Hello,

if you've already paid the money try to block the transfer; if it has already been cashed make Western Union aware that the person having done this is a scammer (so that they may put out an alert for subsequent tries). You need to file a report with the local police station; amke them aware that this is an ongoing large-scale scam operating most likely out of Romania.

They tried to do the same to me!!! I was looking for an apartament in Maastricht so they contacted me and after some mails, they sent me the same message. They even sent me a copy of the passport of Jill Helena Hubertina Maria Simons and her picture!!!!

Thanks to your post I could find out that it was a fraud.

I think something should be done about this...

Hi to all,

has anybody reportet this cases to the police?
If yes, can you tell me what happend or what was the result.

I'm living in Innsbruck/Austria and i think the same person has stolen me 2100 Euro by offering a flat, that doesn't exist.

It would be great, if you can help me!

With best regards!!!

Usually very little comes out of this. If the payment was done by Western Union or Moneygram it's practically not traceable; if it was done to a bank account the police will likely find out that this was either a money mule (which then sent the money himself with Western Union to the scammer) or that the account was opened using a fake ID.
