Hi All,
I advertised a room in my house for rent through Gumtree and I had an instant reply from unknown number with a request to contact her on her email.
Her:
Note: I re-write her text exactly as it was.
I replied to her email saying that the room is still available and then 'she' sent me an instant reply.
Here is the messages:
I then emailed her the name of the nearest university from the house (Xxxxx University). And then she replied instantly.
After I answer some of her questions, 'she' then sent me an quick reply.
'She' then gave me another email:
And the 'daddy' also sent me an email:
I did not reply to his email but I am sure these scammers are the same persons that after your money.
I do not know that they can create such a cute family story like this.
I particularly like how they create the Susan Benson's character as : really a sincere and honest person, intelligent cool headed adaptive have a big heart and she does believe in the truth and honesty..Cause honesty is the only key to human success and with honest you can easily archive your aims.
Please stay safe, everyone!
