<AND>
Hello.
Thanks for the information. I got it and immediately forward it to
my dad to issue out the check payment to you asap. I will let you know
when i get the tracking # from him so that you can monitor the
delivery status. I will be moving in January 10th so i will want you
to please have the room cleaned ahead of time and by engaging the
service of a local cleaner around you. I will pay for the service
alright, and i will want you to remove the add from Craigslist and
have it rented to me to avoid dis-top. I will want you to scan me the
rental application form so i can fill it and return it to you or wait
until i come and sign all necessary document for the lease...
Thanks so much,can't wait to meet you.

Diana.

Welcome to ScamWarners unlending. Yes, this is a scam. Any form of payment you would receive will be a forgery and you would have problems with your bank and possibly with the police.

Thank you for posting this to help others not get trapped. If you receive anything in the mail or from a delivery service, either destroy it or take it to the police because forgery is a criminal activity.
