I have been looking for rental property and received an email telling me a property I had requested info on was available. I didn\'t recall the property - it is an area I was looking at, huge and beautiful. VERY cheap for what it is and over Christmas/NY period - even offered a 20% discount, which is crazy for that time of year (it is summer in Australia, so beachside properties are snapped up at Christmas time, which is our long summer holiday period). Has UK phone number and gmail email address, which seemed odd. Another report on this site (scamdex) says the phone number is a timber shop in the UK... I haven\'t rung it.

The email seems legit because it was for a property in the right area, I was actively looking for a property to rent and it is for the right number of occupants (I have been searching for accommodation for 3). The price, inclusions, London address and gmail email address seemed \'wrong\', and I don\'t recall seeing the property before... but I\'d sent a lot of enquiries off in the last few days. Clearly they are accessing the content of these enquiries.

Since you’re here …
we have a small favour to ask. More people are visting Scamdex and Scamalot than ever but advertising revenues are falling fast and we have no 'product' to sell. And unlike many informational websites, we haven’t put up a paywall or membership barrier – we want to keep our site as open as we can. So you can see why we need to ask for your help. Scamdex/Scamalot websites takes a lot of time, money and hard work to keep running. We do this because we hate to see our fellow humans getting scammed out of their hard-earned money by low-lives.
