List of scammers on Craigslist Paris

The names listed here are just a few of the aliases regularly used by habitual Craigslist scammers. There are thousands out there.  Beware of anyone who offers to rent you an apartment while claiming to live abroad, and remember, NEVER WIRE MONEY TO STRANGERS!

    Hello,

    I am from Australia. I was wondering about this company?

    I found to negative feedback online ie tripadvisor

    I was wondering if you could tell me if they are reputable, they are asking for a deposit ASAP.

    Thank you for your time

    Any request for deposit “ASAP” is suspect.
    A reputable agency will simply go with whoever sends the deposit first, they will not have to pressure you.

    Hey,

    I just had something similar to Deanna. Some person Anna Peter from apparently the UK put some advertisement of a drumset on a Dutch forum (www.marktplaats.nl). This was a ‘too good to be true’ offer, so I sent some emails and after I asked for a phone number to talk things over things got quiet. I sent another email and it was unreachable (annpter@gmail.com). Mail bounced back; it appeared that Gmail blocked or deleted the address.
    It also had a very strange phone number (040-2449171, located in Eindhoven for the Dutch people) which appears to be a fax number or computer attached to it. I get a bunch of beeps and static from that number.

    Eitherway, I’m glad I did not buy into this crap. I hope this prevents other people to not get involved into this kind of scamming.

    All the best,
    Erik

    company called Rent.com and they will handle the payment and delivery for us. If you want to know

    I received an house sitting offer for a Paris apt. with only a security deposit for 1 month. I cannot find the owners in the Paris white pages who say they are in the U.K. for medical care. I have sent no money and they are willing to send keys to a friend who can look at the apartment in a beautiful area on the edge of the Marais. They say the apartment was trashed when they tried renting and so they just want a caretaker. What can I do to vet them. We talked once over the phone and they asked good questions of me. Thanks, for your advice.

  41. The real Gustavo Balague Says:

    Dear all

    Thanks for your e-mails.
    Do you know how to report this to other competent authorities?
    This person has stolen my identity. He used the name of

    BERN GUTMANNSBAUER berndgutman@ymail.com

    to scam me. The reason why he has got my passport is becaused he scammed me also. I send it as a prove of identity to don’t send him money. At the end I also sent money and this ……. didn’t have enough with that that he is stealing people’s money with my passport. I am in Japan and I had my passport re-issued.

    Please report to the authorities. Lets see if we can catch this….. I
    preffer not to say what I think of him…

    Hi there!

    How can I add to this list the guy’s who stealed my money via Craiglist?
    He also stealed my identity with a photo copy of my passport and now it’s using it to steal people all around the world… The name’s and e-mail ge used are as follows:

    Bernd Gutmannsbauer berndgutman@ymail.com
    gusbalague@ymail.com

    This is the e-mail I received from someone in Paris:

    Mr. Balague,

    I’m writing because my girlfriend, who is searching for a vacation rental in Paris, was recently in contact with someone claiming to be you. I wanted to verify that it was in fact you with whom she was conversing. If not, I’d recommend that you not email the person claiming to be you, who obviously has your passport, but instead we think of a way to get the person arrested. Let me know.

    Galen

    Thanks for your help!

    Hi thanks for this site. I was getting suspicious with this “Mark Hart” guy under the address of xnephii@yahoo.com which I found on this list using Google. He said he was from London but his spelling was terrible. In the end he did say “I’m on business but just make the deposit and I’ll send you the keys.” I was never about to send the deposit before seeing the inside obviously, but it’s good to get confirmation from this site that he is in fact a fraud. I hate these people.

  49. AlmostScammed Says:

    “Justin Fenton” is another name being used by a scammer, this time in Chicago. Its probably just a fake name or the name of some poor sot who’s being impersonated. Guy put up an add on craigslist for an apartment that sounded way too good to be true, said he was in the UK and would take payment up front (3 months!) over Google Checkout, etc. etc. all the usual bullshit one reads about. He was asking for a lot of money, and he even provided a scanned drivers license to bump up credibility. He also said he went to Harvard and also provided an image of his “diploma.”

    I want to report as well as scam from “Gus Balague.” I have been trying to rent an apartment in Amsterdam. “Gus Balague” claimed to have moved to London for a job in interior design. The real Mr. Gus Balague seems to be indeed a person working in interior design living in London, and his name seems to be utilized by this scammer. The scammer is not very clever, but could be harmful to many. Thank you for reporting scammers on your site.

        Hi guys,
        thanks for the heads up on the fake Gus Balague. I put on an ad for a Paris rental. I was a bit suspect he needed my birth date for the application. Then I thought it seemed like way to good a deal compared to others. (300euro for 15 days in the 1eme) I googled his name & came across this fabulous website! Now I know more than half the people that messaged me are frauds!

        Thank you so much.

        Thanks,

  63. Sophie Says:

    Hi guys,

    Yep my friends and I were also looking for an apartment in Berlin and we advertised on Craigslist, we actually got the generic email as written above by George. He gave the email address: gusbalague@ymail.com. I, myself couldn’t believe the offer and I think he sensed my skepticism so he reassured me by sending me the names of references…here is his reply email:

    The monthly rent of 800EUR also covers all utilities and there’s no extra fees to be paid. I’m so sorry you might not be available to view the apartment prior to your move in as my contact..a friend in Berlin…is present out of the country. He is in istanbul for business and he will be there for a while.
    As reference you can contact Mr Petrov who stayed in the apartment for 6 weeks late last year through petrov.aaron@yahoo.com He is a Russian and he was visiting Berlin to prepare and attend his friend’s wedding ceremony. Also you can contact Victoria Anderson who used to be my neighbor before she moved to Paris Feb this year. Her email’s vicandy@ymail.com Feel free to contact them any time at your convenience.

    SO BE CAREFUL!!!! Obviously he has created these fake email accounts to reassure you…I’m pretty sure he has read this thread and knows his days scamming people are numbered.

  65. Debra Says:

    There are a several scammers using poor Gus Balague’s name and passport, they must be passing it amongst themselves. We almost got taken and seeing the people here as well as on other websites for fraud who have had similar experiences really doesn’t help, it makes me feel helpless because I don’t see how the scammers can be stopped. However, the more places one posts the name, email address, etc. of the scammer, the more the name will show up in searches, so if you have the time, please do so.

  66. Clay Risen Says:

    Ditto on Gus Balague, from Berlin. A different apartment, though; this one is in Mitte. His response to my follow up is below.

    I’ve dealt with several CL scammers recently, both in trying to sublet my place and trying to rent an apartment in Berlin. It’s frustrating, but I’ve learned a few things. First, always do research: Google any names, odd strings of words, anything that might lead you to a site like this, where scammers are discussed. Also, never rent from someone who isn’t in town. I know it limits the range of possibilities, but it’s worth it. Third, if you can get a friend to check it out, from the inside, do so. Even if you can’t, ask the rentee if you can have someone check out the place before you sign anything. If they hem and haw, chances are it’s a scam.

    Thanks for your reply. Hope you do understand that the most important issue is the upkeep of the apartment. The size of the apartment is 62sqm and its on the 2nd floor. I have attached some pictures of the apartment, I took them a day to my departure.
    The apartment is located on Wilhelmstr, Berlin 10963, Germany. In the Mitte district between Potsdamer Platz & Checkpoint Charlie. The apartment is only a short walk from the Friedrichstrasse shopping mile, Checkpoint Charlie, Gendarmenmarkt,Brandenburger Tor and Potsdamer Platz. It is also very well connected to public transport.
    Nearest Metro / Subway: Kochstr.. – 0.3 Kilometers
    Nearest Bus / Tramway: Kochstr. – 0.3 Kilometers
    Nearest Airport: Tegel – 10 Kilometers.

    Here below is a copy of the rental application form, if still interested fill it out and get back to me. Note: the keys and necessary documents will be sent to your present address filled on the form.

    I too was almost a victim of Gus Balague AKA Nathaniel Tyan Burns and now AKA Edwin Bekeens@e.bkeens@ymail.com. Only this was a romance scam.Told me his wife died in his arms, mom was sick needing brain surgery. He tried to get money from me to help pay for his “moms medication” then tried to get me to open up a bank account in my name so he could do “business” in the USA. “”Edwin Bekeens” claims to have been a Metro police officer and his best friend “Tom” is still on the force. HIs also claims to live in London with the phone number 011447024053762. This is a sick man. This man sent a copy of a passport, several pictures of the same person at different ages. He was suppossedly a computer software engineer. So apparently he has a new identity now so beware!!!!

  95. somebody Says:

    I had a bad feeling when I got the first answer of one of the Craigslist fake landowners: language changed/worsened, pictures were too good to be true, pictures didn’t match the description, money transfer before contract and so on. Meanwhile I realised that my “landowner” just turned two years younger. Loooool! So I did some research on the web and came accross this website. You make Internet a safer place! Thanks!

    Here some rules (applying for my case in particular):
    - cross-check all information (some details might suddenly change)
    - check the language (does it change?)
    - contract ALWAYS before or at the same time as any kind of money transfer
    - get a visit, don’t trust the pics (in my case: never answered my visit request)
    - use our brain and go with your guts!

    Bonjour,
    how are you today,well i have 2 separate bedrooms apartment and you
    can see the information’s and
    the pictures of the rooms and kitchens attach to this information’s
    for you to know what i have
    for rent and the apartment is well furnished with the following
    facilities ,furnished and
    with internet wireless and communications access,the equipment such as
    electronics,cooker,drier,refrigerator,chairs,gas cooker,internet,
    washing machine,dryer central heater,DVD,VCR.

    The rent for the whole apartment per calendar month is 1000 euros and
    this include the the bills for water,gas,electricity so you don’t have
    to pay for any
    extra charges while the security deposit is 600 euros i hope you know
    this stand for caution fee,but if you want to share the apartment by
    renting a single room then you ll have to pay 500 euros which you dont
    have to pay for any other charges but only the security deposit and
    each of the room has a private bath so you don’t have t share the bath
    with the other flatmate in case you want to share the apartment.And
    Caf is also available for the apartment.

    The apartment is located at 22 Rue Du Sommerard, 75005 Paris,Located
    only two minutes walk from the Luxembourg gardens, the Sorbonne
    university, the Pantheon and the Notre Dame cathedral,the apartment
    also can link you a quick access to the main metro and RER lines,
    making it a very central point.

    I hope with all the details i have provided for you including the
    pictures will give you the idea of what i have for you in my apartment
    and also i ll be very happy if you can be able to show some
    seriousness about the apartment because i have lot of time wasters who
    already waste my time on the apartment before because i work in
    Edinburgh at Scotland and it is not easy for me to be coming from
    Edinburgh to Paris if i have not found someone serious in renting the
    apartment but if you re okay with the pictures and the rent cost then
    i hope you ll have to show some commitment for me to be sure that you
    re really serious in renting the apartment.

    Another email frm the same scammer;
    Hi
    if you want to move into the apartment i think i can come to fix you
    in the apartment on Friday but we ll meet on Saturday because i will
    have to leave Edinburgh on Firday when am through at office,and we can
    meet on Saturday morning and i ll fix you in the apartment and go back
    to Edinburgh on Saturday.so i think if you want then i ll have to make
    the the Moving In Date,Saturday if you dont mind moving in the
    apartment on Saturday.but you ll have to make the payment for a month
    rent and security deposit in advance via the western union money
    transfer and the payment for one month is 500 euros and the security
    deposit of 600 euros and the security deposit ll be refunded back to
    you after your stay in the apartment.

    the lease agreement contract ll be send to you via the email and after
    you sign this then you ll scan the signed page back to me and you ll
    make the payment of one month rent and security deposit once i confirm
    the payment i ll be in Paris on Friday night.so if you are okay i will
    send the lease agreement contract to you tonight but i ll need your ID
    number to put on the lease agreement contract.
    thanks

    And another;
    Hi
    i think i need to let you know that i ll need to confirm the payment
    of a month rent and security deposit before i comes to Paris and this
    is the reason why i said we should sign a lease agreement contract and
    that i ll provide my scan ID for you to know who you are dealing with
    and also the certificate of the ownership because i have come to Paris
    twice based on promise that they are ready to rent the apartment and
    pay immediately they see the apartment.but if you can not make the
    commitment then i think we ll need to forget about this because i
    have waste my time and money in the past and this is the reason why i
    have to make sure that you make the commitment.

    And again;

    Hi
    i know it ll be hard to find someone to that but i want to let you
    know that all this based on trust because for me to scan my ID and
    scan the certificate of ownership to a tenant will proof to them and
    also to make them believe i want to rent the apartment,so i your case
    i know you like to rent the apartment but you just need to be sure
    about it and i also need someone to make a commitment before i ca come
    to Paris because some student have waste my time in the past
    promising they ll pay immediately they see the apartment.But if you
    have a friend or relatives in the UK this could solve the problem
    since i just need the proof if you have the payment for the apartment
    then you can make the payment to your friend name or relatives name at
    the western union money transfer and when you make the payment to your
    friend then send me the proof like the western union money transfer
    receipt for me to be sure that you have make the payment.but if you
    don’t anyone in the UK then you can make the payment to your friend or
    family name in Paris,the person you ll make the payment to his or her
    name will be the beneficiary of the payment ad when i confirm this
    then i ll come over to Paris on Friday night and we can meet on
    Saturday morning and i will fix you in the apartment then we ca go to
    the western union money transfer to take the payment and i ll pay the
    charges of the western union money transfer myself.if you can be able
    to do this then i think it ll make you feel good because you are not
    making the payment to me only what you ll need is the address to make
    the payment.

    and again from the same scumbag;
    Hi
    i dont know how you ll feel about this and i don’t mean your friend
    should be the one to take the payment because i will be the one to pay
    for the charges when we meet on Saturday i just need the proof,so if
    you like you can use any of your relatives as the receiver and when i
    meet you on Saturday Morning and after fix you in the apartment then
    we ll both go together to the western union money transfer outlet to
    take the payment and i ll have to give you the charges of the transfer
    so i have to know how much you use to make the transfer.here is the
    address you ll use at the western union money transfer 25 princess
    street EH2 2AN Edinburgh Scotland and am trying to fix scanner at work
    so i can scan my ID to you

    His other email is: edpapa9@gmail.com

    thanks for the posts! I almost bought the advertisement from Paris.

    his china phone number that he provides is: +8615000095772

    If you look carefully at the email he sends you in response to your interest in the add, it looks like a “cut and paste” from some other website. He DOES NOT answer your direct questions via email.

    We actually called this person (before we found this website). The guy does answer but he doesn’t answer any of your direct questions. Then sends the application that looks homemade.

    We stopped it there because of this website.

    Thank you so much…really saved us money and headache and emberrassment

      My Dear,
      Glad to read from you. I really appreciate your interest in my apartment… My full name is JANE LOUISE MILLAR, I’m from London (United Kingdom), i travel a lot due to the nature of my job. I work as a representative of my company, i work with a fabric company based in U.K., i was recently transferred to Singapore to gain a market for my Company.
      In order to widen our market, i was saddled to bring our product close to people of Singapore, i was also given the job of handling the market.
      However, I’m presently in London, i will be back to Singapore by 28th January, 2010.This is the reason I want to rent out two rooms out of my apartment, because I would still come down to Singapore to continue my job. I can reduce the rent if you can promise me that you will keep the apartment clean and tidy. Tell me more about you.
      Therefore i want a trustworthy and reliable person so that my mind can be at rest when on business trips. Reply me so that we can proceed.
      Take good care of yourself and be a NICE FLATMATE…
      Thank you for getting back to me once again.

    My Dear,

    It’s a great pleasure reading from you again. I’m so glad to realize that you are a very honest and straight forward person. I really appreciate it. I know quite well that we’ll really enjoy each others company sharing the flat. I can reduce the rent for you to $350 per month with all bills included as you can promise me that you are ready to keep the apartment clean and tidy.
    I make a deposit of my spare keys at the DHL OFFICE. So that anyone who is really interested should collect the keys and move in after making payment, since I can’t entrust anyone with my apartment keys.I would make available a CONTRACT LEASE form for you to sign as soon as possible. So, i would need to prepare this with your details, so provide me the following,
    (Full name ………………………)
    (Age…………….)
    (Contact number ………)
    (Moving in date …………)
    (Present address ………)
    I will like to know how you want to receive the keys after making your payment either you want the keys to be delivered at your door OR you want to go the DHL OFFICE to pick up the keys with the reference number of the keys given to me after making the deposit of my keys.
    I will be willing to send to you a scanned copy of my passport just to assure you that you are secure and in a safer hands.
    Hope to read from you soon.

    Till then take good care of yourself and be a NICE FLATMATE.

    Best Regards
