Room for Rent and other rental scams

Notice how different email addresses are used but the reply back goes to a centralized email address. I guess that makes it easier for a scammer to scam rather than going into each different account and replying individually.

Here's the scammer's reply - wants to mail a check over. Never seen the place, never met in person, never spoke, never seen pictures of the place. I don't think so!
