Rental scam - [email protected]

Looks like a scam to me! This is what I got:

Thanks for your prompt response,Am so sorry for my late response..I
understand your explanation. A little about me....I am M.s Jennifer
Inderpreet 27years, female, from Zurich,Switzerland...I presently live
and work in Geneva as Medical doctor with UNAIDS,(www.unaids.org) I
will be coming to State for medical research due to nature of our
work. This was why i made inquiry as per the availability of your
space.Please let me know the Utilities that are available in the
rent.(ALL application will be signed when am back in state.)
For the payment that is not a problem at all...Because my boss will
be highly responsible for all my expenses, all i have to do is to
confirm the amount of the room which i have done including the
utilities(if there is any) and then get it sent to him.

However i will be in need of the information in which the payment
will be issued to..,So all i require of you is for you to send me
your..

FULL NAME
FULL ADDRESS(Apt#,City,State and Zip code)
PHONE NUMBER
EMAIL ADDRESS

So that I can forward it to my boss because my boss will be paying for
the rent, my flight and some other things so all you have to do is
that as soon as you receive the check he will send. You will deduct
your rent fee and the utilities from it and then get the rest back to
my flight manager so that my ticket can be booked. Waiting to hearing
from you. I will want all this information for quick payment asap pls.

Stay Blessed.

Hi Katiexxx and welcome to ScamWarners.

It's a classic overpayment scam. The cheque that you are sent will be fake and will eventually be discovered to be so by the banking system, but this could take weeks or months. In the meantime you will have transfered the extra money to the person you are asked to (probably by Western Union).

Once the cheque is discovered to be fake, your bank will deduct the money from your account (and probably hit you with charges) and you will be left down the money that you sent on.
