Scam in England?

Hello,
as for me, she is not asking for anything at the moment, she goes by the name of Irène Uhlen.
I saw a house rental in Belgium on Vivastreet for a really, really low price, and I already had doubts, but I went on anyway. She gives me photos and a description, the house is really beautiful. She details that a month's deposit and the first month's rent are required upon signing the lease, and then I ask how many people are interested and she replies there are 10 people, but you are the only one I really want to rent to. I ask for her number and here it is: 0044 7035 964 396.

Thank you, I am convinced of what was going to happen to me now but so disappointed with my two children, we were waiting for them eagerly, it's disgusting but I stopped in time, thank you again.

Re hello, I don't know if you received my message, but please be very careful with these scams
as I have already told you, this man used my passport, and I reported it to the police station in my city. However, you should know that you must not open any email because he uses everything, even unusual photos and other sites that really exist. Best regards.

Je vois que mon premier message n'a pas bien pris, j'ai dû mal faire les manipulations. Voilà, je suis Brigitte Dupouy, mais mon prénom et mon nom de famille ne s'écrivent pas comme ça. Je suis victime de cet Éric Frégé, moi aussi. Il a réussi à faire une copie de mon passeport et à modifier ma date de naissance pour des soi-disant ventes de maison. Je ne connais pas du tout cet escroc, mais j'ai de suite porté plainte au commissariat et l'affaire est bien suivie, car je suis en contact avec la police qui m'a dit qu'ils me donneraient des nouvelles pour la suite. On me contactera. J'espère qu'ils mettront la main sur cet escroc. Cordialement.

Beware of phone numbers starting with +44 70...... These are centers that forward to another number without us noticing.

PLEASE MENTION THE EMAIL ADDRESSES OF THESE SCAMMERS
We will make good use of them (blacklists)

Thank you for your testimony, Cris.

And I would add:

- Be careful with England, which serves as a cover for West African scammers...
- Be cautious of phone numbers like +44 70 xxxxxxx : these are Flextel numbers that redirect your calls to the scammer's mobile (in this case, to Africa)
- These numbers can be obtained remotely; the lucky callers pay a surcharge that finances the service...

Hello..
Always and still the same story of the 'fake rental'...
'You can trust me' (So I can rip you off legally?)
'Secure Western Union secured' (Since when is W.U 'secure'?)
+44 70 31 81 44 67 FLEXTEL number (a beloved tool of scammers) premium rate and redirected to any point on the globe, let's bet on West Africa..
Beware!

Attention to RENOULT NORBERT flextel number as I was scammed out of over 1500 euros, I'm going crazy, so watch out everyone. But one question: can we file a complaint or something to recover the money???

I would add that I will have his papers checked by the gendarmerie and that it was absolutely no problem for him.

Hello..
Be careful with the verification... If a copy of the ID card has been sent to its legitimate owner (maybe 'gendarme') but there is a possibility of identity theft.. The gendarme having sent a copy to a scammer who in turn uses it for his own benefit..
If the number is in the form +44 70x yyyy it is a sure and certain scam! (Number redirected FLEXTEL..). If the person is in France, why then a U.K. number starting with +44..?
It's more than suspicious..
Be cautious..

Re:
If these documents were 'kindly' provided by a victim, then these docs indeed belong to Mr. X, owner of vehicle Y. A verification will confirm that these docs are not forged, but in NO CASE will they indicate whether your interlocutor is really Mr. X!!
Caution... The only way to verify: find the phone numbers listed in the 'directorye and call Mr. X to talk to him about his vehicle... Or go through the Gendarmerie so that they can contact their supposed colleague (home or work..).
The number in +44 is completely opaque, especially if it is a FLEXTEL number..
Caution, I don't feel too good about this 'affair'..
A+

same thing for me with an ad on Le Bon Coin: sale of a rare car at a low price, the name of the scam inventor: lucky brusdin. The phone number 44 70 caught my attention and I also came across your site while searching for this area code. When you call, you can easily hear sounds corresponding to a distant country...

Yes, I just fell victim to it lol... fortunately it was more fear than harm except for my little heart, I thought I had finally found love... be cautious and don't divulge personal info, especially.

Given the speed of the previous responses, I hope I won't be in the same situation, ^^ and have to wait a year or a few months.

Hello and thank you for this site. I am looking for a motorhome and came across a very enticing ad on Le Bon Coin. I am a very cautious person, and the person who will scam me hasn’t been born yet!!
"In fact, we have just been transferred abroad and not having the time or means to ensure the shipping of the motorhome, we decided to give it to anyone in need. It is indeed a CAPUCINE 107 MOTORHOME Like New in perfect condition, so here are the characteristics of the motorhome from the year 2006.
So please leave us an email if you are interested."
The ad starts with "in fact," no ad ever starts with that word, it sounds unsure of itself.
I think, you never know, I’ll send them an email to see if it’s true, they respond
"Hello,
We have just read your email regarding the acquisition of our motorhome and we inform you that it is still available. It has all its papers in order including (the registration document, the maintenance book, the insurance booklet, the certificate of non-pledge, the technical inspection OK and the already pre-signed donation deed that you must sign to take possession of the motorhome).
Being transferred to LONDON in the UNICEF account for a duration of 3 years, we decided to give our motorhome since after inquiries with shipping companies about the shipping of the motorhome to our new address in London, it was going to cost us very dear and that is the reason for our donation.
Before our trip, we entrusted our motorhome to a private delivery person in FRANCE who will handle the home delivery, so if you are interested, please provide us with your contact details as follows:

Name ..................................................................

First name .............................................................

Full address.........................................................

Phone numbers ...................................................

Date of availability .............................................

PS:
The €5000 represents the various expenses we incurred on the motorhome before our trip and that you will pay directly to the delivery person after the motorhome is delivered to your home.
Delivery is free for the person in France since we deposited a delivery guarantee with the delivery person before storing our motorhome with him, but it is chargeable if the person is outside France.

Here are the characteristics of our motorhome:
CHALLENGER CAPUCINE 107 MOTORHOME MODEL (2006)
REGISTRATION 4 PLACES
Mileage: 102,000 KMS
technical inspection OK
Kitchen equipped with a refrigerator
Clean water tank 120 liters - waste water 90 liters
Double glazing with mosquito net and blackout blind
Swivel passenger seat
Sink, toilet, washbasin -, shower, satellite dish, ladder, door for 3 bicycles.
Everything in very good condition.

We are waiting for your reply to get back in touch with the delivery person.

Best regards,"
From there, I push the limits and ask for a number to talk to Mrs. Mercier Angelle; finally, the so-called "she" replies by giving me her husband’s number: 0044-70-45-72-87-69
And from there, I think, strange number, I search the internet and BINGO, it’s just what I thought, it’s a scam! We really live in a world of fools!!!! But unfortunately, too many people still live in a fairy tale world and get taken in, it’s a shame....

No dealings over the Internet. Just scams!! So ask for a phone contact with the device of the person who sent you the email. They will not do it!! Don't go any further. This is indeed a scammer!
To find out where the email came from, check the IP address. You will already know where the message originated.
Search online for how to find the location of the computer used to send you the message.

I just ran into the same problem; fortunately, I just saw your discussion, yet another too enticing ad on Le Bon Coin! Here is a copy of the 2nd email:


In order for the appointment to be effective on Saturday with you, one last formality remains to be fulfilled to guarantee that you are really interested and that you have the means to rent the house:
As soon as possible, and by Saturday at the latest, your rental application must be complete, and as for the security deposit, instead of being by check or another method for security reasons and also to reassure us of the availability of funds, we would like it to be by urgent Cash Mandate, meaning you will go to deposit one month’s rent and one month’s security deposit, which totals €1300 by urgent Cash Mandate at the post office with our details that we will provide to you later
After this operation at the post office, the post office will issue you a receipt containing our details and the deposit information that you must keep very carefully with you. Therefore, you will receive a receipt that you will confirm to us by scanning it while hiding the secret information (Deposit Codes)
On Saturday starting at 6 PM, after visiting the house, my husband will prepare a lease according to your lease duration, and we will hand you the keys to the house, then you will hand us the urgent cash mandate receipt containing the deposit information so that we can encash the security deposit if our house suits you. Otherwise, meaning if the house is not to your liking, which we would find very surprising, you can still withdraw your money with the receipt that contains the deposit information. This is in a way a guarantee from me and a reservation for you.

And the phone number is: +447035932181
