A few more messages back and forth and still no references, etc. Googled and searched Intelius and nothing.

Most recent message was: Hi ,

I am very happy for the concern,and i want to thank you for giving me the chance,I really appreciate it. I want to let You know that i'll make it up to You and but will be mailing the payment out asap. I want you to know that my furnitures and my car will be delievered before my arrival,please do let me know if you can be there to help me recieve my furnitures and my car ,I won't cause you any financial problem as i will be including the shipper's fee in the payment that i'll be sending ...So you will be getting the shipper's fee and the rent fee together ,You will just deduct your rent fee and keep the shipper's fee till he comes to deliever my things Hope you can understand me? I really appreciate you for u've been so nice from the start and please kindly take off the ad off the site now.. as i plan to arrieve as soon as you get the payment and my goods are delivered to my new place with you And i want you to check the address and name again,and if there is a direct phone number...

BTW, in the messages that went back and forth, she did send pics as she said she would. She's pretty hot!!!

Is this too good to be true or am I being scammed???

SCAM. I can see it already - you get a check for too much, and they want the extra returned. That sounds way too good to be true....Who in the hell describes themselves while looking for a room. Besides, what's a 28 year old,5"7' straight,single and nice French girl doing in North Dakota?
:D

Forget it.

P.S.
We need PICS!

That's what I was thinking. Especially when she said she was sending a check to include delivery of her car and furniture. Attached pics are what she sent. All reality it's probably some nasty middle aged man strung out on meth!!!

Tell that you trust her and it is ok to have her stuff shipped to your house, she can pay the shipper direct and it will be waiting for her when she gets there.

She shows up ugly; have a yard sale the next weekend (hot college chicks scour these things)...

There's no such French word "Aviour" It's au revoir.

But the dead give-away...


I'll love to live with clean,caring and responsible people.

Dude, stuff will get mailed to you, then she'll say it was supposed to go somewhere else. So you forward the boxes (of stolen goods) to the listen addresses. Next thing you know, your bank accounts are drained, you will black out and when you wake up, Stecz will be standing behind your naked body saying, "You have anything to wipe this up?"

Then the guy from "to catch a predator" will be knocking on your door asking for an interview.



I say go for it.

Get her to mail you a check to another address, and then cash it at a check cashing place. That way it is not routed through your bank etc, and then you don't have anything to worry about except where to spend the cash. :26:

I would taunt her......

Dear Kim,

That is awesome that you are coming to live with us. Me and the guys have been riding motorcycles all over the USA but need to cool it for a few months while the federales are looking for us. We have set up a new business in the trailer park where we make our own ice or as you may know it "crystal meth." The kids love it and then we can take them out to the bunker, it is a really cool underground playroom set up like a dungeon with video cameras and everything. Your stuff will look great down there and your car can be used to transport the meth since it has out of state plates no one will suspect a thing. By the way do you have extra shovels in South Dakota. A couple of kids freaked out on the new meth and we need to dig holes out by the septic tanks to get rid of the bodies since they are starting to stink.

When you send your check make sure to make it out to Jack Meoff since he has valid ID to cash it. My ID can't be used anymore since the cops are still looking for a guy with my same name. Their is no way that kid needed that emergency surgery after coming to my place on Halloween, it was just a mix up.

See you soon..............

You ever talk to her on the phone? There is no mistaking a French accent. I know a girl in Ocala, who's French Canadian. Her name is Lynda. Whenever she calls I always answer her like she does. "Thees is Leeenda". :sifone:

She called last night as a matter of fact.
