On Craigslist New York : $800 / 2br - 950ft² - Unfurnished,2 Bedroom apt (Williamsburg)

He will go as far as to call you to reassure you he is Legit!

He almost got me due to his phone call... I would have never thought scammers would go that far. He even offered to have me pay only the $550 deposit fee instead of the deposit and the first months rent. I was thinking... "oh, they would just move on to the next person who would pay the whole amount".. I was wrong. But I knew I had to be wrong. So I researched him from every angle and came across this website where I saw his exact words... The only thing he changed was his name.

SCAMMERS suck and ARE LAZY!

Thanks for posting! The paragraph where he states he relocated to West Africa clearly shows that he learned his English there.
