Room for Rent and other rental scams
by ruby627 Wed Nov 14, 2012 6:38 pm
I ran into this scammer ([email protected]) today. She sent me virtually the same message others have reported. I've included her email messages to me (I replied to her first email, not realizing it was a scam) plus the email address she used. I am not going to reply to her 2nd message, although my first inclination was to tell her I am on to her scam. I'll show restraint.

Hello
Thanks for your prompt response, Am so happy for your quick
response..I understand your explanation. A little about me....my name
is Carla Cunningham, I speaks English and Spanish fluently, I am 24yrs
old female,I am fun loving, personal, friendly,clean, caring,and
respectful of others.a non-smoker, don't do drugs, i drink
occasionally,and drama free,from Zurich, Switzerland...I presently
live and work in Geneva as Medical doctor with UNAIDS,(http://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. I will like to move in
DECEMBER 1st

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
