Hi Nostromo

My daughter also nearly got caught in this scam by this person - she found the apartment at http://www.bcaoma.emg.ca/North-America/ ... da-151827/

BUT after she had half filled in the application form. As she didn't put her date of birth on the form hopefully her chances of identity theft are a bit lower - I can only hope.

I have sent an email to the website botifying them - did you also do that?
