i saw a house for rent in calarado,

I was ready to rent the following property from a John Ross ( johnross731@yahoo.com )

77-220 Hoowaiwai Court, Kailua Kona HI 96740

It was listed on HawaiiRental website.

We sent emails back and forth and he 'claimed' to be looking for a 'god fearing' individual that he could trust.

Then he/she writes "We are not in rush, we look forwarding hear back from you soon, soon i will be travelling with my family to Baltimore,MD"

But then he insisted that I send a WesternUnion wire transfer of $700 to:

Name: Jean Doris Hamblen
Address:425 Northwest Brook Street, Newport OR 97365

WHAT A CROOK!!!!!!

He ALMOST got my money - but THANK GOODNESS FOR THIS WEBSITE!!!!

My guess is that if you find who's behind Jean Doris Hamblen's account you'll find a crook.I was ready to rent the following property from a John Ross ( johnross731@yahoo.com )

Here is the latest name linked with that number: Jorge Velasquez - jorgevelasquez238@yahoo.com
I found a house for rent on Trulia.com. The rent was right so I contacted them for more info. They only contacted through email. They said they were in Texas and unable to meet me for a viewing; I live in California. I replied for even further info, they were willing to send me the keys and paperwork without ever meeting me. Yeah... so I decided to look up the phone number and here I am...
Sad, I was hoping for a legit deal.

This loser Christopher Darnell is the name he went by tried to scam me in Joliet, IL. He used this number and the email address is christopher634@ymail.com. I called the realtor of the property and sent her the fake rental ad used in Trulia as well as his email correspondence claiming rent included utilities which is where we got suspicious. We then searched the assessors office to see if he was the owner and he wasn't so after looking up the phone number found it was a scam. I immediately called the police to report his scam but because he didn't get our money, he can't be stopped so he's out there stealing from someone else as I type!!! Disgusting!!!

He's stealing a listing in Baton Rouge, LA right now. Contacted us about a home that's being sold.  Tried to get us to send money via wire transfer.  Somehow people like this should be stopped!  Listing is 14419 Eastridge in Baton Rouge, LA.
