Room for Rent and other rental scams

Craigslist scammer contacted me when looking for apartment in Athens,Georgia USA.
Sent pictures of unrelated rental apartments and kept pushing me on deposit. Both had the exact same writing style, grammar all
I even pointed this out and they didn't seem to comprehend,that I cought them out and kept asking for the deposit saying the other one of the two can vouch for the other, but at some point Lanre/Ethel got confused about who he/she was and signed the email with the other ones name.

examples of the short messages of the two always using same punctuation, capitalization and signature

hello,am Ethel and have got an apartment for you,get back to me as soon as possible to know if you are interested.Ethel

hello,Ethel told me you wanna rent a room for one month,so tell me
when exactly you gonna be in town.Lanre]

"Ethel's" email was never reveled to me due to craigslist, however note her name was spelled "Wahsington" sloppy or supper rare surname...

Peace
