I received the following email about an apartment in Berlin that I did not attempt to contact. I am pretty sure it is a scam. Hopefully if anyone googles his email address or the address of the Wohnung (12055 Berlin Neukölln Karl-Marx strasse 223) they'll find this before getting scammed themselves.

Hi Janina!
As I said in the description, I'm 25 years old, from Spain, and I'm a pedagogue. I like almost everything related with culture, and also like doing sport and meeting people. I speak Spanish as mothertongue, and I'm able to communicate in German and English. Probably I'm quite easy going as a flat mate.
Right now I'm in Valencia (Spain) and I will come at 10th January. It wouldn't be a problem for me to pay the whole month. The only thing I'm not going to do is to transfer in advance anything, due to the hight rate of fraud in Berlin (I had already got 4 fraudulent answers from 4 fake flats).
I will be happy to get an answer from you,
happy new year,
José.
