I am looking for a responsible tenant that is going to be taking good care of my apartment and trusting you that you are going to be taking good care of of my apartment. Here is the address of the apartment 46 Rue Saint-Louis en l'Ile 75004 Paris. The rent is €700 per month,Damage Deposit €200 which include the utilities such as Water/Sewer, heat, hydro, gas,internet access e.t.c

This same person (with a slightly altered email address), is running the same scam right now on Toronto Craigslist. CAREFUL!

Thank you for the additional information doamna and Anonymous2011 and welcome to ScamWarners. Hopefully this updated information will be helpful to others. This shows how these scammers keep moving and adding email addresses to keep their scam going.

I am very embarrassed to share this, but he did it again. All necessary details below :

Matt Aaron is his new Alias, operating out of Philadelphia, PA. He just posted an AD on Craigslist yesterday 3/18/11 in Hawaii. He used M Ron <[email protected]>.

Receiver's Name: Matt Aaron
City: Philadelphia
State: Pennsylvania
Postal code: 19131
Amount: $850
Text Question: to who
Answer: aaron

He listed the Apartment rental as pet friendly (it is very difficult to find one here in honolulu). Our situation was desperate. First time using Craiglist too. In hindsight, I can not believe how naive & stupid we were to wire the money Western Union $850 (without speaking to him first).

The latest:

"We want you to know we're Christian couple and we can't rip off cos it's against our doctrine if that's what you're thinking, this is a private rent and there's nobody that have the keys to the apt that's why the apt is more secured, we're sending our picture to you for you to be rest assured and confident that you're dealing with humble fellows and don't even think about scamming because we never know it will went like this, we appreciate your faith in sending the initial payment but we'll want you to be rest assured about this"

Sorry for the inconveniences,

Matt and Renicha

I know that there is nothing that can be done to track someone down, but I can warn other's for making the same mistake as ours.
