flatshare sites?

[Zeromajor]

Need to move into a new place before the month's out - I work in aberdeen and being close to the city centre is pretty imperative - does anyone have any experience with flatshare/roomlet websites and can advise which get the best results, or which to avoid?

Gumtree seems to have a lot of activity but I only seem to be attracting 419 scammers, Flatshare.com professes to be free yet you can't reply to anyone without entering card details....

Any help/advice would be appreciated

try approaching estate agents directly. they may know landlords looking to fill rooms, especially in student areas. not sure if aberdeen is the same though

So far I have, other than gumtree:

www.moveflat.com
www.loot.com
www.easyroommate.com

One thing I've learnt is we should be clear - about the type of person you want living with.
