Smile as if you were a child =)

Sólo he usado gumtree 3 días y es un p* TIMO.

” Miguel A. dice: es gumtree

Teresa- dice: gumtree es una página que ponen en contacto a gente que busca piso y timadores”

En tres días me ha dado tiempo a:

- Ligar con un tío de 39 años, debí haberme guardado la artillería pesada (y menos mal que no le mandé la foto en bikini O:-)):

“did I tell you I am a young 39:)))))))) as my last gf was 23:))))……my friends were not happy but it was fun:)))..hope you have a great time here. btw u seem a nice person, if u wanna get a different perspective of the city from a mature person let me know…..”

- A toparme con una señora que no entiende la finalidad de ver un piso antes de pagar… Se empeña en que para reservar la habitación y mostrar mi interés, mi amigo (muchas gracias Raúl ) tenía que llevar un justifijante de una transferencia hecha a su cuenta para mostrar mi interés. Vamos a ver señora… ¿no le parece bastante interés que haga ir a un amigo a su casa? ¿Se cree usted que su hobby es ir a ver pisos?

“So if your friend want to come, please let me see the payment make to your friend name and address so that i can allow him or her to enter and view vacant room.”

- Mis amigas Emily Cambell y Rebbeca Jan Dagg (ver anterior post).

- Mi amiga Cecilia que la pobre ayer me envió un correo copiado de otro y se le olvidó cambiar su nombre en la despedida.

“places to eat and drink. Let me know if is suitable with you if so you should be able to get back to me with Full name including your Contact address to make the agreement form for you to sign.
Sincerely
MARTA. MORERAS “

¿Se te ha olvidado cambiarlo de verdad o ya es por pereza? :S

Pero es que hoy la chiquilla me manda otro mail, mejor dicho un corta y pega de distintos anuncios, a los que ni siquiera se ha molestado en ponerle el mismo tipo y color de letra… y con fotos totalmente distintas a las del primero.

- Y luego tenemos al señor o señora (aún no lo sé por el nombre) Alleno, que o bien yo he bien encontrado un “chollo” de un piso con dos cocinas, o ya se podía haber molestado Alleno en coger una foto de un salón en el que no se viera la cocina, o al menos los muebles de ésta tuvieran los mismos colores.

Total que yo ya no me fío de mi sombra… y he llegado a la conclusión de que gumtree es un nido de timadores.

Al final creo que lo más sano y barato va a ser irme a un hotel de Londres los primeros días y una vez allí buscar piso en persona porque lo que es por internet no le veo futuro…

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).

- El primero de Emily Cambell:

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 .”

“Theresa,
I have had a lot of people interested in the flat. I told my friends and they say I am crazy:).  I think that they have persuaded me not to do this..hope you do not mind my change of mind…and hope we can keep in touch …may be you will change my mind:)))”

Creo que ha llegado el momento de usar la artillería pesada O:-) (I’ll make you change your mind, baby XD).

Buscando piso en Londres para el mes de Octubre me he encontrado con esta joyita :

“I thought I might give this a go…I have a two bedroom flat and wondered if a single female would be interested in staying with me…no strings attached, as long as you are trust worthy (references are a must in this case).

Why – well I would like to widen my social circles and for the right person I would be willing to let them stay for £1/per week…..so why, I say why not….just something completely whacky.”

No sé si estará buscando algo más aparte de compañía… O:-), pero nunca se sabe. Yo de todas formas le he mandado un correito (continuará…).

Aún así, si conocéis a alguien que esté buscando compañero de piso por esas fechas o que también esté pensando irse y no tenga nada… AVISADME, que me veo durmiendo debajo de un puente.
