I have gotten a few of those kinds of responses from ppl overseas. They were "engineers" but misspelled everything and kept saying "Let God be with u" and ll that kinda stuff and kept wanting to send a few months up front to secure the apartment. I kept telling him we don't need tht much money up front but he kept insisting... Finally I kept emailing him back- I could tell it was fishy.

That is hilarious. I remember when I was looking for a roommate I'd get a few of these a day. I wonder what exactly they are trying to pull.

It was an obvious scam, but it still burned up my time reading through the whole thing. Landlord beware.... I received this same e-mail after I posted an apartment for rent in Craiglist.
