Hi and thanks for posting nancyscamwarner.
I wouldn't worry about the details you have given this scammer.

He needs a paying victim and you are not one.
He will go away once he realises that.

Another Raphael Baldo SCAM:

http://london.craigslist.co.uk/apa/2531828986.html

London Apartment Advertisement -
20 Bow St Westminster, London WC2E 7AW, UK
£250 / 2br - 65ft² - Cozy 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom Apartment (Westminster, London WC2E 7AW)

Same thing as most of these other previous posts.

Responded too quickly, too good to be true (fully furnished & willing to accept 4 animals without extra questions/deposit), send (fake) picture of "family", not living at address but able to fly into London from France to hand over keys, supposed to be contacted by solicitor with rental contract, send money through Western Union wire transfer.

Luckily started to question myself before I got to the solicitor... Be wary of Raphael Baldo, hopefully Interpol watches these sites.

Thanks for the forum!

Welcome cxuereb! I'm glad you found out in time.

Please post the scammer's email so other potential victims will have a Google hit when they search for the text or his email address. - Be sure to delete your own name and address.

Thank you for your co-operation! :=)
