I am glad I found this site. I hope I am NOT too late. I sent her an email today before I read this article. I live in Iowa. I gave her my work address. I then decided to look her up and saw this i DID NOT give her any of my bank info or anything BUT she does have my address, email address and work address and phone #.
What should I do? we agreed to things BUT i I DONT have any of her money and sounds like if i would have cashed it, it would have been returned/ would have been fake money order.

One of my best friends Rick Ross (works nights) just got divorced yesterday called me and said his wife got the house in the settlement. He currently does NOT have anywhere to live and doesnt have any reliatives in Iowa. His family is from California.
He asked if he could stay with me. I told him yes. I have known him for 20+ years. He will be staying with me until he gets back on his feet. I am VERY VERY sorry for this. PLEASE DO NOT send the money.

my friend moved in last night.
you should be able to contact the moving company and be able to retrieve it. If not, i will tell them to ship it back to you or will take it to the police station. I will send the payment to the same address that it came from to Jenifer Walcot since it will be a fake money order anyways.
I have contacted craigs list as well as my local police department. if the merchandise does come i will turn it over to the police. it looks like you have been scamming many people.

Hi ,
I am very happy for the concern,and i want to thank you for giving me the room,I really appreciate it. I want to let You know that i'll make it up to You and will be arriving by the Early November but will be mailing the payment to you as soon as i can as i have said,and it will get to you soon,Please let me know if this is okay by You
Yes i agree to this terms and conditions
i want you to know that my furniture and my car will be delivered before my arrival,please do let me know if you can be there to help me receive my furniture and my car ,I won't cause you any financial problem as i will be including the shipper's fee in the payment that I'll be sending ...So you will be getting the shipper's fee and the rent fee together ,You will just deduct your rent fee and keep the shipper's fee till he comes to deliver my things
Hope you can understand me?
I really appreciate you for you've been so nice from the
start.please send me your mailing address so that i can make the payment asap
Hi again ,
Thanks once again for the quick reply. where i am now,i can only communicate through email but I will whenever i get reception but before that i will want to secure the place,I am very happy meeting a person like you,It 's nice reading from you again and i will never ever want to loose the room even without seeing the place ,i smell the kind of person whom you are and i like you,I will want You to know that i am okay with the cost ,if none is included again.....There many people moving over so you will have choices but i want to plead with you to rent for me
I got to believe that the person that one wants to live with matters most,i believe that you'll be a nice person,I just have my dressers,computer table,kitchen utensils and a queen size bed,2 big luggages and my car to be shipped....
With the way we ve communicated,I am okay with you and i want you to know that i don't want to make any travel plans without securing a place down now,so i ve let my uncle understand more about you and the place,He is really comfortable and he told me that it is a nice area he had lived in the states before and he said that i should not afford to loose your place also he said that i should try and make sure that i hold down the place,so i thought of it and i will be making payment to hold down the place and the mode of payment will be the Most acceptable,easier,safer and reliable means of payment which is United State Certified money order so pls let me know if this mode of payment is ok by you.
And if YES pls provide me with the following information to get the payment to you.Your full name as it will appear on the payment,your work place address to ensure delivery in your hands through regular mails or a courier service,your phone number on the package to avoid package missing in transit.I will prefer to send to your work address because you will always be available at work from morning till evening but if home address it will be sitting in your mail and no one will be at home to receive the package.And if you don't receive package at your office address then I guess your home address will be good for the delivery right ? But to avoid any delay of you receiving at home then I guess work address will be fine what do you think ? Kindly get back to me with this requested address contact information so that we can proceed asap bye for now..
Feel free to ask me any question(s) you have okay, and i am moving in by the Early November
Hope to read from you soon
