if anyone wants a little payback - lead them on and tell them you will pay 6 months rent in advance along with a huge deposit. Tell them you have sent the money and give them a fake 10 number receipt number and then ask for the keys. They will go to Western Union 30 times a day looking for their money before they click on after a few days........ paybacks a bitch :)

Thanks for your contribution mtm. I'm sorry to hear about your friend's situation. I'm glad she didn't send money though.

We do all realise the situation; that these Nigerians don't use their own names, instead they use the names and ID from people they have scammed in the past.

I was one of those people scammed and I'm expecting to see my name pop up any day now. I will be more than happy to add my name to the long list if it prevents someone from dealing with that scammer and losing money.

Isn't it better to warn people so that when there are enough warnings posted, people stop dealing with these scammers and hence they stop committing a crime under someone else's name?

I'm sorry that your friend feels exposed and upset about this but how else can we end this perpetual cycle?

plink  says:

mtm - I will take your friend's name off all my lists if you would like. Just send me her name to my email address - p_link@teachers.org

I got done a few months ago. Have a look at my other blog http://parishousingscamwatch.wordpress.com/shamele for details.

I haven't seen my name out there yet but I'm sure it's being used somewhere - just don't which Craigslist site!! I just hope that because a scammer has my passport scan that I don't encounter problems trying to get in and out of the country.

Best wishes to your friend.

Unfortunately, I wasn't aware of this type of scam on craigslist and sent him/her my contact information (no bank information or anything), but then researched the e-mail address based on a tip and found that in fact it is a scam. I'm glad I caught it before I tried to cash the check.

Marie Millecamps tried to scam me in June 2007.

I was looking for a property in London upon finishing university. I saw the ad on easyroommate.com, the flat was in a lovely apartment building near the tower bridge, and the interior was beautiful, like a 5 star hotel.

I was curious, so emailed the poster asking how much the rent was, expecting it to be extortionate. They replied saying it was £400 per month. If you have ever lived in london, you will know that for a beautiful, central apartment, that is peanuts!

'Marie Millecamps' asked me to give more information about myself to 'see if we would get along', I just supplied bare minimum, my age, that I was a student who would be graduating soon and was currently looking for a job. Nothing substantial, just boring small talk! I then asked her to provide me with some details about her - if I would be living with her, how many people would be living in the property, etc etc.

She replied to my email saying "thanks, I think we would get along great! I will send you a tenancy agreement and contract soon." She did not respond to my questions in any way. I replied saying "Thanks, but I cannot sign a contract until I have viewed the property and you have answered my questions. I will be in London on Saturday, can I please view the property then?"

I got no reply until about 2 days later, when she just sent me an email with a tenancy agreement attached, asked me to sign it and send it to her. Again, I responded firmly saying that I would not sign a tenancy agreement for a property I have not viewed. That was the last I heard of her!

Please, people....USE YOUR COMMON SENSE!!! Do NOT sign a tenancy agreement or hand over money for a property you HAVE NEVER SEEN! And remember...if something seems too good to be true, it probably is!!!!

I've been recently searching for an apartment in Stockholm and found Christina McQuillan who pressumably was a 25 years old wedding planner living alone, and offered me exactly the same Diana posted some months ago: a double-bed room in her father's flat with a payment of 4000 SEK and 6000 SEK for a security deposit (400 and 600 euros, respectively) via western union to her mother, who lived in London. This person is now using this e-mail address; tymaroom01@yahoo.com.

I was completely new in looking for accomodance abroad and knew nothing about scammers. Fortunately, I changed my mind just before making a terrible mistake (although he/she has now my full name and an e-mail address; hope nothing occurs because of that...). He/she sent me a scanned copy of "her" passport, probably belonging to a victim, probably belonging to nobody.

Watch out and be very very careful...!!

hi,

i have also been in touch with the person who pretends to be ellen swanson. i was wondering about the people who already fell into the trap..to whom did you send the money, then? because, when someone opens up a bank account, he has to verify that he is the person on the id... so with the name of the recipient, it should be possible to trace back to the scammer?

and still i don't understand: what was written in the contract? did it look authentic and did it have the address on it?

beware everyone, and thanks for this great page and the solidarity :)

I am totally shocked reading this all. I just found out yesterday that this is a fraud by contacting the law firm that "Molly Ellen Swanson" told us her lawyer worked for. This scam is crossing borders, she is now contacting exchange students from Germany looking on Gregs list for an apartment in NY. My daughters friend from Germany is looking for a place to live and I am so glad he asked us for assistance(mainly because he didn't understand everything she wrote) and I thought that we better check this all out. I feel so stupid now that it took two weeks for us to find out the truth. When she first contacted us I goggled just "her" name and absolutely nothing came up but a birth record and I thought she was okay. Today I put Swanson and gregs list fraud together in Google an all this came up. Her "lawyer" named Edgar L. Jones, in Dallas must be her partner in crime and I bet she lives in Dallas too. The only reason we didn't get scammed is that I couldn't find that lawyer listed anywhere and I got suspicious. "Her” passport makes you think this has to be real and I feel so bad for the real Molly having her info out there. I don't understand why this can't be stopped. Molly if you read this you need to go to the police and report it, your good name is being used and folks are scammed.

I have written about the property scammers over at my London Is Cool blog on numerous occasions trying to make people aware of the tricks that these scum scam artist get up too.

People need to start using their common sense, why would anybody part with money via Western Union or MoneyGram, for a property that they have never seen before. The bottom line is that a legitimate landlord would never take payment for their rent via money transfers, it just doesn’t happen.

People need to get real and use their common sense, the scammers are so obvious.

Yes! I've encountered a Amanda Michell Ferry and her email is amichellferry@yahoo.com.au. Her phone number is "009447031894453" as she claims she's overseas. Her English is quite horrible and she does keep asking for your personal information to create the lease. I haven't even seen her apartment and room in person! The rooms are fantastic in the pictures and the rates are amazingly good. I thought it was too good too be true and it certainly is!

After a few emails, she is very insistent on getting you to provide your personal details as well as make payment to get access to her apartment.

Hello Sharon,

Thanks for your mail. You can only view the building of my apartment because the building manager Mr Mark or Faruk won't allow you into my apartment without payment receipt confirmation from me upon signing the lease agreement.

I would like you to make reservation for the room, so that you can have a place to arrive at, the processes are not much, you only need to sign a document, then you need to have some documents to yourself as proof of assurance, then we proceed to the payment level. I would be willing to make available a scanned copy of my international passport, driver's license and my certificate of ownership for your own record too.

Get back to me with your details below so as to prepare the Lease Agreement.

Full name:

Present Contact address:

Your Phone number:

Date of birth:

Move in date:

Your intended duration of stay:

I would be expecting to read from you very soon.

Best Regard,

Lisa.
