From: serascoty11@aol.com

Hello Leaser,

*Total rent Required before moving in
* Utility Bills

I will be anxiously waiting for your email ,I want you to know that i really need the room now and i am the serious type paying rent ,when emailing me please tell me more about the place and more pics if you have...I am open to any type of lease..


Kind Regards


Sarah

2nd email...

Salut


Thanks so much for replying my email,I really do appreciate it,. I would have loved us to see before making any plan but i really have alot of things to do right now,But will be okay if you can tell me more about the place and yourself.


More about me again i am a nurse,26 years old..I am the neat type,I like honest,responsible,trustworthy and hardworking people while I dislike lazy,messy,uncaring people and I love pets so much,am quiet and easy going person to live with. I'm 5"7' straight. i like tourising and,i don't keep late nights neither will i have overnight guest around, but i am okay if you do,I was born and bread in france as there was where i had my university education and stays with my uncle there!!I speaks French and English, so you have the chance to learn french

I lived almost all my life way in paris before coming down to SD,I am presently in south dakota now (really i know that most renter will love to meet the person renting to before move in)i cant judge myself but i am a Godfearing and straight forward person that respect you and your privacy, I was in my final year when my mum died,i lost my dad before i was born,I grew up with my uncle after my mum died...she was a nurse before she died,so i knew much about nursing before she died,I served in the Paris Red Cross for 8 months,we have involved in projects that includes orphans,orphanages,heart related diseases in children betweeen the ages of 4-10yrs,and we were also in alabama when they had the attack of hurricane katrina

Ambition and Work:

I was looking to move over to your state, because i understand that i'll be doing good overthere as i ve been told by my uncle's friend who ones live overthere..And i will be working with any hospital around as i am also making enquires on that now...


Am sure You 'll really like the person that i am ,because i will also do the dishing if you like,I work when i am to and relax when i am to,I also like sharing my thoughts also....paying rent on time will not be a problem as i will also be making the rent fee before the month ends....
Right now.I ve the support of my uncle about my well being,so you shouldn't be bothered about if i am competent of paying the rent


I must confess am comfortable with the price and I will want to secure the place down before my arrival so i will want you to tell me all about the place,as i can't see it before my arrival but the pictures...I also will want you to know that i have my car that i will be coming over with,and little of my furnitures,please let me know if there will be room for them..

With all that i ve said above,I have told you more about me and a picture of mine will be attach in the next email,Let me also know how i can go about securing the place down before my arrival as i will also be busy from next week preparing to come over and let me know if you can take off the ad off the site as i am going to secure the place with a deposit

Feel free to ask me any question and as i ve said,i am looking to move in asap,but want to secured it now

Thanks..

I knew something was up because the email just seemed off. BUt I reported to AOL and Craigslist as fraud. Hopefully they will do something and no one else gets caught in this sceme...

I am so glad I googled Sara Scoty! I was worried her response to my craigslist roommate wanted ad was a scam and I was right! Thanks for helping me from getting taken in by such a scam artist.

Thanks to you as well, as I just got this same email "scam" from a roomate wanted posting I put on Craiglists. It seemed a little fishy, and yes, I was was. Thanks again.

**PS- the name this creep used (he/she might be a guy) is Tracy Williams, must not be too brights, as he/she told me that "she" is from France. Somehow Tracy Williams doesn't seem quite "French" enough to be legit.....

Wow! I got one from Sara Scoty two days ago and then another almost identical one today from Angela Jones.

Both were in response to an ad for a roommate on Craig's List.

I responded to the first one and she wrote back more gibberish with the promise to send a photo.

I wonder what her scam is.

They will send you a check or money order to hold the room for rent, and it will be for too much. They will ask you to wait until the check clears and then wire the extra back to them (or on to the person who is taking care of transportation of all of their belongings)

The problem is that the check is counterfeit, but the bank will not know for over a week. Read this for more details on check clearning.

Also involved in romance scams as Rose Benisse: the request for money will come later but I googled "A great meaning for me is a human's soul." and this forumn/thread showed up. Tineye didn't get a hit on the photo but I'm sure it's stolen.
