They advertise in GumTree.com looking for tenant to rent their apartment at 25 Craven hill Gardens Bayswater London for quite good price considering is in the Capital. I applied to the advertisement and within minutes I had a reply from the 'husband Ken' who is situated in West Africa on a Crusade, he wanted me to get in touch with his 'wife Barbara' in Texas USA to get more information. I therefore email the 'wife', again within minute she replied saying she and her husband had an accident and it has subjected her to wheelchair, oh another email she said she is deaf so she can't make phone calls and gave me her 'husband' number to call on +2347088797945 OR 0112347088797945, those are the number I google to found this website. I've read everyone comments and it is exactly what they have sent me. How do these people live? and how dumb are they. They even used god in their emails, blessing me all the way. I hope one day some one can catch them. Keep up naming and shaming these criminals.<br /><br />vivvivhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17736342297130210661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6444545940829032089.post-53235081547741527782009-09-28T10:10:00.769-07:002009-09-28T10:10:00.769-07:00I have been contacted regarding an apartment in Sa...I have been contacted regarding an apartment in Santa Monica- 1316 12th St Santa Monica, CA 90401. :(Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6444545940829032089.post-77696178010178085412009-09-20T01:58:27.866-07:002009-09-20T01:58:27.866-07:00Wow, I feel gullible.

I was corresponding with John and Mary Collins who are offering an apartment in Santa Monica for $650 (well below normal market value for a 1 bedroom with all utilities included). Same story as what was cut and pasted above. John is in Africa, Mary is in a wheelchair in Texas. The thing that tipped me off was their 'application form' is those 14 questions and is in no way official looking.
