If you are reading this because of an internet search on this persons details: He wanted to send you a (counterfeit) cheque or money order for far more than you were expecting and hoped that you would cash it, and send his non-existent shipping company a large portion of the money before your own bank or cashing agent realised that the cheque or money order was bad and pursued YOU for the return of the FULL AMOUNT, possibly pressing charges against YOU for attempted fraud and money laundering.

I got an email from Miss Janet Paul with exactly the same message. I will not hold my breath for the check. Thanks for the heads up.

My name is Harrys Paul, I saw your advert and i am sincerely
interested in the room advertised as i will be moving to the states as
soon as i leave here (Australia). Please mail me if you are still
looking for a mate, since my membership with roommate is not upgraded.
However, please I'll like to know the total move in cost of the room
as well as the picture of the house as I'll not be able to check out
the place until my arrival, so that i can make arrangement for payment
prior to my arrival since i'll be coming down from Australia as soon
as I'm able to secure a comfortable room. I'll also like to know a bit
about yourself.
Thanks as i anxiously await your mail. I am looking forward to hearing
from you soon.

Regards

Hello,

Good to read back from you. Am very happy to hear that the Apartment is available, I will be coming there from Ireland for a research work on my own to improve my educational status so, I will be coming there for my move in as soon as the space is ready for move in. Due to distance, I wont be able to come and see the place but in case you have more pics, I wouldn't mind if you can send me some so that i can see the place and also send it to my step Dad so that he can see the place also.

However, Am 23years old i lost my dad some years back when I was young so my mom had to remarry. She's married to Mr Jonah who is my step Dad now. He has been the one who has been taking care of me all this while, I believe he is a God sent to me because I have never regretted a moment with him. Things I like are as follows reading, swimming and chatting with people around me and also make them happy.

I have always been thinking of how I will affect people's life positively by making donations to the less privileges because when I looked at my past when I lost my dad from the story my mom told me, I noticed it is not easy for people that has no parent. Presently, I am among the people that donate to (W.H.O) for the support of the motherless home. Although, donate little amount, but no amount is too small to help. Well, I hope when we meet in person you will know more about me.

Meanwhile my step dad will need the followings to make payment to you ASAP
1....Your names in full
2...your Address in full with the zip code
3.....Your phone number.

I wait to have this information from you so that my step dad can make payment for the rental fee and security deposit in advance.

Thanks

I received this message as a reply to an ad I posted on craigslist. I googled the address and it led me here, thankfully.
