Rental Scam
Kijiji.com |  +3 Agustino Beppe I had a room for rent and this guy from overseas contacted me. He offered to pay 6 months rent. I could not call him due to the nature of his work, he was a ship engineer. He then told me he would send extra money to cover for the cost of shipping his \"things\", through Western Union and that Paypal would contact me to validate that he is indeed a safe customer.
Here\'s the first e-mail:
My name is Beppe. I am 35yo man I just got a job placement in Canada.I am looking for accommodation. I work as an Engineer on a ship at the moment and i have limited time to surf the internet and also phone calls is also strictly limited due to nature of my work. I will like you to make the arrangement for the total cost covering my first 6 months rent together with Deposit. I will also like you to get back to me with your full home address for me to forward it to my mover to calculate the total cost of moving my little stuffs to Canada

Yep, Augustino Beppe tried it on with me too. EXACTLY the same as with the other reporters. It is too bad that this clearly works. I wonder how much he makes in a year using this scam. More than I do probably! I just want to send a huge electric shock back through the email wires and fry his ass, and his computer, into nothingness! Grrrr.

Since you’re here …
we have a small favour to ask. More people are visting Scamdex and Scamalot than ever but advertising revenues are falling fast and we have no 'product' to sell.
And unlike many informational websites, we haven’t put up a paywall or membership barrier – we want to keep our site as open as we can.
So you can see why we need to ask for your help. Scamdex/Scamalot websites takes a lot of time, money and hard work to keep running. We do this because we
hate to see our fellow humans getting scammed out of their hard-earned money by low-lives.
