Well her name is now Jessica and in Boston

Hello,

Thanks for taking the time to look at my property. My name is Jessica Anderson, I’m 43 years old, I’m a construction engineer and I’m the owner of this condo (2 bedrooms,2 bathrooms,1200 square footage). It’s located in 57 Boylston St, Jamaica Plain, MA 02130. 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’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’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’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 whole the condo for 1 month is $850 including all utilities(water,electricity, internet, cable, parking, airconditioning, fireplace, dishwasher, garbage) and the security deposit is 850$ (you’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’m sure that you’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!

Regards,
Jessica

Be careful. Thanks for the posting, it only serves as evidence

She now goes by Jennifer Aston, and is pitching her scam through Craigslist for an apartment in Santa Monica. She’s still using the same speech. This site helped me from making the biggest mistake ever. The apartment was to good to be true.

She’s working in LA, too. Only this time, she’s Jennifer Aston. I knew it was fishy from the beginning. You’d think they’d at least write a new story about the whole thing. Sheesh.

Glad I found this thread!

We got onto her/him as well! The saying is true: When it seems to good to be true, it usually is.

Same story, (SANTA MONICA): Ebay #, money first, keys later, condo didn’t exist, number unreachable, etc etc…

I reported her/him to Craigslist spam.

this is the email used in my case: nniaston0080888ijlen@hotmail.com and phone number: (0044)774-777-5045

Blessings

It looks like another scam has cropped up in Australia. Someone named “Mary Cavanaugh” (mary.cavanaugh34@gmail.com) posted an apartment on rent.com.au for 127 Kent Street Street. The apartment and rent were too good to be true.

She e-mailed and said there is a “RE/MAX International Rental Service” to use and received e-mails that appeared to be from “ReMax.com” with the subject line: Re/Max Transaction #453561. There is even a link to a fake web site that has the RE/MAX logo on it and everything.

I confirmed this with RE/MAX – this is a scam. Beware! Do not send money!
