Either some sucker fell for it or daft took it down due to fraud. I remeber when i was looking for a place one guy said you can look at the apartment but you will have to pay the deposit to go see it as I am now living overseas. Set alarm bells ringing in my head straight away was quick to send the advert over the the guards

I really hope it's that Daft realise. I guess it only takes one sucker. Imagine paying a deposit for somewhere before viewing it? :eek:

Seems its one of the lastest internet scams some innocent person desperate for a place to live. My view is if it looks too good to be true then it is. The place looked really too good to be true city center apartment with parking penthouse all foe 680 euro a month. The rent on those apartments usually was double that so to me something didnt smell right

Hello,

I just read your e-mail regarding my apartment located in :24 Abbey Street Lower, Dublin 1, Ireland. It has 2 bedrooms, 1 bathrooms, 1 kitchen and 1 living room.

I bought this apartment for my daughter during her studies in Dublin, but now she's back home permanently, so I'm renting it out.

We will not use the place any more, so you can rent it even for a long term.
The flat is fully furnished and renovated, as you could see from the photos.
You can use my furniture, or you can also use your own if you prefer. If you decide to use yours, you can store my furniture in the large basement cellar.
The place is fully equipped with air conditioning, dishwasher, microwave, refrigerator, washing machine, LCD TV, etc.

Also, very important, the utilities (water, electricity,Internet, digital TV,) are included in the rent of 600eur/month. The security deposit is 600eur, and you will get it back when you will move out (I will need a 30 days notice).

Now, a little bit about myself: My name is Gabriele Emilija wife of Daniel Emilija and I'm a 53 years old retired architect from London/United Kingdom.
I'm a pet owner myself, so I will have no problem if you want to keep a pet in the house, as long as nothing is damaged.

Unfortunately, my health and ongoing treatment don't allow me to do any travelling for the next few months, so I will not be able to come and meet you personally for a while.

However, this won't affect the rental at all. I can make arrangements to have a real estate agency handle everything for me.

I would like to know how many persons you intend to share the flat with, and for how long. Any other details about yourself would be appreciated.
So I guess this is it for now, I hope I didn't forget anything.

Friendly greetings from the UK!

Yeah, I wonder why they do that, price it so low?

Maybe it weeds out all but the most gullible people. i.e. if they believe the ad at that price, they'll believe anything.

Yeah, that crossed my mind. Scammers know what they're at, a higher rent price would attract people who would never hand over deposit + rent money before viewing a place. Better to just find a handful of gullible people at the lower price. I mean, a nice one bed in town would be way higher than 600 a month, never mind a two bed. So, really only gullible fools would respond.

To get the link from daft, just right click on the first image and copy image link. Don't open the pop up box.

Then, Go to google, click the "images" option in the top bar, then in the google search bar you should see a camera icon. If you click that, it will ask for the link to the image you want to reverse search.

The whole place could do with a lick of paint and new furniture, but overall it looks like a pretty decent flat to be honest.

The 7min walk to Connolly is accurate enough... if you were wearing a jetpack.

They've a crying chair for every room in the house though in fairness to them.

Got an email from Daft:

Hi Gullible Rube,

At Daft.ie, we noticed that you contacted the advertiser of the rental ad
at 1 Chatham Row, Dublin 2, Dublin City Centre on Sunday, 12/5/2013. The
advertiser is called Matilda Isobel.

advertiser may not be who they purport to be. The ad has now been removed
from our website and the advertiser has been banned. There is no need for
you to forward to us any emails you receive from them but do not respond to
them either.

It is best to cease all communication with potential scam artists like this
immediately if you become suspicious and, if you can, add them to your
blocked senders/junk list.

Please DO NOT SEND MONEY BY WESTERN UNION OR MONEYBOOKERS. It is not safe.

I can see a crossover property program coming, 'My Big Fat Gypsy Location, Location, Location'...

There are sooo many of these houses in england with pensioners living in them. Mrs. Bouquet is an accurate stereotype. Many a B&B, I stayed in england was like this.

OMG, got a response!

Hello,


Thank you reply to the advert placed. I personally own the property located in: 1 Chatham Row, Dublin 2, Ireland, and also want to rent it out , and I'm looking for a responsible person that can take very good care of it as we are not after the money for the rent but want it to be clean at all time and the person that will rent it to take it as if it were its own. Apartment have 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom, 1-kitchen and 1-living room, and the apartment features a range of facilities including washing machine, air conditioning, internet and phone, a car parking. The apartment was renovated in March 2012 and all the utilies are brand new. Also, I have no problem with pets. Minimum rental period is one month and can be extented to how much time do you need to leave there. The apartment is furnished as seen in the photos. The monthly rent is 1000 Euro including bills for hot water, cold water, gas, heat, electricity, cable TV, internet access.
I bought this apartment for me 6 years ago when my company sent me in Dublin to work, but nine months ago my company offer me a 8 years contract in United Kingdom, and now I decide to rent the apartment.


Now, a little about me so that we can get to know each other better. My name is Matilda Isobel and I am a 55 years old and my job is Assistant Finance Manager at Wolverhampton/ United Kingdom ( R&M Tax / Treasury Ltd ). The only inconvenience is that my job does not let me go, even for a single day. But this will not affect at all. I can make arrangements to rent the apartment from UK (at my expense, of course).


Thank`s for your interest and I look forward to hearing from you soon.


Assistant Finance Manager: Matilda Isobel

LULZ!!!!!

I love the title:
"Free money inexchange for accom"

Eh no, I think you'll find money in exchange for accom is called rent...
