Who called from 6056460469

This is a housing scam. Don't fall for it. This person replied to my craigslist ad for a room for rent using the name Cheryl McCoy. Her story doesn't add up and she uses weird syntax. Native English speakers don't mess up their syntax like that either, even in writing. I have gotten more scam replies than honest replies to this ad. It makes me sad.

I replied to an ad for a female looking to move to my town and needing a room to rent. The first reply from Cheryl McCoy appeared normal, but the second reply raised my suspicion. Like you stated above, the syntax was weird. Also, everything on her fb page was added on a single day in October. Therefore, I just did a Google search and found your warning. The phone number given to me is the same but nobody has called me. Thanks for the warning!

Response to my room rental ad on Craigslist  - wants to pay top dollar for the room, sight unseen AND do so in advance with a six-month payment using a Money Order.

BEWARE THIS PERSON.
