Just yesterday we updated James Russell's email address and this morning we discovered that it has been changed yet again.

Arrest Warrant issued for Dr. Simon Tylers

Last year we featured a dirtbag by the name of Simon Tylers, a person so brazen that he assumed the title Dr. Simon Tylers in order to scam even more people. As a result this site applied as much pressure as possible in an attempt to thwart future victims. This tactic worked, as like clockwork another scam artist cracked under the pressure.

Simon Tylers slipped up so badly that the Sate of California has issued an arrest warrant and has requested that Interpol (International Police Agency) issue a warrant as well. The unfolding events further legitimizes our cause by empowering people to stand for Justice. Thanks again to those who have worked so tirelessly to make this possible.

For those who doubt the power of this "little blog of ours" as a scam artist once wrote, consider the following. Since being featured yesterday, Rachel Clark has changed her email address, her facticious apartment for rent, and the name of her representative. We say not bad for a days work! We know how popular this site has become, as evident in the amount of visits originating from Nigeria.

Thanks for your response. My name is Rachel Clark and I wish to inform you that the apartment at 199 State St Brooklyn, NY 11201 (1,653 Sqft (approx.), Cross st: (Court Street) Neighborhood: Brooklyn Heights) is still available and belongs to my husband and I. We apologize for the slight delay in responding to your enquiry. We just received some news from our representative ( Samuel Jenkins) who is presently in Chicago had a little accident so we are handling the leasing ourselves.

However, we are very busy people and we will not like to take much of your time, therefore I will go straight to breaking down the terms and conditions that apply to the apartment.

My husband and myself have our preferences in given out the apartment. This means we could be a bit choosy but we apologise in advance if it seems to be rather harsh. The apartment is furnished as you can see from the picture attached but most of the furnitures has been moved into the store room. The furnitures could be replaced if you like. We are looking out for a responsible person or couple,they will accept full responsibility for property damages during their stay. Pets are allowed and we may be given out the apartment at a very low and reasonable price but we are given it out for a minimum period of at least 3 months starting February/March or preferably a longer lease period to as much as 5 years lease. Since we cleared the apartment for renovation on August, we have not been in New York due to business. Myself, my husband and my children have relocated to England, so we will be given out the apartment for a long duration at $950 /month rate (All Utilities included). Our priority is taking a responsible, careful, understanding and reasonable tenant that will take good care of the property, since we will be away for most of the period.


The rental agreement will contain issues like;

rental payments
duration of lease
parking
subletting
damage to premises
painting
pets
payment of utilities
lockouts
right of inspection
deposit refunds
terminating the lease

We do not have time for games so we suggest that if you are not serious about the apartment, you try somewhere else. My time is very valuable and my husband is a very busy person but he will like to still speak with you over the telephone before any arrangement for you to inspect the apartment because we cannot just give attention to everyone that is interested in the apartment. My husband's full names are Christopher Clark, Telephone (+447024062089)011447024062089 or (+447035962694)011447035962694. Call only if you are serious about taken the apartment and let us know how long you will like to have the apartment to help us make our decision. If satisfied, we can discuss on how to get the document and the keys of the house to you to inspect. In your response, tell us a little more about yourself like your names, current address, your present occupation, marital status, if you like pets and why you want to take the apartment?

As soon as we hear from you, we will contact you with more details.

Thanks,
Rachel

Christopher & Rachel Clark Apartment Scam

Using Craigslist can be a great way to find a new apartment. However it can also be a place where people pose as landlords in an attempt to lie, cheat, and steal. Case in point Christopher and Rachel Clark. These factitious landlords claim to live in England while their New York apartment sits uninhabited. Out of left field their "representative" Simon Peterson was suddenly (insert non-believable story here-this time he was) taken ill and is presently in Chicago.

For a very small deposit, the perspective renter simply wires money to Christopher or Rachel, or maybe even another third party, with the promise of receiving keys to the apartment in order to look around and make a decision. By now a giant red flag should have gone up. There never is an apartment to rent, these con artists simply want their victims to wire them a deposit.
