Please be aware that a person is using multiple rental sites (including Craigslist and EasyRoommate) to scam people. The person is going under the name of Joya Claire Sonnenfeldt and sends a copy of the passport and a fake lease from the William Coon Properties Agency. The person is using the email [email protected]. In another rental site the person is renting under the name Amanda using the same address and pictures.
The person is also posting in multiple cities an is using identities of victims. The person asks for a copy of ID before beginning any transaction because if you back out the person still has a copy of your identification to scam someone else. I was unlucky enough to fall for both the ID and wiring the money. Also, the person doesn't ask for a Western Union transfer, they ask for a transfer to a U.S. bank account.
Please be aware and think three times before you do something. If you are doing something out of desperation please don't. I knew since the beginning this was a scam, but decided to ignore all the signs because I needed a place to live and this person was the only one that responded to my plea. They don't care to leave someone homeless... they only care about taking advantage of people, their money and their identity.
