Hi! Thank you for this page. I am in contact with Yeo Yet-hai to rent her a room in a Flat in Sydney.
We are change a lot of mails with the contract and I was going to pay her the amount of 1500$ through Wester Union. Just in case I have found this page writting her name in google and I have discover that she is a scammer!!

I copy the mails that we are changed

First Mail after I put an announce in share-accomodation page

"Hi Flatmate,

The rooms are available for immediate move in either for short or long term depending on how long you plan to stay

In fact, I have being to Germany,Wales,also recently Scotland,I also like hanging out with friends and associating with people. I used to live here in this apartment with my Family but since my husband passed away,i had to relocate to UK and i am the only one in charge of this apartment so i am presently in Malaysia overseeing my late husband's firm as i am not around for now and would not be back for sometime and would be back by the end of july.

You will have free and unlimited access to all part of the apartment, the Kitchen, the living room and of course except my room and you can also have your own visitors.The rent for the room is 700AUD Per Month and this includes the utility bills(all included) and you will be required to pay a security deposit of 800AUD. This security deposit will be refunded to you at the end of your stay in my apartment. I hope it suits you well and if you have any more questions you can surely ask me, I also attached the pictures of my flat and also the tenancy contract agreement so that we can conclude and you can eventually move in."



Then we have changed several mails (7/8 total) in whose she send me a contract agreement to sign and her ID passport. She asked me to pay 1500$ through Western Union to send me the keys by DHL. In one mail I asked her about why her address was the same to some apartments for rent calles meriton. She answered me that her falt was after them and for that they have the same address???. Finally I told her that I didn´t like to pay her by Western Union because they don´t offer me any guarantee and she told me that we are friends and don´t worry...

I am glad to notice this scam at time. Thanks!!
