Hello, I have an ad on roommates.com. A person contacted me almost immediately after the ad was posted. She is French, living in France and wants to move for work to LA. She wants a friend to physically check out the apartment, so she asked for my phone# after corresponding for awhile. She gave me her name and the people she works for. I searched for it and it checks out. She also told me that she is interested in photography, and she sent me a link to her photo website- it has her name and a photo of her that looks like her roommates.com photo. Also, she has asked specifically about the living situation, i.e. utilities, my personality etc. It seems legit, but the fact that she is from another country and I won't be able to meet her right away are raising "red flags" for me. Is any of this consistent with other scams? Is there anything I can ask this person to be sure? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
