Just wanted to say thank you for potentially saving me from a scam. I told the contact that the room is no longer available but I wanted to say thanks for showing me examples of correspondence that were dangerously familiar to my own. These are the concepts that seem to be repeated: -Poor grammer -Sense of urgency -Suddenly demand FULL CONTACT INFORMATION, etc. -Not asking a lot of common questions about me, the room, or the neighborhood -They live in another country and need to pay more than what is owed so that you will cover a cost for them. Here is the last email I received from her before cutting off contact: Hello, Thanks for your return email.I am willing to pay for the price you mention for the rent, it is fair enough.....I am 30 yrs old who doesnt have pets.I dont drink or smoke.I am a christian and i dont go clubbing not late night parties.I am very honest and trust worthy. I dont move with bad friends and niether do i deal with drugs.I work with a construction company as a clerk. I am coming over there to stay over on a vacation and i will be working from home which will be on my laptop, i wont need a car since i wont be doing much of going out. I am ready to move in any time as soon as the room is ready.I will be leasing the room for 12 months but will be paying for the first month as a start and the house rent will be $550 The Check that will be issued will include the money for the rent of the room + the shipping cost. The Check would be drawn on a US bank . I would like to state clearly that i have some laugages that will be shipped to your address.I want my laugages to get to your address before i move in. I have a shipping agent who would take good care of this. so you do not need to bother yourself with the shipment. You will be required to cash the check and deduct the funds for the house rent and have the excess funds sent to my shipper via Western Union Money Transfer at one of their outlets around you in order for him to ship my laugages to your address ASAP. All neccesary transfer papers will be dully signed by the shipper on behalf of me (IF THERE IS ANY) when the shipper brings all my laugages to your address. I will be willing to entertain more of your questions that might arise . If you really show willingness and would really want to let out the room, please provide your CONTACT FULL NAME, PHYSICAL ADDRESS AND PHONE NUMBER so that I can have it forwarded to my travelling agents for immediate payment issurance. I await you quick response. Many thanks. |
