Currently being used by a scam artist!

A young woman posted on craigslist looking for a room to rent under the email address shinninglitz12@aol.com - Didn't take too long to figure out she was running a scam! Beware! Thankfully I managed to figure it out before I cashed the check that was sent.

She states she's a young woman from South Dakota who is a yoga instructor and a nurse looking for a room to stay in. Full ad:
Hello,

I am seeking a room to rent in the area or surrounding area, I am open to sharing a place with a female or responsible male. Rental may be unfurnished or furnished. And I can do month - month, lease too. I would love to find a place that is close to almost everything. I am a professional single lady, I dont drink nor smoke, no pets but okay if you have any around, i clean up after myself and do like keep my environment clean. I am financially reliable and am consistently able to pay rent and utility payments on time. I am honest and would like to rent from likeminded person.
Willing to pay a reasonable amount for a nice place but do contact me if you have a place for rent with information about rent fee, deposit and other details.

Thanks
------------------------
I am very happy to have met you, you a great person and i am happy to secure the rental, I want you know that this means so much to me, and the payment will be mail as soon as possible. Also i want you to know that I plan to have my things and car delivered before my arrival because of a possible trip and i might just be flying back from there. Please do let me know if you can be there to help me receive them, and i would make sure it is deliver on the best and available day for you (probably a weekend) and the delivery people will do the moving so you do not have to worry at all. You also wouldnt have to worry about anything missing.
If so i will be including the shipper's fee in the payment that i will be sending, so it will cost you nothing, but if not i can have them wait till i arrive. But if you can which i pray you would, you will just  keep the shipper's fee when he comes to deliver my things, after you have gotten the money i sent.
Hope you can understand me?I will let you have the list of my things that will be coming too. I'm already committed to the rental.I will not give any chance to loose it, as arrangement for the money had been made and it will be out asap and please do not advertise the rental again, i wouldnt want to loose the place. Importantly, I want you to know that a special yoga workshop is being organised in india for a week, It is a sponsored trip, though i am not sure about my going but i will call you and keep you posted about it. I hope this wont be a deal breaker, as it will only be for a week and it would be of advantage for me and for my career.
Thanks to you again.

Hayley

If you need any more information about this person look at this thread here:

I received the same type of email from a Craigslist add....you can definitely tell this is a scam, anything you say or questions you ask are totally ignored and it is like the person is typing from a script. They basically just copied and pasted their answers, cause they answered me like 3 seconds after I emailed them, it wasn't even enough time to read my email.
I will post the person response below:

Hi, thanks for emailing me, I am looking to rent soon and i think its fair to let you know about me, My name's Hayley Johnson, 27y/o single female, self sufficient, easygoing and fun to be around. I do not smoke, drink nor do drugs. I clean up after myself as well as my environment, I am respectful of other people's privacy and opinions. I am pet friendly but do not own any.
I'm from Pierre, S.Dakota and still here, the reason behind my move, is simply because of change. And this is about time as i just lost my mother to cancer (I have been putting off my move just because she's been sick for long). I have been wanting to try a new place,  have new experience, and most importantly achieve my goals. I am a travel Nurse by profession, but teaching yoga is what i love doing, I have broad knowledge of yoga/wellness as i had the opportunity to learn that in India 3 years ago and i have been teaching people here too. I am a christian, Yoga to me is about the purity of the body and mind/improving health and I will never bring it home if you object to it.  About rent, I have money saved up, so you wouldn't have to worry about me paying rent/bills on time till i get settled. I plan making my own yoga video and I also will be looking to rent a space in the area(or maybe gym) when i move, as i planned giving yoga classes to people there when i move. I am financially reliable and it has been a plus making money from teaching yoga as a lot of people look after themselves now in an easy way. I will like to find a place before i start looking around for something physical/permanent at hospitals there too. I choose to tell you all about me as i need no drama, so please email me back if you are looking to rent ASAP and let me know if i am someone you'd like to rent to. I will provide my number, pics and other informations as long as i am sure that you'd be renting to me in next emails. Thanks for your time and i await your next email.
