Follow Ups/Extra Information. Most recent is listed first.

I've found an offer of "lovely 1br apartment in Paris for 860EUR". I was silly and naive enough to trust this offer and to send my personal data. The scammer was kind enough to offer a 100EUR discount if I agree to pay 3 months and a deposit ahead.
I've got suspicious when the person refused to skype or to send me an additional ID. The person was also willing to sign a contract and even provided a draft of the agreement.
Unfortunately I've provided my ID, so lookout for scam under Petrikevich last name and ask for additional ID or documentation.
Best regards and be careful!

I have got the exact same email formats seen here. Replied to him with my details, no ID photocopy though.
When he asked money, I became suspicious. He is offering an amazing apartment in the best quarter of Paris for a very cheap price.
He is referring to this site: http://paris.en.craigslist.fr/apa/3906773026.html

Photos from the Craigslist post for this too-good-to-be-true 860 euro Marais apartment are actually from a luxury apartment in Rome (http://www.romesweethome.com/apartments-rental/rome/spanish-steps/augustus-luxury-apartment.asp) -- which is 300 euro a night!
DO NOT give him your ID because as anonymous posted above, he will use your identity in the next scam, like mine where it looks like he did use your name, Vasilis... In the second email he even links to the person's personal website where, of course, the email and telephone numbers are different. What a jack-off.

Yep, same guy tried to scam me *twice* yesterday. After I told him I found out, he attempted to extort me for 400 euros so as not to use my identity for the next victim..
I don't know if he will, but be on the lookout for any persons named 'Vasilis' (my first name) renting apartments in Paris..
