The above listed "person" (Morgan Philip Anderson, [email protected]) posted an apartment for rent on craigslist. After several emails sent back and forth, and an alleged contract signed via email, I was told the following information:
That Morgan was in the UK because he was recently transferred there by his job.
His apartment in Lyon, France was therefore available for 450 euro.
He used a shady +4470 rerouting number
He used the address: 3 Victoria road, Brighton, UK.
Our contract was revised by the lawyer "Louise Peters"
What led me to suspect something was afoot (the day before sending payment for first month's rent + a security deposit), was that the lawyer provided absolutely no information about himself. Not a phone number, a firm name, an address-- nothing. Luckily, I googled the lawyers name and found this website. Apparently the scammer has been recycling the same contract and using the same details (e.g. of his lawyer's name).
I hope this helps someone in the same manner this website helped me.
Best,
G
