Hi there,
I was looking for a room mate because I will travel abroad soon and I was not aware of the word "SCAM" because in my country we don`t know anything about that. I asked everybody and they told me to write back to that guy because it sounds good. I am a very critical person though. It took 5-6 weeks to recognize that there was something smelly going on.
We wrote back and forward till I realized he`s asking me the same questions over and over again, even though we agreed at a point to meet and discuss the payment as soon as I arrive in Canada. I always stop conversations when it comes to stupid people and run far away. Here at this point I was about to do that. But a friend told me to keep that offer.
More than that he was asking me to forward his business with the payments to some friends in Canada. I am so lucky that I don`t know anybody there and I told them I can`t help him with this.
I woke up when I asked him to send me some pics and he sent me some pictures showing a really nasty ugly unfurnished house, did not fit to his description with the fully furnished house with electronics at all. How stupid!
2nd he wrote me weeks later another email with an identical content like the very first email he sent to me. WHAT A BIG MISTAKE!
3rd his language was awful sometimes, aggressive and his English grammar was very bad.
4th I received a second Email with a similar story like this one, but with a different name called Johnson.
5t they ignored my questions all the time (that drives me crazy-ignorant people), I asked for telephone numbers and their addresses
I recognized lots of similarities between those two persons, but Johnson asked me to sent money. I don`t send money to persons I don`t know!
Both Johnson and Moore already decided to have me as a roomie and I was amazed of their good heart to pick me. All the other persons there on that room mate web page never answered to my emails, for me it was strange to suddenly get such a great offer compared to others who do not even write back to me, seeing probably an international number and an international email.
JUST READ THE SCAMS I RECEIVED AND KEEP YOUR EYES AND EARS OPEN

> >> > > > > It is peaceful and with a loving neighbourhood.Unfortunately my father passed away on the 10th of MARCH 2009 and as the only son in my family i have to go and take care of the family business back in the UK and i realised that it will be very difficult to supply goods to my clients again in the United states while am away and it will definitely cost me a lot to come over to receive payments cos they pay mostly in checks and money orders .So to run the business from there it will be difficult and will be impossible especially the aspect of payment and i dont also want to lose my clients or customers there . So what i intend doing is that i am looking for some one to stay at my house free of charge.......
> >> > > > >
> >> > > > > I dont want to sell the house cos i just bought it.I am simply looking for someone that is honest and trustworthy and clean for two reasons 1. to maintain the house when i am away and 2..To help me receive payments from my clients within the USA on my behalf in his/her name and have it cashed cos they pay mostly checks and money orders and have the funds wired to me here in the UK thru money gram transfer/western union transfer . you dont have to pay me a dimme for the accommodation. its just for the purpose of keeping my business going on in the United state.and if you wanna keep this assignment as a job let me know so i can allocate 10% on each payment that you receive that is if at all, you dont wanna live in the house or if you are far from the house...........
