What will happen is the 'landlord' will say they're out of the country and can't physically show them around but pay him/her the deposit and first month rent via Western Union and he/she will post the keys etc etc. You'd be appalled how many people I've dealt with over the years who have fallen for these scams.

Then this ad pops up: the right location, the right price, all done up, and with a nice touch: plasma screen tv mounted on the wall!!! That was the only one I liked and it turned out to be a scam! We emailed the ad and got a message from daft saying they had suspicions about who put the ad up. A few hours later we got this hilarious email from the poster in question telling us more about this unbelievable place, lowering the price by 200 euro, and asking us to send a picture of ourselves :eek:. I thought about leading them on for a laugh but my partner thinks it's a bad idea. Shame.
