como se construye un scam en el dia de los inocentes

Alquilamos dos habitaciones para estudiantes o investigadores de las universidades de Worcester. Muchos de ellos provienen del exterior de USA.Usualmente ponemos el aviso en craigslist cuando alguno de nuestros huespedes se va. Esta vez tuve una ansiosa ( o ansioso ) interesada/o en la habitacion y despues del intercambio de varios emails la creciente sospecha me llevo a investigar y descubrir que estaban intentando una treta vulgar que segun parece les habia dado resultado varias veces en los pasados meses:

Hello Leaser,


my name is Jenifer walcot, i am an pediatric nurse and a make up artist as part time,i was opportuned to see and i read through your posting concerning the advert you posted on craigslist.com, i am expressing my sheer interest in taking up the room, what are the modalities in taking up the place, please have the requirements sent in these form


*Total rent Required before moving in
* Utility Bills

I will be anxiously waiting for your email ,I want you to know that i really need the room now and i am the serious type paying rent ,when emailing me please tell me more about the place and more pics if you have...I am open to any type of lease..


Kind Regards


Jenifer

bon jour,

Thanks once again for the quick reply,I would have loved to call You but am leaving now to see my sick uncle ,i can only communicate through email but I will, whenever i get there but before that i will want to secure the place,I am very happy meeting a person like you,It 's nice reading from you again and i will never ever want to loose the room even without seeing the place ,i smell the kind of person whom you are and i like you,I will want You to know that i am okay with the cost ,if none is included again.....

I got to believe that the person that one wants to live with matters most,i believe that you'll be a nice person,I just have my dressers,computer table,kitchen utensils and a queen size bed,2 big luggages and my car to be shipped....


I got a message that my uncle is sick in france and i have to go see him but i am making plans to secure place so that when i come back i'll just move in into the place we are talking about. and with the way we ve communicated,I am okay with you and i want you to know that i don't want to make any travel plans without securing a place down now,I will be signing a year lease for the start if you are okay with that,so i ve let my uncle understand more about you and the place,He is really comfortable and he told me that it is a nice area he had lived in the states before and he said that i should not afford to loose your place also he said that i should try and make sure that i hold down the place,so i thought of it and i will be making payment to hold down the place and the mode of payment will be the Most acceptable,easier,safer and reliable means of payment which is United State Certified money order so pls let me know if this mode of payment is ok by you.

And if YES pls provide me with the following information to get the payment to you.Your full name as it will appear on the payment,your work place address to ensure delivery in your hands through regular mails or a courier service,your phone number on the package to avoid package missing in transit.I will prefer to send to your work address because you will always be available at work from morning till evening but if home address it will be sitting in your mail and no one will be at home to receive the package.And if you don't receive package at your office address then I guess your home address will be good for the delivery right ? But to avoid any delay of you receiving at home then I guess any address will be fine as long as you will be able to receive it.

Kindly get back to me with this requested address contact information so that we can proceed asap bye for now.. I guess i'll feel more comfortable paying ahead now,I just dont want to loose the place.


Feel free to ask me any question(s) you have okay

merci
Jenifer
