is this a rental scam?

I am sorry you were taken in by a scammer fackspammers. Sadly, you are not alone in being trickes and haven money taken from you by a scammer.

Sadly, rental sites are filled with scammers. Thank you for exposing the scams you have received. This will help others who are searching to see if they are dealing with a scammer.

Your warning at the bottom of your message is good. Sadly, going to the police will do little to nothing because you do not have the name of the actual person who scammed you. You have the name of the character the scammer created.

If you don't mind, I would like to split your post into separate posts for each of the scammers you present so they are easier for others to find. Just let me know.

which police can you denunce this scamms? are there any place who treats this kind of scamms?
I have 3 mails addresa to denunce and don´t know where denunce them

Other new scamm from shared-accomodation website... WINK NANCY is other name that use to send scamms mails for rental apartments in Sydney.... BASTARDS!.. I would like to denunce in somewhere....

Welcome Gatita Norte!
It's good to know that you can't be scammed!

The phone number says it all:

+447011151047

It seems to be British, but like all numbers beginning with "+44 70 ....." it is a re-direct number. When you dial it, your call is forwarded to another number which might be anywhere in the world.
Sadly, "anywhere in the world" means that the scammer is likely somewhere in West Africa or Malaysia, operating anonymously from an internet café. There is no way the police can find him. Our only protection is public awareness.

If you want to help other victims, please post the email address the scammer has used.

Thanks for helping!
