Room for Rent and other rental scams
by xeniadono Thu Sep 09, 2010 6:36 pm
Hi Again,

Thanks again for your interest in my flat, I would like to meet you but I'm a very busy person and not in town right now. I'm here in Atlanta
International Airport,as cabin crew.I could be back in two weeks time but my spare room could begone before my arrival because i have
a lot of offer and that would not stop your viewing and moving but all these will be after initial payment for the apartment as been made
to my Lawyer.

Since the credit crunch a lot of wannabee tenants end up not serious nor capable of the rent and with that i am convinced that you are
capable of meeting my demands.I will be able to send the key's to him via UPS same day delivery service so that you can view the
apartment together,your money is fully refundable back to you by my lawyer if you don't like my apartment but i can assure you,you will
surely like it.

I have attached my international passport photo page with this email because you will need to print it out and taken with the lease agreement
form to the apartment. I'll need your full name, Scanned copy of ID or Number, Current address and phone number,Move in date, sex and your
date of birth.I need this information's to prepare the tenancy contract so i can send to you.Should you need more clarification, please don’t
hesitate to get back to me as soon as possible,you can add me to your MSN messenger [email protected] for Talks.Await your urgent
response

Looking forward to welcoming you into my apartment.

Best Regards.
Carol

Hi guys, that so called "Carol Wallace" is a scammer writing somewhere from Nigeria, as I was able to find out. Unfortunately, I found it out too late. I was extremely careful, but despite I fell for this scam and lost my money.
You can find the entire communication on this blog: http://rentalscamdetails.blogspot.com/
Anybody having an idea how to track down that asshole and prosecute him/her?

Hi X,

Thanks for your response,I like to have you as my roomie and you're
doing the best thing looking for accommodation before Traveling to
Edinburgh because a lot of people comes down to Edinburgh daily
without looking for accommodation before their arrival and end up
Homeless.

Since i have a lot offer and i would advice you to secure my room
inform of reservation and you would only need to get back to with your
Name,Home address,scan copy of passport or passport number,Telephone
number,Sex and Arrival date.My Lawyer will need the Information to
prepare the lease agreement contract
. As soon as the Lease agreement
contract is ready i would it send to you to study carefully the terms
and conditions before signing it and make initial payment to my lawyer
to confirm the reservation.


Immediately he will issued receipt and the room will be reserved to
move in on your arrival date.you can add me to your MSN messenger
[email protected] for Talks.Looking forward to welcoming you

Solo en caso de que haya lectores españoles, NUNCA faciliteis datos por internet y mucho menos hagais transferencias de dinero sin ver y tocar lo que se ofrece.

Dear friends,

I just want to add extra-information about this fake rental add you're posting here. I'm a Spanish inmigrant moving to Liverpool next February, and I've recibed exactly the same mails as posted here from a supposed "Carol Wallace".

"Her" msn address contact now is [email protected]. Do not make any arragment with her!!!! Fortunately I found this site -to which I'm very grateful- and I didn't lost my money. "She" was supposed to send me the Lease agreement contract this week and then I'd have to make a 650 pounds payment (350 deposit plus 300 for first month rental in advance) in a few time. Again, thanks to all of you.

Kind regards from Spain,
Moketeman

Welcome to ScamWarners moketeman and congratulations for seeing the scam. I love to hear that a scammer doesn't get money from a victim.

Best wishes to you and your move to the UK. If you have concerns please present them here.

Bubbles, former Scamwarners moderator.

Rest in Peace 24 June 2015.

Gone, but never forgotten.

Thank you very much, Bubbles. Really I cannot express the inmense gratitude to this site, and I'm in debt with all people like you who make this possible. Thanks to that I still have my savings to try to get a new life abroad. The worst thing is that I believed everything they told me... I feel kinda stupid right now. Hadn't been for a friend of mine who lives in London and was very struck because the pictures were of a high quality house and very low price, I'd had found myself without money and job.

But I've learned from this, and in the future I'll never consider making any payment until I see the flat and the landlord.

Just a little offtopic... how can people do things like that? I mean, if you wanna steal money just go to a bank or company which have billion dollars! But trying to steal people who are devoting their scarse saving to get a decent salary and making an living out of it... it's so sad. These people even don't deserve to the labelled as human beings.

Well, thank you so much again. Everytime I face something like this in the future I'll make myself sure of posting here to give back the help I myself received now.

Best wishes,
Moketeman.
