| Post subject: | Add Melissa Haven to the record.... |
I'm in the process of trying to rent my basement and had a series of emails back and forth with "Melissa". In a nutshell, she's from France living in Australia with her uncle b/c her parents are dead. Works as a nurse and is looking to secure a job once she moves in, but not to worry her uncle is going to pay the rent until she finds a job. This was my first exposure to this scam so the questions she asked seemed reasonable (describe the basement, house, pets, work, etc) so I didn't think anything of it. Looking back I feel like such a complete tool b/c I'm usually a lot better in catching these things early. I gave her my address so "she" could send the check, then I found this site (thank god). Emailed back letting them know not to send anything, that I'm contacting the authorities and filing a fraud attempt file, and will be monitoring my credit reports. |

Good for you! Could you also post the email address that "Melissa" was using on this site? Sometimes others will do a google search on that info and then they will find your post. |

Sure...it's melshaven@gmail.com Funny thing, they emailed me today to tell me the check is on the way. I'll turn it directly over to the appropriate authorities. |
