I looked up "Jonesss Wilfredd" on Google after I got the response to an email request I sent for more information about the suite posted on CR below. The response had several contradictions in it and was way off base from the post I'd made to Craigslist.
I found a post from scamwarners.com for Jones Wilfred [email protected]
