Hi, Sorry but I've again a question about a person relating apartments to rent search. The reason I'm asking is, that I've had unfortunately already two scams during my search so I'm very careful yet.

I've sent a lot of emails to estate agents and one who came back to me is Angel Alarcón and she has sent me this email

Good morning, 

In two or three weeks I will have homes to rent.

Now I have bank assets to sell. I want to meet with you to offer them to you in case you are interested.

When can you meet me?

Regards.

Angel Alarcón

Explained to her that I want to rent not to buy, now she will meet me. Seems OK and I've checked her email address it is tucasaaqui2024@gmail.com strange is that there is an estate agency, but the name is Aqui esta tu casa and they have a different email address. Am I too concerned????

Thanks

If in doubt, forget it. I would stay away from any company using a gmail or a hotmail. Normaly it would be something like  info@tucasaaqui2024.com or similar. FIND SOMETHING ELSE!

I fully agree with kenneth1, it's not worth thinking about. Plenty of genuine places to visit. Personally I would never deal with online estate agents.

Don't go anywhere near it.  I made the mistake of dealing with online agents, bunch of cowboys, and that was years ago.

Good morning, Thanks a lot for the advise I really appreciate giving me your opinions!

Yes such people are quite bad, using the desperation of people trying to find somewhere to rent, because they know how difficult it is.

I'm very careful would not contact any private landlords only if somebody would recommend one. I prefer estate agents though I've to

pay them a fee. I've written to this lady asking for the address of her office, will see but still be careful.

Thank you once again and Happy Easter!!! By the way, please let me know if you know a honest and reliable landlord.

Thank you, feel quite lucky being a member of this forum and hope the day will come I'll be able to give advise.
