craigslist scammer

I wonder in what world this person thought this would work.


Hi, I am interested in renting the guest house you have posted on craigslist. I have a few questions about the place:
1. what is the square footage?
2. what is the deposit and lease agreements?
3. would it be available to a couple? (we both are going to be working in downtown la)
4. what is the parking situation?

if you would like to talk feel free to contact me at 805 331 7109.

thanks for your time.


the emails in between these two was his wierdo story about the last tenant he had and my response to it. trying to keep it short and to the point here...

Hello ,

Thanks for your swift response and your sense of humor i am, so happy. I am glad you really understand exactly what i really mean and also your understanding . The apartment is located at (5069 Montezuma Los Angeles, CA 90042).Due to what happened to us in the past we are just so careful with the kind of tenant that will be our next tenant cause we don't to experience what you went through from our former tenant. I left the state with the key and document and did not put my home in charge of any agency.As prior the viewing of the home, I'll send you the key and document to you through a courier service such as Fed Ex or UPS so that when you receive it you can have access to view the inside of my home. plz i don't want you to make me ever regret all what I'm doing for you cause i have a high blood pressure due to what i went through from my former tenant that is why i don't want to have a heart attack.If you really want to rent our apartment i want you to promise me that you will always be a good tenant and you will always stand to your promise. i want you to fill out the rent application details below so that i can have it in my file.The lease is for 6months, a year or longer just let me know how long you intend renting it.

Robert,

I would appreciate it if you would send me a legitimate rental application and an address that i can have it sent or faxed to. Please excuse me if i come off as rude but your willingness to mail a key to your home to a complete stranger makes me think that you are a scam. please indicate tonight if you are not, otherwise my interest is lost, thank you.
