Saw an ad on kijiji for room for rent. Emailed to ask for details. Reply said Mr and Mrs. Felix and their daughter had to move to UK to work for WHO (UN) and would give me the whole apartment for $700 provided I take good care of it. I said I want to have a look first. Got reply to send first month's rent and deposit and he will fedex me the keys. When I refused, I got the following msg from the 347 number "I want you to know i have to be carefully this days,You sound skeptic from your last email, and that's very wrong, if you are thinking that I just wanted to take your money for nothing. When I know how people work and earn their money, I will never think of taking some advantages over you and your money, please take that out off your mind, that is really awful thing on the earth that I will never think about doing. Please understand me better, I was not trying to lure you into this,everything about me and my home is 100% real ok, i can never tarnish my name and image all because of money and i wouldn't do such a thing when i have blood running through my vain,So as I shall be giving you My home With your Age I know you would be able to take good care of it well for me,I don't disappoint people cause i know how hurting it could be and as someone who has the fear of God in me". I got six calls from him in 2 hours but didnt respond. I replied to the message saying that I have rented another place and he has gone quiet.
