Sam Warners known Rent Scammer, strikes again
This is the email exchange i had with this known scammer when searching for an aparment via Craigs List, Paris - obviously unknown to me at the time, but after he said he was in China and then looking at the time difference (time being 04.40 the time of our first emails, seemed a bit strange) + the fact that you cannot get a 60m2 apartment in this area for 650€ per month!
I then googled his name and came to this site.
I'd like to put this out there to underline that this person is still trying his luck!!
look out for this french guy - he signs off as Lecointre and / or email address is ben F.
I've tagged him along and have a copy of his passport - I would like to forward to the prefecture de police
Q > does anyone have any ideas on doing this please?

Hello,
I am very interested in the above Posting via Craigs list - studio for rent.
Please can you tell me if it's still available and if so, when's a good time to view?
if you have any other studios for up to 600/650 - I'd be very grateful if you'd provide details.
