Hey, I came across this scam to rent an apartment in Prague.
The price was too-good-to-be-true also.

Thank you for answer , the price is for the total apartment .
My name is Chehade Sara and I am working at Hospital and I am the owner of the apartment . I lived in this apartment until 03 March 2022 , My job there has an
initial contract for three years although this may be extended.They moved me in United Kingdom , London ( PALS Whittington Hospital ) for new project, so the
apartment is available for short and long-term . The apartment is fully furnished with all the necessary equipment and appliances. As you saw in the pictures it is in
excellent condition, very clean and well kept. The rent will be 15.000 Kc per month including utilities (hot/cold water, electricity, Internet, cable TV) and parking
space .
You have full access to all building amenities. That's all I can say for now until you have a taste of my place.You can rent in short term and long (1 month minimum
and 3 years maximum). The domiciling will be possible .
In the meantime, can you please confirm the following:
· How many people would be living at the property?
· When would you like to move in?
· What term/length lease would you like?
· Do you have any pets?
If further interested, please give me some information about yourself (age, job, lifestyle or whatever you think makes you a good tenant).
· You will see the apartment after I will explain you step by step how the viewing procedure works .
Please feel free to ask any questions ,
Thank you

Thank you for responding .
Due to the current situation we can do this transaction through biggest estate agency from world , Airbnb (https://www.airbnb.com/plus ) . In this way, you will meet with the agent in less than 48 hours to inspect the apartment and you will be able to view the apartment . To avoid any misunderstanding I will be gladly to explain you step by step how the viewing procedure works:
To reserve the apartment I need to send some details :
. When would you like to move in(exact date) :
. Period of the contract:
. Adults:
. Name:
. Address:
. Valid Cell phone number /Whats app to agent Airbnb contact you :
. A copy of your ID,passport or driving license by email ( scan or photo) and a picture of you for inspection and to prepare all necessary papers for you to become a future tenant.
Once I get your details, I will contact Airbnb with them to start the procedures and I will give you the link with my listing on their website,there you can book my apartment.
You will complete the Booking and pay to Airbnb for confirm your reservation (The deposit consists of first month rent + the security deposit (15.000 Kc this amount you will receive back after finish the contract )= 30.000 Kc to Airbnb and is just to reserve the apartment and not a commitment. You have full payment control until you will check the apartment), you will meet with the agent in less than 48 hours to inspect the apartment and make the papers.If you will be satisfied with the apartment, you can move there in the same day. All you have to do is to sign the rental contract and Airbnb will release the payment to me. I'm quite confident you will like the apartment, but if not, you still have the option to cancel, and get your deposit back from the agent, immediately but I am sure that you will be happy after you will move in the apartment .Agent of Airbnb check the apartment before and everything is OK , the apartment is like on the photos.
Let me know if everything is clear ?
Thank you
Sara
