Accommodation scam
Daniel Monteiro is a 23 year-old student from Brazil. He studies Energy Engineering in University of Twente. Like every other student, he had his own quest searching for accommodation. Through the alternative housing handbook by the international housing office, he knew about the Student Union-Kamersite. This is where he found ads for available rooms in Enschede. In the ads list, he saw an appealing offer for a room in a detached house. The location was perfect; half way between the campus and the city center. Daniel then contacted the alleged owner named “Spencer Franc” via email.
