Once again, we suggest conversations between only two people move to the instant messaging system.

And with that, this thread is now locked. We kindly advise moving private arguments to the GoKunming messaging system, which now features group chats.

Have a nice day.

It has come to our attention that at least two registered users are fraudulently posting classified ads for apartments in Kunming.

The scammer(s) use different names every time, but follow this specific pattern:

- Describes hi-end apartments
- Claims to be overseas (usually in London)
- Promises to mail the keys to interested parties
- Requires payment before apartment can be viewed
- Usually replies with this email address: emily_brenard35@hotmail.co.uk

If you encounter a classified ad such as this, please get in touch with GoKunming immediately through the contact form.

If you are certain you have dealt with this scam and can offer any other details, please post them here.
