Pretty Standand Scam. Looks like he's used the same template and name before.

I didn't reply to this last e-mail, but I'm pretty sure he'd send me a check from his "supervisor" for more than the rental amount and then ask me to wire money to the "Car Dealer".

Hi

Thank you for the photo, at least we know what we look like now. I googled on the area and its a very nice location. I love it and i cant wait to move in. You sound like a very good person and It would be a pleasure to meet you soon. from all what you have written about yourself, I believe we would get along just fine. I enjoy many things from cards, dominoes, board games, shooting pool, bowling, haunted houses to just hanging out. Although its been a long time since i've done some of those. Concerning the payment, my supervisor will be responsible for the payment. Let me know if you accept a US check, so that I can contact my supervisor that the room is ready. I am aware that the room will be ready on the 19th but i wont be arriving until the 1st of January

I will need the following information to facilitate out the rental payment to you so that my supervisor can process it and send it to you as soon as possible :


FULL NAME:
MAILING ADDRESS (no P.O.Box please):
CITY:
STATE:
ZIP CODE:
CELL PHONE:
HOME PHONE:


I would like to bring it to your notice that I am planning on having my car delivered to the house before I arrive. I am making arrangement with the car dealer to deliver the car before my arrival after the rent and security deposit has been paid. I will ask you for a favor here. Can I rely on you to take delivery of the car on my behalf? I will instruct the car dealer to contact you and schedule a delivery date and time that will be convenient for you.


I hope to read from you soon and thank you for your time.


Michael

Thank you for getting back to me. Could you tell me more about the area because I won't be able to check it out in person? How close is it to banks, grocery stores, shopping malls and the library? I have also attached my picture and I would love to see a picture of you too. This will give both of us an ideal picture of ourselves so we won't have any difficulty identifying ourselves when we finally meet. I am ok with the total move in costs and I am ready to pay and secure it right away prior to my arrival. I just want to have your word that the room will be secured for me once I have made payments.


About me : I am a Pathologist by profession and working for European Public Health Alliance. As a microbiologist/Researcher, I do more of humanitarian work which is out of my real profession. Moreover, I just finished a project in Netherlands about treatment of water and to educate communities on intensive health-care. The project was initiated by UNICEF in conjunction with EPHA; I led the troop to actualize the conclusion of the project. My next appointment is in the United States. This is a great opportunity for me to visit the US for the first time. The duration of my stay is for 12 months. I might be working in Schools, Laboratories and Hospitals.


I get lot of acknowledgment about me being friendly, I love kids, I'm laid back, I don't keep late night, I am not conservative politically, but I respect people's points of view. I am pretty quiet and neat, but not obsessively so. I'm responsible and will pull my weight around the apartment and pay bills on time. I like to cook, and it would be great to have people to cook with or eat with, but it's definitely not a requirement in a roommate. Most importantly I am respectful of others privacy, time, and personal items.


Kindly reply back to me so we can proceed and finalize arrangements and have it secured before I arrive. Let me know if I can give you any more info that would be helpful in making your decision. I would appreciate if you can tell me about yourself too.


Respectfully,
Michael
