Thanks for getting back to me regarding my vacant rooms.just to tell you a little about me,my name is Jayne Milissa Vesnich, I'm British. I just relocated to

Australia to start a new job and i'm a very loving person to be with, so you'll really enjoy our stay together.

I work as a representative of my company,i work with a fabric company based in the United Kingdom,i was recently transfered to Australia to gain a market for

my Company.

In order to widen our market,i was also saddled to bring our product close to people of Newzealand and since Aussie is not quite far,i was also given the job

of handling the market,so i'm presently in NZ to reachout to the people.

But before making my trip,due to security reason i deposited my keys with DHL back in Perth,so that any interested individuals can have assess to my

apartment,all you need to pick up my keys is the reference number of the keys.

I have handed everything over to him to handle on my behalf,he is based in United Kingdom,you can contact him on ************** or ******************,so you can both reach a concerete conclusion,before then you can go and have a look at my apartment from outside **** Stuart

Street,Perth,WA 6000.

I will like you to get back to me with the details below so i can also inform him to get the lease document prepared with your details

Full Name:
Age:
Sex:
Occupation:
Moving Date:
Present Address:

Contact Number:

However you can still move in while am still away, because like i said i deposited the Spare Keys of the apartment with the DHL Office over there in

Australia so if you really want to move in i will be wiling to send you the Reference Number (code number) that you will present to the DHL Officers so as to get the spare keys that i deposited with them or better still i will like you to send me your present address so that i can have it sent directly to you DHL 24hours Express Delivery Service and you will get the Keys and Lease Tenant Agreement Document within 24hours,

I will like you to get back to me as soon as possible so that your lease document can be prepare and you can proceed with making your payment of one month and the bond directly to my solicitor in London via Western Union Money Transfer(he said this is the easier way of getting the payment), so that the room would be fully reserved for you till you are ready to move in.

I'll be willing to send you a scanned copy of my passport and certificate of ownership of the apartment you will be paying for,so as to prove to you that i

truly own the apartment and that there's nothing at all to worry about. You are in safe hands.

Hope to read from you again soon.

Hope i'm not putting you in much stress,it was just due to the nature of my job.

Please get back to me as soon as possible so to know your decision.

Thanks for getting back to me once more.

Kind Regards
scammer

Sorry for not replying earlier but I was busy with work.

Here are my details but I want to have a look in the apartment first. If I do move in, I will be able to pay the deposit in 2.5-3 weeks time and move in, in about 4 weeks time. I would really prefer to go see the apartment with someone who is familiar with the building.

I'll tell you a bit about myself as well, I was studying engineering, which I changed to nanotech which i deferred, and now I'm working full-time with Telstra.

I have been trying to contact my friend who unfortunately is sick currently, so i have not yet managed to today, but she is interested and I will be taking photos of the apartment for her to look at when I go to look inside.

Yes, those (passport/ownership papers) would be perfect for assurance that I am in fact in safe hands.

Full Name: *************************
Age: *****
Sex: ******
Occupation: *******************************
Moving Date: 3-4 weeks

Contact Number: *******************
Cheers,
ronin

Sorry for the late reply,attached is a scanned copy of my passport,i have forwarded you details to my solicitor so i expect him to get the lease document sent to you as soon as possible.

However i have requested for a scanned copy of my Certificate of Ownership from him,so as soon as i get it i will forward it to you just to assure you that you are in safe hands.

Also i will like to know when you are proceeding with the payment for the room,so i can inform my solicitor to ignore other interested individual.

I will be looking forward to read from you as soon as possible.

Sincere Regards

Here is the copy of the passport she gave me:

Hi Jayne. I am interested in renting a room in your apartment, but I want to see inside the apartment with my own eyes, then your solicitor can go ahead and start to do the paperwork.

As I said before I will be able to make payment in 3 weeks time ( and move in a week later), given that I have seen inside the apartment first. My friend is similar.

Regards,
ronin

I would have really loved you to come over to view the place in person when i get back but i'm very sorry the place would have been taken by then because i have so many others who are really interested in the place. I knew quite well that i would not be around when someone wants to view the apartment that's why i took a couple of pictures of the apartment so that i could show it to anybody who is interested in taking the place. And i'm assuring you that the place looks exactly as it looks in the pictures and you will really enjoy your stay there. I'll be willing to send you a scanned copy of my passport and copy of certificate of ownership of the apartment you willbe paying for so as to prove to you that i truly own the place and so as to assure you that there's nothing to worry about and that you are in safe hands.

So if you really want to secure the room for yourself, I'll like you to inform me asap so that i can instruct my lawyer to prepare the lease in your name.

I'll be looking forward to read from you again soon.

Best Regards,
scammer

Sounds like more of a retard than a scammer

I would like to see the ownership papers then collect the keys to look inside and then with my say-so you can tell your solicitor to go ahead with the paper work.

I was also wondering if there is any other method I can use to pay the deposit for the room.

Cheers,
ronin

Quote:

Even if i forward every necessary document to you,if you do not make your payment i cannot send you the reference number to pick my keys,it is a little bit risky for me,so if you think you cannot make your payment until you get into the room,you are free to get yourself another apartment.

I will like to know your FINAL decision now,so i can know what to know next.

Regards

Quote:

I'm sorry but I cannot send the money off before I have seen the apartment. I do really want to rent it, but at this point I am worried that I will be ripped off. Please send the remaining documentation then I will transfer the payment, but I do not want to send payment through western union, I would prefer to send it as a registered money transfer.

I have an additional request: can you send a photo of yourself holding a placard with your name and the date on it.

Cheers,
ronin

Quote:

what the fuck is that, send you a picture of me holding a placard with my name on it?,for what because you wanna pay a million dollars or what,i'm not forcing you to share my flat with me,its a matter of choice,so fuck off.

Quote:

I do not appreciate your bullshit. If you were legit you would not have any issues with it. Also the following points:
1. You are based in the UK (conveniently) so i can't see you in person.
2. Western Money Union Transfers are not even accepted as payment for ebay purchases.
3. You do not even have a contact in perth to arrange things wrt the room.
4. You are asking for a lot of faith for nothing in return.
5. Whilst it is not a million dollars it is 900 dollars which is a substantial investment for a good faith deposit, so don't get started about it not being a large sum of money.
6. You have not sent any concrete proof that you are in fact who you say you are.

Please pull your head out of your ass and clarify these details.

Cheers,

Quote:

I told you i'm presently in Newzealand,my solicitor is the one handling things on my behalf,i sent you a scanned sopy of my passport,i was trying to forward the certificate of ownership to you when you came up with your unreasonable request for clearification,i cannot be wasting myn time here because i wanna rip of $900 or whatever you are insinuating,i have done all i could to assure you that you are in safe hands,but if you think you re not comfortable,it is not a do or die affair you are free to look for another room elsewhere.

Assuming i had anyone to help in handling things on my behalf i wont have deposited my keys in the first instance.but just to assure sfety that was why i made the move.

There is nothing else to prove to you that you are in safe hands,the easier and faster way for my lawyer to get your payment is throughWestern Union Money Transfer,simply because,he can easily pick up your payment and send you the reference number so you can pick up the keys.

This is where it ends so far.

Funny Ideas for screwing with this scammer are needed.

slim-ov-derby · #6 2008-08-06, 11:20

Thought this would be that type of scam, see them all the time, they're fucking brilliant with their stories, it's only the fact that we know about these scams and how risky wiring money to people is that we don't fall for them. There's tons of people out there not as wise to it that will fall for it.

Love these type of scams.

Ask for the "solicitors" number (her number) and ask to talk to him, that's where the fun really starts.

ronin · #7 2008-08-06, 11:22

I can give the details she gave me, the email of her solicitor and his number if anyone wants em and her email too.

Venom · #8 2008-08-06, 11:25

Thing is, quite a few people will fall for this.

ronin · #9 2008-08-06, 11:28

her email is: jayne_vesnich@yahoo.com.au
his email is: vincent.smith@rocketmail.com
his phone number is: [removed]

Have fun with these

slim-ov-derby · #10 2008-08-06, 11:34

Well to start you could call him up early hours in the morning (that will be sometime around your afternoon say about 1 or 2pm) that's what I always did with my niggers I was baiting. I mean it is time differences and they're "easy to forget" lol.
