I've posted before, this is the 3rd person who has attempted at scamming me. All three people have messaged me through a website called Roomster. I no longer use this site, better off risking with CL.

I just want this to pop up when/if this email address is googled.
I can just tell by the grammatical errors that this is a scam. Also because they mention an unnecessary sob story so that you feel bad.
I figured someone who was genuinely looking for a roommate would put more thought into their writing.


Email address- [email protected]

My name is Diane,I am a young 28yrs old female , The apartment belongs
to my late father who died years ago,And my mother have been managing
and maintaining the apartment since my father died.I work and study
here in New York.USA. I'm very busy lady due to my work and study and
you will be my flatmate while you will have your private bathroom and
toilet.

signed agreement form too.You are going to pay the money to our Family
Lawyer here in USA because he is the one that will receive the money
from you so that the apartment can 100% secure and reserve for you on

^^^Thank you. Yes, it is another scam.

Make sure you physically go inside any rental and meet the landlord face to face. Never send money to anyone you never met face to face.

Craigslist will also have a very high rate of scammers.

Please contacta moferatorstor if you have a question or information about this post.



Please do not tell the scammer he is posted here.

The writer is a West African. He probably doesn't know how to write any better, and we want to keep him that way.
