I kept writing back just to see what they say or do. What also funny is im Romanian. Im not sure if its a coincidence that they stated that country or they researched my name.

hat sounds good Deborah. Im sorry to hear about your mom. My mom has been having some heart troubles herself here lately. Please email the pictures and description of all you need done so i could give you general price of my services. You will find that me and my company are very trustworthy. We will take great care of cleaning your home and safekeeping of the keys until you return. Will you contact your boss or do you need me to contact him and refer to your name. Also usually I have all checks payable to the company name ALL WASHED UP EXTERIOR CLEANING LLC. If that is a big problem with your boss I guess i could do it to personal account.

Florin,

Make sure you get a 10% handling charge for all that money.

[FLORIN 21]

yep. I keep trying to play around with these guys and make them think that im biting. Inn some later emails to them i keep insisting on a adress so i could see the property or at least pics but they seem to not care about my price. In one of them i said how will you know your check will cover my expenses and have enough for their travels and sick mother. Got a response on instructions on cashing the check. Whatever.

[Scott Stone 604]

Kind of tells you how many responses they really get to these things. They are probably a bunch of form letters that are just serialized. Alls they know is that number one is number one, etc.

Florin,

Playing games with these scammers using a business email addy can be dangerous.This is a variation of the typical 419 Nigeria scam.Often times these people have criminal contact is the US who very possibly could find a way locate you.PLease be extremely careful if you procede with this.

In the mean time check out Welcome to the 419 Eater

I really dont have too much fear of them at this time. My whole point of keeping this going is to waste their time. When i do cut it(which might be soon) i will do it cordially and not tell them off. Ill tell them something along the lines of bank verified funds before cashing or i will cut it off before the check will be sent
