I have three that are similar to the ones you have posted. God, my roommate posted on Craigslist trying to get a replacement for herself because she is moving out, and 3 out of the first five replies we got were variants on this scam. Searching this was a lifesaver, so I am going to post these so that if other people search for variants with the wording in mine, they will be able to find them.
