Room for Rent and other rental scams

Hi Guys,

I found this, too good to be true rental offer on http://www.privateproperty.co.za, I have posted a fraud warning to the admins but have yet to take it down (although that was only 10 min ago). Here is the listing, but it will hopefully be gone soon:

http://www.privateproperty.co.za/morningside-rr561328.htm

So at first glance I thought this deal was too good to be true so went it to correspondence with the owner very tentativly. Since then, earlier today, I discovered it was a scam, which has been reported on this website in more than one instance.

I havent payed any money nor given the fraudster any prevalent information, excepting my name. The fraudster still believes our correspondence to be truthful and has now asked me for my personal details. The case is identical to that mentioned in the second post.

Now, I wonder, with the assistance of this community, if there is anything we can do to stop this guy. I am willing to assist in the process of stringing him along as much as necessary. I would like very much to stop this guy as he has obviously caused some harm to innocent people.

Thanks for the help. This website is awesome!!

Hi eeyore
Please drop this scammer. You are baiting him using your real name!

As vonpaso xlura mentioned , you can post all the information you have about him at www.419eater.com and many baiters will teach him a lesson!

Welcome to Scamwarners.

DON'T tell the scammer that you found him in this site. Just cease all communications with him and move on.
