WOW............this JOKER MUST THINK WE WERE ALL 'BORN' AT NIGHT! Looks like he's been doing this for a LONG TIME.. I hope to God NO ONE FELL for it! I knew right away after reading how distorted his wording was. So, I did a Kathy Johnson Scammer Search and of course, I found all the information needed on this Site! Below is the email that we got from this SCAM ARTIST - MR. Kathy Johnson....... :

He must DO A LOT OF COPYING and PASTING for this LONG EMAIL response........ How stupid can he be.....

They're still at it. I got two responses to a rental ad on Craig's lists and nearly fell for them both, except they had an almost identical phrase:
• I like honest,responsible,and hardworking people while i hate the lazy,messy and uncaring people.
• I'm honest,neat,responsible,and hardworking while I dislike lazy,messy and uncaring people

"Sarah Williams" says she lives in Seattle and has to rush to Finland to be with her ailing uncle. (See [email protected])

"Christiane" said she was from South Africa. Her last email:
Hi,
I appreciate the candor.I have to take my chances because not risking at all is the worst mistake,I'm quite comfortable with the available room and it's living environment,I have four yrs US working visa and i am self-employed.
Hope we can get along together though I know it kinda hard expressing oneself via email,but I'll put my pride in the gutters and try to be as explicit as possible.

About me ....I'm a single 28 yo professional lab technician.I'm 5'10 long hair, hazel eyes with a athletic build.I prefer cleanliness than any other traits,I'm honest,neat,responsible,and hardworking while I dislike lazy,messy and uncaring people.I love pets so much,am quiet and easy going. I am a good christian. I'm straight and also gay friendly. I always love to go on a date but seldom party. I neither smoke nor drink,I swim for fun and sometimes play tennis also i enjoy snowboarding. I must confess that i am comfortable with the price,I will like to secure the place down pending my arrival.. I'll also be shipping my things down to the States such as my car AUDI A4 Model 2010 which I've been using for over 6 months now,and some personal effects. don't worry am not bringing in Furniture.I will easily purchase the one's I need when i arrive. Moreover,Let me know how I can go about securing the place down and filling any necessary paperwork before my arrival as i'll be busy preparing to come over as i plan to arrive on September 1st 2011.

Right now I have thought of it and understood that moving to the US will not only help boost my career but also improve my personal life.I hope you'll finally consider renting to me ,I assure you that the rules and terms would be strictly adhered to .I hope we can get along well as I wait to read from you soon via email.

Sorry for the email novel .I know its a lot to read and i apologize for coming on strong I'm just looking for a reliable place when I move down.I look forward to hearing positive from you again.Have a successful week ahead .

Thanks and take care,
Christiane.
