Our Fraudsters and Scammers List
October 21st, 2008 | by david |We have decided today (10.21.08) to start publishing e-mail addresses of people who have targeted the renters on our site (or our site in general), and who have been identified as trying to commit fraud or scams. This list will continue to grow, unfortunately. We hope this information is helpful to anyone who has someone questionable on the ‘other end.’ These people rarely are ‘country or area specific’ and are often attempting scams in multiple countries and locations. Do NOT Do Business With These People!

Haha, (desmondweiss@googlemail.com) emailed me about an ad for a room for rent on craigslist. As soon as they mentioned that “my employer will be covering all of my costs, and will send me payment in one cheque. I will need you to take it upon yourself to pay the shipper of my motorcycle with a portion of the money from this cheque”. Who actually falls for this stuff? -_-
By Marie on Feb 4, 2009 | Reply
I have received a similar email and almost got caught. The shipper’s email went like this: Hello , I am Henry Sphink and I am Mr Dickson Bamson’s shipper.He instructed me to get in touch with you pertaining his personal effects that he will be shipping from the UK to Canada but I have been instructed not to commence shipping until payment gets to you. There are certain details that I will be requiring from you so as to make sure everything goes as planned.But most especially I will be needing the address that Mr Bamson’s effects will be arriving in
Canada. I await your response and full co-operation. Thank You Henry Sphink

Guys, I have another one for you. HE sent me an exact same e-mail as one of the ones you posted. This guy even called me live. His name is John Kennart. I had a feeling ti was bogus and I went as far as giving him my name and address. Then this whole thing about shipping a car came in. I said, “well in canada we have the driver in the middle of the road not the side.” He said, he took his car to be converted, I thought that sounded sketchy. This is his email address jkennart@googlemail.com. After the shipping talk I googled the email that I received form the supposed shipper. Sure enough it came up, and I checked it out on this site. Can ya tell me please, I have given him my name and address , is this enough to harm me in anyway? I’m gonna report the email right now. Cheers! PS please send me an email with more info on this group of people.

Thank you both very much for your posts. Since I tried to look this Harrison Brown up, as something didn’t feel quite right with his emails, I came upon your postings that confirmed my suspicions. The address he used was raw.blue3@yahoo.com
Fortunately, I had not given any personal information nor replied to his second email. The following are copies of the two emails sent to me. I hope they can be of use to anyone out there to make sure not to reply or open emails from that name or email address.

Hello,
I am definitely interested in renting the place and would be staying
for at least one year and I can be flexible to your plans. I will be glad
to make early arrangement as I am arriving before the month ends.
Where is the nearest intersection?
My employer will be sending you payment for the place and my shipper
will be shipping my Honda 2008 model and other personal effects
before I move into your place.I wont be bringing much over as I intend
to buy most afresh there. But my PC will be coming with me surely &
other personal belongings.If this is okay with you, kindly mail me back
your name to make out the payment in & your address to have it sent
to. I will be happy if you sent your phone number as well..
I will be off to see my sick mum in the hospital who is due for surgery
soon.
Thank you so very much for understanding and I hope to hear from you
Yours Sincerely
Harrison

I just got that exact harrison brown email. I thought it was a bit fishy because he wanted my address and phone number without giving anything of his own. So I asked for his and when he gave it to me 447024092703, I dialed it and came up with “cannot complete your call” I ended up giving him my cell number before I called though in a moment of stupidity. I imagine this is some sort of Identity Theft thing I’ll have to get my cell number changed.

Thanks for your postings. I went to phone Harrison Brown at the number he sent and Skype said I “wasn’t allowed to call this number” (+447024092703) Strange. So I searched the number and found this site. Thank you again.
Harrison has emailed me messages almost exactly to what he mailed to Winston. I have sent him my name, address and phone number but I will stop there. It seemed odd to me that he would want to rent a place that he has never seen. I also asked him for employer references and details of his “personal effects”. He hasn’t replied. I thought it was because he was busy with his mother since she just has surgery. Now I know better.
Harrison called me today and a Vancouver number showed on my caller ID. I am wondering if he is in Vancouver and posing as a shipper and may try and get into the addresses that he obtains. We’ll see.
Keep on sharing! Thanks.

Aaron Cole is at it again.. This time he’s wanting to book a recording studio for the month of July. I emailed back a quote of $9500. While the 1st email was suspicious, the second email exposed the scam. The one odd factor is he wants to use a credit card to pay, instead of the usual counterfeit cashiers check overpayment method. A stolen credit card would not approve, nor would he have access to chargeback funds if the card was valid because the money would go back on the original card. A legit card would expose his identity.
A Google search on his phone number led me here. Good job!

Here are 3 emails from that idiot! I wish I came to this blog first, before replying to him/her…At least we all found out about this scammer, I just feel sorry for those who have not!
Hello,
I am interested in renting your place and here is a little info about myself. I am Jamie and I am 26 years old, at present I am based in the UK but will be relocating to your Province in a couple of weeks to settle.Consequent to this and in order to make settling in much easier and quicker I am searching for an accomodation early and I saw your add on the site and would be very happy if reservation for the place can be made.
I can assure you that you will not have any regrets letting out this apartment to me as I am a very respectful and matured individual who values peoples opinions and also loves to be happy and make people happy( Happiness is a product of making someone happy).I am calm and collected by nature and I get along much easily with most people.
Furthermore, I do not smoke and I drink very lightly.I will be coming over alone,with no family or pets.
My reason for moving is because I have a new job offer and the pay is very good. I will be working as a DataBase Adminstrator for Priority I. T Corp.
Please reply me as soon as you read this email.I ll be waiting to hear from you.Kindly contact me via email.
Thank you once more
Yours sincerely
Jamie
Hello,
I am happy you responded to my email and I look forward to coming over to Canada by July 25 for 1 year but I can be flexible to your plans.
My employer will be sending you payment for the rent($900).
Also my shipper will be shipping my Honda 2009 model and other personal effects before I move into your place.I wont be bringing much over as I intend to buy most afresh there. But my PC will be coming with me surely & other personal belongings.If this is ok with you, kindly mail me back your name to make out the payment in & your address to have it sent to. I will be needing your number so we can talk.
I will be off to see my sick mum in the hospital who is due for surgery soon.
In case you want to get to me my number is +447024033015(skype i.d is good.lord2).
I look forward to your response.
Yours Sincerely
Jamie
Hello,
My employer has sent payment to your location and I’ll be sending you the details later. This will enable you know when it will arrive. I will appreciate if you notify me as soon as it does.
This is the first time I will be traveling to North America and I believe articulating myself with the cultural change will not be difficult as people like you will make me settle in easily. In the UK majority of us are conservatives and I believe Canada is an environment with more liberal and free thinking individuals( and more beautiful ladies, LOL!!!).
Facing new challenges and enhancing my skills will be first priority and I promise you that you will not regret ever renting the place out to me as I am a very matured and understanding person.
Most importantly my shipper will be getting in touch with you regarding shipping of my Honda Accord (2009) to your place and I have given him your contact.His name is Andrew Whiff and he’ll contact you by email.
Yours sincerely
Jamie

I received the identical e-mails from Andrew Whiff, the ” mover”, and Jamie Kendrich, “the potential renter”, plus the “sad news” e-mail of his mother’s death. The bank draft his “employer” sent looked absolutely genuine, even the bank branch thought it was genuine…they held it 5 days and of course it was false! No I didn’t send any money thankgoodness. Amazing, had 2 phone calls with him, he sounded young and had a slight accent and genuine!
He must have an accomplice here in Canada, but I couldn’t read the postmark on the envelope.

Dear,
I need a (PA) Personal Assistant. I’m looking for someone that can be trusted and reliable to work very well and good understanding person.
This position is home-based and flexible, working with me is basically about instructions and following them, my only fear is that I may come at you impromptu sometimes, so I need someone who can be able to meet up with my irregular timings. As my assistant, your activities amongst other things will include;
*Running personal errands, supervisions and monitoring.
*Scheduling programmes, flights and keeping me up to date with them.
*Acting as an alternative telephone correspondence when I’m away.
*Making regular contacts and drop-offs on my behalf.
*Handling and monitoring some of my financial activities.
Basic wage is $400 a week for just 10 hrs or less per week . If you’re interested you can e-mail me back Asap.

Hello ,
The unimaginable thing I feared most has happened to me.My mother
passed away yesterday night. I am the most distraught person on planet
earth but there is need for me to gather mental, physical and spiritual
strength at this trying moment.
My mother is the catalyst behind all my present achievements and I
have been 500% dependent on her for more future support.Why did she
have to go? Arrangements are being made and she will be laid to rest
on Sunday.
I told my employer(Bryan Miller) about the news and he has given his
condolences.Also he told me to have patience with the payment(National
Bank Draft) as it was sent via regular mail.
He made a mistake of sending Alex’s(shipper) money along with yours
instead of sending it separately.What do we do about that? Please
advise.

Hey guys here is a new one from Jamie Kennart
Hi,Let me know the specific details you want to know. My mum’s surgery isscheduled to take place in 10hrs time, wish me luck! Here’s a poem I composed(100% Plagiarised,lol).
Jamie
Canada, oh Canada
what hast thou done with me
whenever I do close my eyes
my heart is there with thee
Your mountains and great forests
of an infinity
Sequoias stand majestically
ancient serenity
What everlasting pleasure
lies in your scenery
the crumbling walls of what once was
beneath a Maple tree
Golden fields of waving grain
whisper a lullaby
the sunset slowly fades away
beyond your endless sky
Canada, oh Canada
what hast thou done with me
I feel thou whispers in my soul
I wish to be with thee
I spot a single red deers
cent danger in the breeze
the slightest noise will make her flee
among your mighty trees
I see your children playing
out on a frozen pond
at snowball fights and slapping pucks
a magic way beyond
Mem’ries of the days gone by
engraved into my soul
return to you I will some day
it’s always been my goal
Canada, oh Canada
what hast thou done with me
thou temptress of my craving heart
I long to be with thee

Exchanged e-mails with Jamie, female from U.K., identical first message as Jamie Kenart who is happy and likes to make others happy, blah, blah, became suspicious as I couldn’t imagine a 26 year old having her honda shipped here, could she drive on the right hand side of the road? I asked her for information that she didn’t supply. I checked out the UVic scam alert and realized that was what was happening. I did give my address and phone # in the second e-mail before I became suspicious. I received an e-mail this morning from Andre Whiff from shipitfastuknownownow!!! I have reported both e-mails to internet fraud and FTC on line complaint.Should I do more?

second email after my reply
Hello,
I just came accross your ad.
I was born in and raised in Europe 26 yrs ago and pretty much moved
around Europe half of my life until my parents decided to settle in
England where I live now. I’m a matured, Vivacious, career driven
individual. I don’t smoke and drink on very sparse occasions (probably
won’t even consume up to 5 liters in year) which might be buoyed
something very special like a job promotion or maybe a best friend’s
wedding (lol).
I am also not opinionated and will never condemn anyone for their
sexual, religious inclinations or what so ever primordial variables. I
think the day we perceive ourselves beyond such clouts, there would be
world peace and visceral love.
I plan on staying in Canada for at least 3 years minimum because my
work contract is for two years and I will be working for Cross Bow
Technology. So I should be able to sign a year contract there is need
for it.
Have a spectacular day!
Jamie
