This douche bag tried a rental scam using a familiar template but I was unable to locate his name, the skype name however was used before under various names.....

Hello,

I am very interested in renting your place. I was born in and raised in the Spain 26 yrs ago. I'm a matured,Vivacious, career driven individual, I don't smoke and drink on very sparse occasions (probably won't even consume up to 5 liters in year)
which might be buoyed something very special like a job promotion or maybe a best friend’s wedding (lol).

I am also not opinionated and will never condemn anyone for their sexual, religious inclinations or what so ever primordial variables. I think the day we perceive ourselves beyond such clouts, there would be
world peace and visceral love.

I plan on staying for at least 3 years minimum because my work contract is for two years and I will be working for Ad store consumer electronics as a Data Base Administrator.

Kindly respond as soon as possible

Have a spectacular day!
Atilio.


After I replied:

Thanks for your kind reply

I am very happy you responded to my email and I look forward to coming over to Canada alone from Madrid by Nov. 28th but I'll be resuming work officially on the 21st of Nov. 2011.

My employer will be sending you payment for the first month and/or deposit. Also my shipper will be shipping my Honda 2010 model and other Personal effects before I move into your place. I won’t be bringing much over as I intend to buy most afresh there. But my PC
will be coming with me surely & other personal belongings.

If this is ok with you,

kindly mail me back your name to make out the payment in and your address to have it sent to.

I will be off to see my sick mum in the hospital who is due for surgery soon.

You can call me anytime on +447031862922 or 009447031862922 and skype

I look forward to your response.

Yours Sincerely,
Atilio.

^^^ This is a cheque scam.
The scammer will send a fraudulent cheque for more than it's face value and ask you to forward the difference to his shipper. This is usually through Western Union or Moneygram.

The cheque is a fake and so is the shipper.
If you make the payment as requested, the scammer will collect your money.
You'll also have a problem with the bank when they discover the cheque is a fraud.

At the least, your account will be closed and the bank will charge admin fees.
At the worst, you could face charges of fraud and go to prison. :?

Hello,
My employer has sent payment to your location and I'll be sending
you the details later. This will enable you know when it will arrive.
I will appreciate if you notify me as soon as it does.
This is the first time I will be traveling to North America and I
believe articulating myself with the cultural change will not be
difficult as people like you will make me settle in easily. In Spain
majority of us are conservatives and I believe Canada is an
environment with more liberal and free thinking individuals.
Facing new challenges and enhancing my skills will be first priority
and I promise you that you will not regret ever renting the place out
to me as I am a very matured and understanding person.
Most importantly my shipper will be getting in touch with you
regarding shipping of my Honda Accord to your place and I have
given him your contact.His name is Iglesia Bautista and he'll contact you
by email.
