		<description>On craigslist, for apartment in Clarendon, thanks so much I almost fell for it!

Hello,

Thanks for taking the time to look at my property. My name is Vanessa Evans, I&#039;m 43 years old,I&#039;m a construction engineer and I&#039;m the owner of this condo(2 bedrooms,2 bathrooms,1100 square footage) .This beautiful condo is located in the vibrant commercial neighborhood of Arlington : 1020 N Highland St at Washington Blvd,1 block from 10th St,1 block from N Hudson St,2 blocks from Clarendon Blvd,only 2 min from Clarendon M station.. The condo is fully furnished with all necessary amenities(exactly like in the pics),Brazilian cherry floors; Luxurious kitchen with Viking appliances, large kitchen island and Poggen Pohl cabinets; master bedroom/master bath includes an oversized marble soaking tub and separate shower; California Closets walk-in closet in master bedroom; Second bedroom/den with second full bath.The unit is equipped with recessed lighting, central air and heat, the condo come with two parking spots,a storage unit where you can deposit my furniture (if you don&#039;t like it and you want use your furniture),there is also a linen closet, and most importantly, a new front loading stacked washer and drier.Pets allowed.I&#039;ve moved to United Kingdom with my job (i am a construction engineer) and decided to rent it because the rent is very expensive here.The price is so low because I&#039;m here and is very hard to find a tenant.I can rent you the condo for min. 1 month and max. 6 years(or more).I really want to find a good and responsible tenant for it, and I hope that you can send me some personal information about yourself.The rent for the whole condo for 1 month is $1200 including all utilities(water,electricity, internet, cable, parking , airconditioning, fireplace, dishwasher, garbage) and the security deposit is 1200$(you&#039;ll get the deposit back at your departure-or you can use it to pay your last month of rent) and I want to receive the money monthly in my bank account. You can move in the condo in the same day when you receive the keys. The only problem is that I`m the only person who has the keys and I have nobody in United States that could show you the condo. In order to check it, see if you like it(I&#039;m sure that you&#039;ll love it), you need to receive the keys and the contract.
If you want to rent the condo, please e-mail me back and I will explain you how the payment and shipping will take place!

The kitchen eating area is a large piece of granite that serves as counter space in the kitchen, and as the table in the Living Room side. The counter seats 4 comfortably. The entertainment center is a beautiful credenza that is topped with a brand new   55&#039; High-Definition lcd  tv. The stereo acts as the 5 speaker surround sound for the tv, the radio and cd player. The stereo also is a dvd player and is capable of having an i pod plugged right into a usb port.The Master Bedroom is large with high ceilings, has two windows, a walk-in closet and it has it&#039;s own bathroom. The room has a large, very comfortable Cali-King bed. There are several dressers with an ample amount of drawers. The room also has a desk with several drawers and a file cabinet.

Thanks for taking the time to look at my property.My name is Vanessa Evans,I&#039;m 43 years old,I&#039;m a construction engineer and I&#039;m the owner of this condo(2 bedrooms,2 bathrooms,1100 square footage).I lived in this beautiful condo for over 5 years,loved every day of it.The prime location can&#039;t be beat, and the garaged parking is an amenity sure to be appreciated by anyone who has lived in a big city.  The condo is located in the legendary Parc Somerset at 5630 Wisconsin Ave,Chevy Chase, MD.1 street from Friendship Blvd and N Park Avenue,5 min to Friendship Heights Metro.The condo is fully furnished with all necessary amenities(exactly like in the pics),the unit is equipped with recessed lighting, central air and heat, the condo come with two parking spots,a storage unit where you can deposit my furniture (if you don&#039;t like it and you want use your furniture) ,there is also a linen closet, and most importantly, a new front loading stacked washer and drier...Pets allowed. The kitchen eating area is a large piece of granite that serves as counter space in the kitchen, and as the table in the Living Room side. The counter seats 4 comfortably. The entertainment center is a beautiful credenza that is topped with a brand new   55&#039; High-Definition lcd  tv. The stereo acts as the 5 speaker surround sound for the tv, the radio and cd player. The stereo also is a dvd player and is capable of having an i pod plugged right into a usb port.The Master Bedroom is large with high ceilings, has two windows, a walk-in closet and it has it&#039;s own bathroom. The room has a large, very comfortable Cali-King bed. There are several dressers with an ample amount of drawers. The room also has a desk with several drawers and a file cabinet. The walls are decorated with nice artwork and floating shelves. The bathroom has a large, tiled shower stall behind a glass door. The vanity is covered with a beautiful piece of granite and between the vanity, shelves and medicine cabinet, there is plenty of space for toiletries.The Guest Bedroom is actually larger than the Master.  It has high ceilings, two large closets and a dresser with two matching nightstands. There is one window, a coffee table and a brand new chair and ottoman. Just outside the door two the bedroom is the Guest Bathroom. The guest bath features a large jacuzzi tub and shower. The vanity is large and is covered with granite.  There is also a linen closet, and most importantly, a new front loading stacked washer and drier. The area is clean, safe and beautifully.I&#039;ve moved to United Kingdom with my job (i am a construction engineer) and decided to rent it because the rent is very expensive here.The price is so low because I&#039;m here and is very hard to find a tenant.I can rent you the condo for min. 1 month and max. 6 years(or more).I really want to find a good and responsible tenant for it, and I hope that you can send me some personal information about yourself.The rent for the whole condo for 1 month is $1000 including all utilities(water,electricity, internet, cable, parking , airconditioning, fireplace, dishwasher, garbage) and the security deposit is 1000$(you&#039;ll get the deposit back at your departure-or you can use it to pay your last month of rent) and I want to receive the money monthly in my bank account. You can move in the condo in the same day when you receive the keys. The only problem is that I`m the only person who has the keys and I have nobody in United States that could show you the condo. In order to check it, see if you like it(I&#039;m sure that you&#039;ll love it), you need to receive the keys and the contract.
If you want to rent the condo, please e-mail me back and I will explain you how the payment and shipping will take place</description>

		<description>The scam is under the name &quot;Sharon Anderson&quot; now and they say that &quot;RE/MAX&quot; will now insure the transaction.  Don&#039;t believe it!  I talked to RE/MAX and there&#039;s no such &quot;payment service.&quot;  This scam is running all across the U.S.!!!  Just Google: &quot;Sharon Anderson&quot; Craigslist

Text of received e-mail: 

Hi and thank you for your message about my apartment.

My name is Sharon Anderson, I am 58 years, and I am the owner.
The apartment (2 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, 1100 square footage) is fully furnished with all necessary amenities 
(you have dishes, towels, sheets, LCD TV, DVD, and all that you need to feel maybe better than home).
You also have 1 parking space and a storage unit where you can deposit my furniture 
(in case you want to use your own). Everything is in proper working conditions. Pets allowed. I am looking for somebody that will be able to rent my apartment between 3 months and 5 years.

It is the second time when I rent the apartment in the last 6 months, I had big problems with my last tenant (he practically destroyed 80% 
of the apartment stuff in 1 month and my son had to renovate the whole place because of this), and this time I want to be more careful, 
so it will be highly appreciate if you can send me information about you, the person(s) who will live with you, your job details if you have one, 
some references from your current landlord (if available). 

Please note that the monthly rent includes everything (heating, Internet,TV, parking space, electricity...). 
The monthly rent for the apartment is US $1100. First month&#039;s advance, $1100 deposit.(if you can pay the 3 months in advance it will be considered as 4 month&#039;s rent). 
I will not bother you with anything, I will make sure that you will feel like home as long as the rent is covered on time and the apartment held in proper conditions.

As I am not young, in 2009 I&#039;ve decided that I can&#039;t live on my own so I decided that is better for me to live the rest of my life in peace 
and joy taking care of my grandchildren, so now I am living in United Kingdom with my son. I don&#039;t have anyone in the US that can show you the apartment 
so obviously we need a way to complete this transaction in a safe and fast way for both of us and the solution can be provided by a company called  
RE/Max International, Inc. ( www.Remax.com ) - one of the largest WorldWide Real Estate website. 

I am already a registered member of RE/Max International, Inc  because my apartment is insured with them, they offer discounts for seniors. Using their help you will 
inspect the apartment before I receive the rent. (the rent payment will be locked until you decide if you want to rent the apartment or not).
If the terms above are acceptable, please contact me and I will offer more information about the step by step procedure. Let me know as soon as possible 
if you are interested because I really need to take care of this matter by the end of the next week.

Thank you!


PS: Bellow you will find more pictures. I hope the apartment suits you.</description>

		<description>I got the same email but from Vanessa Evans. The apartment in San Diego looked way too nice to be true. Thanks for posting the stories. Check the email below. It is just another variation of the same theme.
