This looks to much like a scammer email. We replied to it - if we receive a response we'll update our post.

So here's the reply from "Karolyn Rodgers". Notice how the scammer says "moving to your state" does not indicate any specifics. We replied back asking the scammer for more details - will post if they respond.

How are you? My name is Karolyn Rodgers there. Am very happy for receiving your e-mail,i so much appreciate it..Now,am in vermont,this is my present address...85 Fairfield St, StAlbans, VT. my rent fee is about to due in 2 weeks time,so am relocating and I will like to move in by weeks in October. I would have suggest we should meet before making any plans,but am very busy right now,and i have alot of things to do. But i will like you to tell me more about the place and the area,i will like you to also tell me more about you,my uncle is sick presently,so i want to go to Finland (My home country) to take care of him very well,though i won't take long over there,but i really want to secure the place down before going,so do let me know amount of security deposit i have to send..

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 5.7 in height,i like tourising,and i don't keep late at nights,neither i will have overnight guest around,but am ok if you do.. I am 25 years old of age,i give people respect,both adult and young ones,am humble,am very easy to get along with... I don't have pet but am okay with pet,i don't drink and i don't smoke,i don't keep late at night,and am a straight female with no drama..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 vermont have been living with my uncle since have been 13 years old of age...Then i was member of the Red Cross Association,it really sounds interesting for me...

Why am moving and my work: Am moving over to your state because i understand that i'll be doing good over there,as have been told by my uncle's friend who have once live over there. And i will be working with any hospital around you as i am also making necessary enquiries on that now....

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....

Right now.I ve the support of my uncle about my well being,so you shouldn't be bothered about if i am competent of paying the rent ..
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,and little of my furnitures,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 preparing to come over 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..
