Thank you for warning everybody else about this problem, Nisha.

It's an old scam. If you google some of the text, you'll find the exact text on this site: https://www.scamwarners.com/forum/viewt … mp;t=93971

DBA is a very used online service when it comes to apartments and rooms.
They are aware that there are many fake ads and they encourage you to inform them if you think an ad may be fake. They will then look into the matter.

Fake rentals are very often located in Copenhagen or in Aarhus, the ad itself is written in Danish, but the correspondance will be in English.

Read their good advice here so you avoid falling in the hands of scammers.
