Hey!

I have been looking for a room to rent in Eindhoven, and this is my first time searching for and renting a room. I have heard there are a lot of scams that happen with renting rooms and apartments.

I received this email from one person that is really dodgy, but friends have told me she is just being proper and probably not the best with english. Please tell me what you think. Removed names/places for privacy

Second email I get is

In order to proceed with the rentals procedures, there will be a need for our family lawyer will have to draw up an Agreement,the document is to give the both of us legal back-up, which will be signed by the landlord, the tenant and the main reason for this document to be prepared is for the both parties to be legally secured as regard the terms of our living together.

The document will be sent to you via e-mail so as for you to read through and understand it contents.

Moreso, if you eventually agree with the terms of the contract, you will have to proceed with the payment to our bank account and get back to me with the receipt of payment from your bank for reference purpose and I hope you understand what i am saying here?

The reason why you will have to send me the receipt of the payment from your bank in as for me to be able to send it to my late father's lawyer who has been working with him for the past 14 years and who has also been working for me since my father died 18 months ago.

The following are the required details need for the preparation of the tenancy Agreement Form: 1. A scanned copy of your ID 2. Your moving-in and moving-out date. 3. You current address

Also, i will in return send you a scanned copy of my ID so that you can be able to see for your self that you are dealing with a legit and serious minded person.

I will await to be able to have the required details so that our family lawyer can be able to prepare the contract.

Am I just being paranoid I should I dodge this one?
