Subject: I WANT TO MAKE ENQUIRY

Item #1. I do not have an e-mail address of "[email protected]", so I'm not really sure how this got to me. Reading the actual send thingies finds that it did indeed INTEND to get to my ACTUAL e-mail, so I'm not sure why they labeled it this way.

Item #2. Well, I was going to say it's an INQUIRY, but apparently the English language can have it either way, and Ms. Tarrey Robin (what the hell kind of name is that anyway?) chose the lesser-known, more retarded-looking one.

Hey,

I am Tarrey Robin,

I am writing just to confirm if you still have the room for rent? Please I will like to have answers to the following questions below:

Item #3. WTF. I did indeed have a room for rent...back in JUNE. I took down all the ads for it from EVERYWHERE...at least I thought so. Anyway, the date on the ad should be explanation enough, if I didn't get an answer by now I would have REposted it, don't you think?

Item #4. Grammar, people. It doesn't burn like hygiene.

1) I will like to have the description of the room, size, and the equipments in there.

2) I will like to have the rent fee per month plus the utilities.

3) Also I will like to know if there is any garage or parking space cos I will have my own car come over.

4) I will also be coming with some of my furniture, that is if the room is not funished and if furnitures are allowed, like bed, book shelf cos I read alot, shoe rank etc

1) The ad already answered this. It gave the dimensions and location of the room in the house, and said that it was EMPTY.

2) The ad already answered this too. I quote, "Rent will be $700/month including all utilities, cable television, and cable internet, but does NOT include phone service."

3) If there WAS, wouldn't I have mentioned it and hiked up the rent fee? Parking space in Philly is at a PREMIUM and is ALWAYS extra (admittedly, not in the suburbs so much but STILL).

4) The room is not "funished" and I don't really have any say over what my tenants bring as long as it all fits in there and doesn't spill into my space, do I? And what the hell is a "shoe rank"? SPELLING DOESN'T BURN EITHER.

5) I will also like to know if I can make an advance payment ahead my arrival that will be stand as a kind of commitment that I am truely coming over and for you to hold the room down for me.

6) If the #5 questions is YES, I will like to know the total cost for the my initial move as in first month rent and if you accept deposit.

7) I will like to know the major intersection nearest your neighborhood. like shopping mall, bus line e.t.c

8) Lastly, I will like to know more about you and also I will like to have your pics as for me to know how my roommate to be looks like.

9]payment mode.

5) Ah, the markings of a true scammer. "I want to send you a very large cashier's check, which you can cash, take out what is owed to you, and send me the rest..."

6) Who "accepts" deposits? They're REQUIRED. And again, IN THE AD. "First month's rent and a one-month deposit, blah blah blah."

7) IN THE AD GODDAMMIT. And if you know nothing about the area, why the hell do you want to live there?

8) Oh HELLS no. I don't need to send you a picture. You need to send ME a picture so I can decide if I want to live with your smelly scammy butt.

9) Since I am not a major corporation that manages homes and apartments for a living, I think it would be reasonable to assume that a normal person would KNOW you pay your rent either in check or cash and ALWAYS GET A RECEIPT.

I will be very glad to have all this questions answered with out leaving a stone unturned...

Here is all I can say about my self for now.

I am 26 years old female and I work full time,, Monday through Friday and have weekends off except for once a month. I was born in Ft. Worth, Texas, but I was brought up in sheffield I moved 23 years ago back to Uk after the death of my father, .I work in a fashion home as a designer director.I am not really a sports person,, BUT I do love Hockey Games. I am a VERY out going person and fun to be with. I do play the organ and piano,, and I do have BOTH piano and organ here at my house.I am not a drinker and I don't smoke and I don't do drugs.

I think you will like living here and YES I would like to go out with you on weekends and weeknights when we are both free. I like going to movies,, concerts plays,,I like camping, hiking, bike ridding, swimming, and I love to travel.

This is where it goes strangely wrong, even more so than the obvious scam from before. 26-year-old chick born in Texas but brought up in Sheffield (which is in the UK), and 23 years ago she moved BACK to the UK?


And, notice that she has an organ and a piano in her house, and I would "like living [t]here." I thought she was trying to rent a room in MY house??

I am a very dedicated individual who is totally committed to human development, friendly, very trustworthy and value relationship above anything.I love travelling,sporting and enjoy meeting people around the world.I am an easy going person and like to have an apartment/roommate who is very responsible and understanding, someone I can really get along with.

I will take my time to get you one of my pics in my next email ,so you can know how I look like, I am sure you will like me.

I will be staying in your apartment for a year or More. or less depending on how the lease is drawn

Uh...yeah. Bunch of BS, followed by the easygoing statement that she'll be staying for a year or more...Woman, I get to make that decision. Not you. ME LANDLORD, YOU LOWLY TENANT.

I will be arriving the state on before 31st of november 2005......Fortunately, I saw your advert on roommate and I am sincerely interested in the room as advertised

I need answers to my 9 questions above as soon as possible so as to arrange payment prior my arrival .

If you think I will be a good roommate to you and you are interested in roomie with me kindly email me directly here.

Best regards

Tarrey Robin.

She will be arriving the state...so she's not even IN Pennsylvania, and obviously has never been here before, why the hell does she even WANT to move in here?

To be blunt, I wish they hadn't put so much thought into this crap. It's gotten to the point where I see a Yahoo! address and just delete immediately, but this e-mail was so LONG for a scammer...

It quotes a whole bunch of my other "I want to be your roommate" e-mails from random Yahoo! addresses though, and fits the profile. I don't think Tarrey actually wants to live with me.

RE: Scammers are so retarded.

Ask her:

"To which address would you like to have rent in?"

[lightdarkness]

RE: Scammers are so retarded.

I love how you replaced his name with retarted scammer. made me chuckle

RE: Scammers are so retarded.

I like how you can look at the word "retarded" and still misspell it two seconds later.

My parents got the minivan when my granddad passed away. We kept it for a few years and then decided to sell, so we placed ads in the paper. I don't remember if it sold that way or if someone else in the family asked for it or we sold it to a dealer..

Anyway.

Two years later, we're getting ready to move and trying to sell our house. Someone calls inquiring about "our ad," and as we were trying the whole "for sale by owner" thing, we reasonably assumed they meant they were calling about our house. Then the person started asking about mileage and seats and things. Turns out whoever it was had stumbled across a VERY OLD section of the classifieds and wanted our very sold van.

RE: Scammers are so retarded.

Babe... have the scammer gotten to such a low level that they have THAT bad spelling and grammar? Frankly, I think that poor girl actually DOES want to live with you... and is just the dumbest 26 year old I've ever heard of.

Basically, where is the scam? No where does she say she's giving you any more money than needed, or a need to give it back... which is the basis of all those UK/South Africa scam thingies.

TOTALLY NOT SUSPICIOUS



Funny how I can check my mail after the (numerous) suspension(s).

The ultimate best part is that I don't even check my mail, nor do I send any mail, so almost 90% of the time, these messages just get wiped automatically.

1) I will like to have the description of the room, size, and the equipments in there.

You hear that? She wants to take your equipments from you.

Next time you post an ad, make sure to put "tenants must have an IQ of 50 or better" at the bottom.

[whorlichan]

RE: Scammers are so retarded.

Shadow: Read the stickies, and stop posting in topics you're not actually commenting on. That's post-whoring and is against the rules. Go to the newbie forum and introduce yourself there, and maybe someone will help you figure out how to stop being seen as a retarded spammer.
