Hi,
Thank you very much for the response but before we move forward,i will like you to know the full information about me. I was born and raised in Wyoming,i am quiet and easy going person to live with. I'm 26 years of age... I am extremely clean,quiet and respectful, I am sensitive, intelligent and am easy to get on with. ..I am a faithful and committed person, who is very considerate of other people's feelings. I don't drug and i dont smoke or drink.. I enjoy going out with my friends to movies, plays, parks, hikes, anything to do with the ocean and horses but i'm cool living with people.
Right now, am working for a Non Government Organization on a program on children with orphans and heart related probs.My next program/seminars will be in your town and I will need a room to stay for these seminars, so I want to secure a room before my arrival.
I must confess that i'm comfortable with the area of the house/apt and i am ready to pay for the room. I will like to make the payment for the first month ahead of my arrival, and then i will make subsequent payment thereafter as i plan to stay for 6-12months.I have told my boss about this and he promised to make sure that he will meet up with the payment so that I can depart from here as scheduled.He also said I will have the advantage to make payment for deposit .I should arrive to your place on or before the 18th of January, so pls keep the room for me till my arrival.He also said my mode of payment will be the Most acceptable,safer and reliable means of payment which is United state certified money order/Cashier Check so get back to me with your name and address so that i can send you the payment as early as possible.
This happened to my husband except his was one from Craigslist. posted wanted job add and this guy Email him and acts as if he is from out of town and is getting ready to move here and to please cash the check and send X amount to the painter of his house as his accountant could only print one check out... yeah OK! So the check came UPS bit just a check. no letter... for $970.55 ACT, Inc. Iowa city iowa .. and us bank 222 2 nd SE..
..yeah and the package was sent from the check looks very real and very tempting sense rent is due and we are broke. But at least we knew better! sad that people do this to anyone.but elderly and family's that could really use a break. Glad everyone posted to keep it out there that these checks are fake.
Incoming phone call which I cancelled as number unknown. Shortly after text arrived basically wanting to know when they should be ready. Ready for what - I have no idea who this call or text is from. I simply ignore. Either a spammer or someone else had this number previously.
