatsapp...

I got exactly the same message regarding a flat in Brixton:

Hello Daniel,

I am Laura and i do have a 3 bedroom house with garden, which am looking to rent out 2 of the ensuite double rooms.

The rent is £700 per room per month including all bills. The property is located in Brixton.

I would need you to provide me with your email address to send you more details and photos of the property.

Kind Regards

After I expressed my interest I received the following email:

Hi Dan,

I have gone through your details and i am willing to rent the room to you.

Like i explained to you in my previous email i reside in Birmingham and would need some sort of commitment before i can come down to meet with you for the viewing.

I am sorry but i don't accept reference, bank statements, cheques, money orders or bank drafts i have had people deceive me with that, and won't accept that from anyone, i have had my own fair share of rental experience since i put this flat out to let.

So i will need you to make the payment of £700 to me for your deposit which will stand as holding deposit before i can come down to meet with you for the viewing, but if after the viewing you decide not to rent the room anymore then i will refund the £700 to you instantly.

First we will have to sign the tenancy agreement contract, which i will send to you via email for you to sign it as well and email me back a copy of the signed contract. The contract will state that once you sign it, you will be making the payment of £700 as holding deposit for the property and will also state that the holding deposit will be refunded to you instantly after the viewing if you choose not to rent the room.

If this is ok with you, i will need your full name and current address which i will input in the contract before signing it and emailing it to you for you to sign it as well, then you email me back a copy of the sign contract after which i will provide you with details for the payment of the holding deposit.

Let me know.

Kind Regards

Laura

So i will need you to make the payment of £1000 to me for your deposit which will stand as holding deposit before i can come down to meet with you for the viewing, but if after the viewing you decide not to rent the flat anymore then i will refund the £1000 to you instantly.

First we will have to sign the tenancy agreement contract, which i will send to you via email for you to sign it as well and email me back a copy of the signed contract.

This conman seems to be having properties world wide.

I posted an ad on gumtree and was so quick to reply

Hi ,

The property address is 25, Flint Court, 160 Thornton Road, Thornton Heath CR7 6BB.

I have attached the photos of the property and i will like you to tell me about yourself if interested. The rent is £1000 per month including all bills.

A lil about me : Am a 36years old fashion designer, very friendly.
I live in Birmingham. Reasons why we want to rent this place out is so that there will be a permanent occupant that will take care of the flat furniture's and keep the surroundings clean in my absence. We just need life in the flat.

About the flat : The flat was once a family flat till my old parents acquired a new property in Spain and moved, so i have been left in charge of this flat and nobody occupies the flat at the moment.

Concerning viewing : I am willing to meet for viewing as soon as possible but i can only travel from Birmingham to attend to serious tenants.

Move in Requirement : First month rent and one month deposit is required for your move in

I have a tight working schedule caused by my upcoming fashion show week, which preparations are on for at the moment with my coordinators.

Thanks and warm regards,

Laura

Four years on and the number is changed and the name is now Laura Carter but the email is identical.

Yes that is the number... I nearly fell for it.
