¡Con cuatro ojos!
Sigo la búsqueda… pero hay que andarse con cuatro ojos porque como puedan te timan :S. Hoy sospechosamente he recibido dos correos (no hace falta que los leáis, simplemente es para demostrar que son igualitos, incluso tienen los mismos muebles las chavalas).

Creo que lo único que cambia de uno a otro es el formato y la despedida, lo cual mosquea bastante. Más aún cuando a la tal Rebecca le digo que no puedo permitirme ese precio y sospechosamente y sin conocerme de nada es tan buena gente la chavala que me lo rebaja a 400 libras porque sólo quiere mi compañía. Eso sí, atención a la respuesta cuando le pregunto si un amigo puede ir a visitar el piso:
“i am so sorry i cant allow your friend visit the apartment…I dont deal with third parties…I deal with my potential flat mates alone…I had a bad experience about that once and i wouldn’t wanna make that mistake again…..
Thats why i sent you the picture page of my passport so there wouldn’t be any benefit of doubts……For you to ask your friend to visit the apartment on your behalf connotes doubt…So if you cant do this my way,i think we wont be able to proceed”
Y Emily no iba a ser menos:
“Got your email am at the office now i will really be a nice idea if your friend can come and view it…..but due to my job scendul i dont think we can make that possbile arrangement for now also i want to note that if you want me to make the reservation of the room for you till you come to to london i can but i need to know more about you before we can know proceed to the next level ….. becuse i need to informed my lawyer about this ? i will prefer to say that there is an agreement that we need to make before the payment can comence .”

son los dos en la misma direccion?
de todas formas, definitivamente tiene pinta de timo… si tienes tiempo, yo escribiria a los de gumtree para hacerselo saber y que retiren el anuncio… Y si no, siempre nos queda la alternativa de buscar su direccion IP en las cabeceras del mail… };P

Ellas no tienen ningún anuncio en la página, soy yo la que he puesto un anuncio y lo han leído… De todas formas las respuestas a mi AD me han llegado desde dos direcciones de correo distintas.

I have post an advertisement in GUMTREE and was contacted by Rebecca. Do you think she is for real, honest and genuine? Any advise?

ha-ha, this person is emailing everyone on gumtree, i also received it and thought it’s too good to be true, so i googled her name and i found this. it’s the new gumtree spam:)

Ic ic. But she has a passport and utility bill scanned and forwarded to me. Weird. How did you know she is a spam or maybe a scam?

Of course I’m not completely sure, but I’ve got several reasons to think like that. Did you read the email I sent you yesterday?
She gave me exactly the same description of the flat that another person, they even had the same furniture!. Plus when I asked her if a friend could visit the place, this was her answer:
“The price for the room can go for 450 pounds…..but at the same time,i am so sorry i cant allow your friend visit the apartment…I dont deal with third parties…I deal with my potential flat mates alone…I had a bad experience about that once and i wouldn’t wanna make that mistake again…..”
A bit wierd, don’t you think… Be very careful with gumtree, I found a lot of people trying to cheat me.
.
It can help to find it out if you invent that you’ve got a friend, a relative or sth there… ask if they can visit the place! Some of them will tell you that you have to pay first or that your friend has to show them the bank receipt first
PD.: It’s quite easy to get a fake passport and a utility bill, you just have to use the apropiate computer program. I could even take her passport and put another pic with photoshop and people wouldn’t even know if it isn’t real.

bueno, os informo que está tal Rebecca ya ha rebajado el precio a la mitad, tanto la habitación como el depósito…. a mí me la ofrece por 300 libras.
Hey gracias por la información, ya tenía la duda, pero tu la has disipado del todo… tampoco quiere que mi amigo que vive allí vaya a ver la habitación….

That Rebecca offered me a room WITH SAME SPECIFICATION, but I am not looking for a room in London, but in Edinburgh!! So she seems not to be real, honest and genuine……

lol It’s funny, but I wonder if there is anyway we can tell gumtree about this “girl”’s activity so anyone can be scammed.
I’m glad this post helped someone not to trust her
. Maybe we should send it to her… }:-).
