Hello
How are you today, i am happy to inform you that the payment has been sent to you and will deliver to you soon. But there was a mistake on the check issue out to you, the check have to be two, while one for the rent and the other for my traveling, which i was told that it is been issued out in one check sent to you. Please am very sorry for this, as soon as you got the check, i will like you to deduct your money for the rent and get the excess money to my travel agent and due to the short time of my arrival, i will like you to send the money to the agent through Western Union so that he can do all necessary things pending the time of my arrival. I will provide you the travel agent information as soon as you get the check. I hope you understand this and i can be able to depend on you

Hello roastbeefe ,

I have just got your message and this was a bad incident that
happened to me when i was first looking to rent a room online late
last year and that was during my last holiday . I was looking to rent
a room then for a short period of time and during the preparation and
arrangement then i noticed my Gmail account was changed by unknown
hacker , And i do not have access to the email and un know hacker was
operating to steal my personal informations and claim to be me.So i
reported the issue and later i resolved the everything and got my
email account back. That was how it happened and a long story but when
we see we can discuss better.I cannot wait to arrive and you seem like
a nice person and i'm glad to meet someone like you. thanks for the
care and concern . I have just contacted Jada and let them know by
4:30 the money gram will be done and everything will be sorted out so
she will be waiting . Also do you want me to send all details to your
email or have them fax to you after you have sent the money gram .
thanks

Mary,

Forgive me but I am quite skeptical of this deal. I need to know more information because I feel like I am loosing trust in you. Please explain the following:

1) Why the check you sent me was from Fun-Time International, Inc. 413N 4th St. Philadelphia, PA 19123 when you said that you're living in Spain.
2) Why does the first email format that you wrote to me look VERY similar to the one in the link I sent you.
3) Give me some Spanish history (since you're from Spain) specificially about the "Moros". Who are they. Respond ASAP and no googling!

Thanks,
roastbeefe

Hello roastbeefe

Thanks for your heads up and i'm really sorry for the mix up .Also
i can understand what you are trying to say and how you feel and
preventing yourself and that is good . This is little about me again
. I was Born and raise up in the US before i came back to spain and
furthere more with my education . I attended American Jesuit
University in Spain .My father lives and works in Philadelphia, PA
US . As i told you my first rent will be sponspored by my employer and
the check was coming fromt the state .

When i had issue with my account by the un known hackers as i have
explained to you in the email then my account was used by the unknown
hacker with virous activities before i got my account back since i
have been using it for 9 years now . I hope you can understand
everything and i will want you to act accordingly as agreed before and
to avoid the delay of my arrival kindly get everything taken care of.

About this Moros history that is a long story and i really don't all
about it but i can brief some for you and when we see there are alot
we can share together . Moros y Cristianos (Moors and Christians) is a
peculiar celebration which is held in different cities along the
Spanish coast. This battles between the Arabs and the Christians that
took place in the region centuries ago. And places for this places to
see this fiesta is Alcoy, in Alicante, where the celebrations take
place between the 22 and the 24 of April .Other remarkable Moors and
Christians festivals are celebrated in the towns of Bocairent Medieval
town 1–5 February . There are also very interesting Moors and
Christians performances in Andalusia, especially in regions that were
formerly part of the Moorish kingdom of Granada. Unlike the Moors and
Christians pageants from Levante, the focus is here on the versed
dialogues between the main contenders. Performances are mostly
organized in rural towns and villages, such as Válor, Granada, a small
pueblo in the Eastern Alpujarras. You have really got me to think and
crack my brain for this stories of a century and i hope you can tell
me more about some story of the histories of the US when we meet soon
. And if there is more things to know when i arrive we can meet and
discuss as i will be excited to meet you soon too .

Thanks

Mary

Hello roastbeefe

Now i understand more for your concerns and yes that is normal to
know and i understand your hard feeling and again i will thank you
much for your concern and honesty through this transaction . I want
you to understand all information given is correct and real . I also
want you to know more of the information i have given was to be given
in person and i am also willing to give you any more information
needed when i arrive and due to the past experience i have had i
cannot give out all my informations through emails any more and i am
sure you can understand what i am preventing.

And also the excess money was not suppose to come to you and as i
already told you in previous email that was a mistake and you also
understood the silly mistake that happend and promised me everything
will be taken care of and i believe in your word as you sound like a
nice person .

The reason why you are sending just $1800 is because that is the exact
amount i wanted to pay the Agent and nothing more than that and i did
already explained everything thing to you before and you undersood and
agreed. roastbeefe i want you to kindly understand this things clearly and
kindly act accordingly as agreed before and take care of the money
gram for my agent and all things can be completed to avoid the delay .

I want you to understand everything and kindly get things taken care
off and get back to me with the information for the money gram in the
next email and also please let me know if you already arranged for
someone to pick me up yet or not .

Thank you

Mary Cindy

Mary even sent a check to me! There is no way to detect if a check is fraud or not until the bank verifies it which in my case was 14 days but Mary wanted me to pay her tomorrow! So I called her bank and the told me to NOT do MoneyGram transfer after receiving a check from an unreliable source.
STAY SAFE
