Room for Rent and other rental scams
by Grandmommyandme Sun Sep 25, 2011 5:33 pm
Thanks so much for reporting this scam.....I just recently had entered an ad
for Room Rental on CraigsList...and Geina responded. Different last name but
the letter is exactly the same as others have received.....darn it, I thought I had
a renter!!! We've emailed several times and it just sounded "too good to be true".....

Before I googled the name of the hospital, I emailed her requesting her social
security number....doubt I get an answer on that one!!!
Glad I didn't spend money on a background check yet!!!!

Thanks for this website, as well.....I've never heard of this scam before, but
obviously it's not a new one!!!!

Hello,
Thanks very much for e-mailing me back ,i really appreciate it, am also
sorry for getting back to you late.. I am Geina Sidwell by name and live
in Seattle, WA. I would have been kind of happy if we can meet before
making any plans, but am very busy and i have a lot of things to do right
now.. I will really appreciate it if you can tell me more about the place
and tell me little about you because my uncle is presently very sick, and
i have to travel to Finland to see him but i want to secure the place down
before going. He was involved in a car crash with his new car some weeks
back and now ill seriously, I need to check on him and take good care of
him.
I am staying in CHRMC Children's Hospital Seattle staff Quarters now The
address is below:
4800 Sandpoint Way NE Seattle, WA 98105
I am moving cause of my job, am a medical Humanitarian nurse for united
Nations. I work for CHRMC Children's Hospital in Seattle but will be
working in a local clinic over there, More about me, am a neat type of
person, honest, humble and responsible. I like honest, responsible and
hardworking people while i hate the lazy, messy and uncaring
people....well am a quiet and gentle going person to live with....I am 27
yrs old female, 5.4 in height ,i like tourism and i don't keep late at
nights neither i will have overnight guest around but am ok if you do..
I was born and brought up in Finland, i studied there i had my university
education right there while staying with my uncle.. I lived all my life in
Finland before coming down to Seattle, WA have been living with my uncle
from age 13 ...Then i was member of the Red Cross Association it really
sounds interesting for me...
Am sure You 'll really like the person that i am ,because i will also do
the dishing if you like I work when i am to and relax when i am to, I also
like sharing my thoughts also....paying rent on time will not be a problem
as i will also be making the rent fee before the month ends....
I do not have any pet, i really like dog and cat but have none of it now,
so there is no problem about that.
I must confess am comfortable with the price and I will want to secure the
place down before my arrival so i will want you to tell me all about the
place as i can't see it before my arrival but the pictures...I also will
want you to know that i have my car that i will be coming over with little
of my furniture.
please let me know if there will be room for them. With all that I've
said above I have told you more about me and more picture of mine will be
attach in the next email Let me also know how i can go about securing the
place down before my arrival as i will also be busy from next week and
let me know if you can take off the ad off the site as i am going to
secure the place with a deposit
Feel free to ask me any question and as I've said i am looking to move in
by the availability of the place but want to secured it now
Thanks..

Just walk away from them with the knowledge that you have made it harder for them to operate by sharing the information. :)
