Hallo,
Auf eine Wohnungs-Suchanzeige bei craigslists bekam ich ein EMail-Offer. Es klingt sehr verlockend, aber ich bin zu unerfahren, um einschätzen zu können, ob dahinter eventuell was unseriöses (Geldwäsche oder ähnliches) stecken könnte. Wer kann dieses Angebot einschätzen? Ist es riskant, darauf einzugehen?
Hier der (anonymisierte) Text der Mail:
Hello...
My name is ...
I am 48 years old and i am an european . I
come to the states often mostly for business purposes
cos i deal mostly in jewellry. I supply watches,bracelets,wedding rings and
jewellry to stores in the states and europe
Infact that is my family business cos we are from Switzerland. I bought a
house last year in Texas cos i love it there
It is peaceful and with a loving neighbourhood. Unfortunately my father
passed away on the 2nd of october,2006
and as the only son in my family, i have to go back home and take care of
the family business in Geneva [Switzerland] and i realised
that it will be very difficult to supply goods to my clients again in the
United states while am away and it will definitely
cost me a lot to come over to receive payments cos they pay mostly in
checks and certified money orders .So to run the business from
there will be difficult and will be impossible especially the aspect of
payment and i dont also want to lose my clients or
customers there . So what i intend doing is that i am looking for some one
to stay in my house free of charge .
I dont want to sell the house cos i just bought it and i will have all the
rest papers by march,2007 ending . I am simply
looking for someone that is honest and trustworthy and clean for two
reasons
1. to maintain the house while i am away and
2.To help me receive payments from my clients within the
USA on my behalf in his/her name and have it cashed cos they pay mostly checks and certified money orders and have the funds wired to me here in
Geneva,switzerland thru money gram transfer/western union
transfer . you dont have to pay me a dimme for the accommodation. its just for the purpose of keeping my business going on in
the United state.and if you wanna keep this assignment as a job let me know so i can allocate 10% on each payment that you
receive that is if at all, you dont wanna live in the house or if you are
far from the house..........
The house is a great one with clean bathrooms,walk in closet,A gym ,All
rooms and living room furnished with electronics and very close to any
means of transportation . If you want i can email you more pictures and if you are interested let me know It is a very lovely house and there is no way
you wont like it.If you are interested in handling my business in the state
and keeping the house neat
please send me your:
