rental scam

I received this email today from "Tony Wayne" It is word for word the same as an email I found on this site by googling the telephone number,,, 447045764250

This is the email:

My name is Tony Wayne, I saw your advert on http://www.craigslist.org
concerning your room for rent. Please I would like to know if the room
is still available. I am a Construction Engineer and will be traveling
down to the States for my 6 months vacation and 6 months project
making a total of one year that's 12 months, all the way from England,
I am 29yrs of age.....also I want you to enlighten me more about your rent,
your mode of payment (how to pay), if there's any need of me signing a
lease then I will handle that aspect as soon as I make confirmation
payment for the room and finally arrive, I can then fill and be able
to sign as well... hope to hear back from you as soon as possible and
please be loyal and honest.

beware

Thanks for posting this scam! Can you post the email address the scammer used?

I'm fairly sure that when I was in Utrecht, Netherlands I came across this same scammer while looking for an apartment! Same fake name and number except he was offering a fake rental!

The Cheek!!

Good on you for finding out before you got ripped off.
