This scammer claims to be a Humanitarian Officer from Toronto, Canada, <br /><br />Reading this blog allowed me to stop this early. <br />DOES ANYONE know what the endgame was suppose to be?Prestonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25531126.post-20752751571733779682011-09-03T09:34:05.788-07:002011-09-03T09:34:05.788-07:00I just emailed a Michelle Murray back saying my ro...I just emailed a Michelle Murray back saying my room was rented.

All the emails sounded very similar, which is what made me very weary of them. Also, the vocabulary is so bad, even though I had someone mention they were a Harvard graduate.

Esp if the seller (or advert poster) is in Europe where privacy laws are stricter!<br /><br />I responded to Frank after he responded to my post on Craigslist. And he is pretty insistent in getting the address and name during the few exchanges! What good will this do to him? I actually found your blog post after I first responded to him when I grew suspicious that it could be a spam but am going along just how far this gets.<br /><br />I sent him a response back saying "What part of cash don't you understand?" And later sent him another email containing the following:<br /><br /><i>" Alright, here's the deal, the Italiane Postal services agreed to help me verify the check you will be sending and eventually will deposit into the seller's account. So send it to: [Postal service address]<br /><br />And indicate on the check that it is for, as in his account name, Ubert Narciso Ivan Cesare Eugenio Fabrizzi<br /><br />Make sure that the post will receive this in the next two days. After I verify this, I will send you the address where you can have some staying nearby to pick it up. " </i><br /><br />Let's see what Frank has to say about this!Aureliananoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25531126.post-26195463763054605612009-08-07T15:08:01.030-07:002009-08-07T15:08:01.030-07:00I've received 2 almost identical ones.

Neither offered to supply requested information including Police Report so I could verify it here. I only accept U.S. Money Orders and they wanted to pay by a bank check! I guess they think we are stupid but they sure write a good line!

I figured I would want to see if "frank" or "helen" would also send me a copy of their work visa and ID card, somehow doubtful of that unless they would find a picture of those in the internet to start with.. :)annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03662447330197179213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25531126.post-33799167939847778352009-05-29T03:49:56.430-07:002009-05-29T03:49:56.430-07:00Also attaching one of the emails I received.
