I saw your advert and i am sincerely interested in the room advertised as i will be moving to the UK as soon as i leave here ( Brooklyn NY ). Please contact me if you are still looking for a roommate.
I really do appreciate the breakdown details of the house. I'll be so glad if you can reserve the room for me and remove the advert, as i'll love to rent the place.

However, based on your mail i will be making a payment to move in. I must confess i'm comfortable with the cost and its quite reasonable and affordable. I had like to make the payment for the first month ahead of my arrival, and then i will make subsequent payment thereafter as i plan to stay for more than 12months. So i'll client to see you'll get the payment prior to my arriving date.
The things i will be moving in are as follow;
my Mercedes (C-class 2004 model) metalic green.
suite case containing my books
my 26' DELL PLASMA TV and DVD Home theatre
my clothes in three luggages
my desk top computer (COMPAQ) and pieces of furnitures.
Hope to hear from you soon if the room is still available for rent and the actual amount to move-in.
Regards
Lorah

I answered her back and ask her some referee and proof of her id..and then i google her job..and found out that it was refered as a scam !I've already lost 3 weeks for a supposed canadian flatmate..that was a fake one..i got a big cheque cashed it and at the last minute the guy asked me to transfer the remaining balance to some guy..no way ! I've reported the guy, and thanks to him, my bank account is on hold, for special investigation !!!!
