Room for Rent and other rental scams
by Willow Fri Apr 26, 2013 12:06 am
This person goes by several different names and has tried to scam us by more than one already. The one name was Alexis Stevens. The newest name is Valerrie Duke. Below is a copy of the latest emails with Valerrie Duke. The email that they used this time is [email protected]. The only thing is this time they got smart and didn't send the email through Craigs List, so they got my real email address. Beware on the Scam Warner listing for Alexis Stevens that person got on and wrote that the person was real and that they actually rented a room to her, but it wasn't real because the person that listed on Scam Warners used the same broken English that both Alexis Stevens and Valerrie Duke used. Interesting, huh!

Below are the latest emails:

Whatever you do, be careful not to get caught up with these people. There are definite signs that give you warnings. They are in a hurry to secure a place. They are from out of state and want to rent, sight unseen. They use broken English. They send fake pictures.
