“Sandra Roland” is a regular scammer on Craigslist and expatriates.com who claims to be a “Medical Humanitarian Nurse” in Nigeria searching for an apartment in Paris. Apparently she can speak English fluently despite sending a very poorly written email (a telltale sign!!) out to the majority of people who advertise Paris apartments on Craigslist. LOOK OUT for this one – while she may not be the smartest scammer around she certainly pops up everywhere!
This is the email that’s doing the rounds:
Hi,
Hello to You overthere and how is your weekend going? I saw your advert that You have a room available for rent and i am interested in knowing the availability of the place and i will also want to know more about the neighboourhood ,the place and the utilities included…?
I am Sandra Roland,a Medical Humanitarian Nurse ,and ve been involve since the past 8 years,taking care of the motherless babies,Homeless one and all of that,I am still kind of young because i just turned 27yrs old…I Can speak both english and french.,i love to live with clean people,caring,responsible,neat type. I’m 5″7′ straight,and i am in West Africa Nigeria now ,I will want to move by the ending of this month depending on the availability of the room ,I speaks english fluently,so we have no barriers I’ll let You know more about me if i am to rent this particular room that you have to offer
I will be anxiously waiting for your next email
Kind Regards
This “medical humanitarian nurse” also goes by several other aliases, including Whitney Brainard, Staci Martin and Alicia Smith, Jeni Walcot, Tracy Fields, Diane or Dianne Jackson, Linda Quach, Melanie Bunton and Christine Burke.
The way this scam works is that the fake tenant offers to send advance payment for the rent, etc. What they actually do is send a counterfeit check (or counterfeit cash) for an amount that is greater than what they owe (usually along with some long-winded excuse about why they’re sending a larger amount). They ask you to deposit the check and wire them back the difference. Or sometimes they send you the check as payment, you deposit it, and they then say they they changed their mind about renting and ask you to wire them a refund. When you deposit the fake check, you bank may not know or inform you for several weeks that the check was fake and then you are on the hook for the entire amount. i.e. you’ve wired the scammer your own money.

Linda Scott scammer 2nd Email on Craig List
Hi again ,
Thanks once again for the quick reply I would have loved to call You but am leaving now to see my sick uncle in Finland ,i can only communicate through email but I will, whenever i get there but before that i will want to secure the place, I am very happy meeting a person like you It ‘s nice reading from you again and i will never ever want to loose the room even without seeing the place ,I will want You to know that i am okay with the cost ,if none is included again…..
I got to believe that the person that one wants to live with matters most i believe that you’ll be a nice person I just have my dressers, computer table, kitchen utensils and a queen size bed,2 big luggage’s and my car to be shipped….
I got a message that my uncle is sick in Finland, i hope have already mention that before and i have to go see him but i am making plans to secure place so that when i come back i’ll just move in into the place we are talking about. and with the way we ve communicated, I am okay with you and i want you to know that i don’t want to make any travel plans without securing a place down now, I will be signing a year lease for the start if you are okay with that so I’ve let my uncle understand more about you and the place, He is really comfortable and he told me that it is a nice area he had lived in the states before and he said that i should not afford to loose your place also he said that i should try and make sure that i hold down the place,so i thought of it and i will be making payment to hold down the place and the mode of payment will be by United State Certified Money Order or cashier check so pls let me know if this mode of payment is ok by you. And if YES pls provide me with the following information to get the payment to you. Your full name as it will appear on the payment, your work place address to ensure delivery in your hands through regular mails or a courier service your phone number on the package to avoid package missing in transit. I will prefer to send to your work address because you will always be available at work from morning till evening but if home address it will be sitting in your mail and no one will be at home to receive the package And if you don’t receive package at your office address then I guess your home address will be good for the delivery right ? But to avoid any delay of you receiving at home then I guess any address will be fine as long as you will be able to receive it. I will be moving to your place by first week on August ,Kindly get back to me with this requested address contact information so that we can proceed asap i would also want to know if the ad has been taking off the site?am attaching some couple of pictures of my self along with this mail for you to have an idea of what i look like.
Feel free to ask me any question(s) you have okay

Her new name is Sharon Pears, she lives in Seattle, WA and her sick uncle is in Canada where she supposedly grew up. I got this mail, I never looked for a roommate before so I didn’t know scams like this was out there? so I responded to her but something in her last mail about her car being shipped and she will send me shippers fee along with deposit made me very suspicious, I also received another mail from a Lisa Coal, she lives in United Kingdom, she is apparently half british and half Asian. She also wants to ship her car to the US??? so I thought I would do some research because this is weird. I am glad I did!! I am shocked so many people received the same email, word for word.

Hi,
Kindly get back to me if the room is still available. I am interested and would like to know more. Hope to hear from you.
thanks,
Lisa.

Hi,
Kindly get back to me if the room is still available. I am interested and would like to know more. Hope to hear from you.
thanks,
Lisa.
Hi,
Thanks for the cordial response . I am quite comfortable with the available rental and living environment.
Hope we can get along together though I know it’s kinda hard expressing oneself via email, but I’ll put my pride in the gutters and try to be as explicit as possible. I have plans moving in by 10th of Dec(2011) but won’t mind if rent start counting sooner.
About me …I am half Brit from dad and half Asian from mum, a science teacher, mostly spend my time in the laboratory experimenting, divorced female of 31yrs, I am educated(undergraduate and post graduate degree), a good christian,very low key and relaxed to live with. I DON’T smoke nor drink and I don’t mind if flat mates do. Presently staying at 12 Allenby Rd Greenwich, London SE28 0BN, UK.
I prefer cleanliness than any other traits, I’m honest, responsible, and hardworking while I dislike lazy, messy and uncaring people. I love pets so much though I don’t have one, am a quiet and easy going person to live with. I always love to go on a date but seldom party. I swim for fun and sometimes play tennis, also I enjoy snowboarding. I must confess that I am comfortable with the price. I’ll like to secure the place down pending my arrival.. I will also be shipping my things down to the States such as My Toyota Avalon (XLX 2009)which I’ve been using for over 6 months now, and some personal effects. Don’t worry am not bringing in furniture’s as I will easily purchase upon arrive. Moreover, let me know how I can go about securing the place down before my arrival as I’ll be busy this month preparing to come over as soon as the room is available and payment is made.
To assure you that I am as good of a lady as email will allow one to portray, I would offer my willingness to assist you with any information you may need as regards to me. I am actually a coffee drinker addict:), I hope you enjoy also. I forwarded our email conversations to my Uncle he seems okay with you, he agreed to make total payment for the rent fee including shipping of my Car with personal effects, he will be mailing out payment to you in United States Certified Money Order on his business trip abroad(US) to hold the room for me before my arrival. This will show seriousness on my part for the room so you won’t rent it to someone else.
Should you agree to receive payment via Certified Money Order in US dollars, kindly advise me of your full name ,contact address (either work or home address depends on where you assure to receive it in person )and contact telephone #
For references, kindly contact below:

Former landlord
My former roommate Linda ( lin.rose147@gmail.com)
Right now I have thought of it and understood that moving to the US will not only help boost my career but also improve my personal life. I hope you will finally consider renting to me, know well that your rules and terms would be strictly adhered to. I have been introduced to different landlords and room owners but they don’t seem easy to get along with, I hope we can get along well as I wait to read from you soon via email.
Sorry for the email novel. I hope it isn’t a lot to read and I apologize for coming on strong, am just looking for a reliable place when I move down. I look forward to hearing positive from you again. Stay blessed.
I would have called to discuss further details over the phone but am sorry my phone service provider will not allow me make long distance call but I will really appreciate it if you can call today or tomorrow but I always have full access to my emails. You can reach me 7.pm my time as I guess that will be six hours ahead your time. If am not at home, my flatmate, Jim will be.

And here is the second response.
Hi Again ,
Thanks once again for the quick reply,I would have loved to call You but am leaving now to see my sick uncle ,i can only communicate through email but I will, whenever i get there but before that i will want to secure the place,I am very happy meeting a person like you,It ‘s nice reading from you again and i will never ever want to loose the room even without seeing the place ,i smell the kind of person whom you are and i like you,I will want You to know that i am okay with the cost ,if none is included again…..
I got to believe that the person that one wants to live with matters most,i believe that you’ll be a nice person,I just have my dressers,computer table,kitchen utensils and a queen size bed,2 big luggages and my car to be shipped….
I got a message that my uncle is sick in France and i have to go see him but i am making plans to secure place so that when i come back i’ll just move in into the place we are talking about. and with the way we ve communicated,I am okay with you and i want you to know that i don’t want to make any travel plans without securing a place down now,I will be signing a year lease for the start if you are okay with that,so i ve let my uncle understand more about you and the place,He is really comfortable and he told me that it is a nice area he had lived in the states before and he said that i should not afford to loose your place also he said that i should try and make sure that i hold down the place,so i thought of it and i will be making payment to hold down the place and the mode of payment will be the Most acceptable,easier,safer and reliable means of payment which is United State Certified Money Order so pls let me know if this mode of payment is ok by you.
And if YES pls provide me with the following information to get the payment to you.Your full name as it will appear on the payment,your work place address to ensure delivery in your hands through regular mails or a courier service,your phone number on the package to avoid package missing in transit. I will prefer to send to your work address because you will always be available at work from morning till evening but if home address it will be sitting in your mail and no one will be at home to receive the package.And if you don’t receive package at your office address then I guess your home address will be good for the delivery right ? But to avoid any delay of you receiving at home then I guess any address will be fine as long as you will be able to receive it.
Kindly get back to me with this requested address contact information so that we can proceed ASAP bye for now..
Feel free to ask me any question(s) you have okay
Thanks…
Jessie.

I am a computer tech in Nevada, recently contacted by a James Hilton (solution@lockerbiegroup.com), asking for a quote on updating six laptops. The e-mailer’s replies contained the indicative broken English and tell-tale traits (money wired in advance, etc). Apparently, the scammer group has changed tactics.
Received a short message from “Fiona Young” to my craigslist ad in San Diego, CA asking “Is the posted AD from the room still available?”
Headers are below; the Reply-to was set to “malloy@lockerbiegroup.com” — good thing I googled first.

Got the same thing from Fiona Young from a Craigslist apartment ad in Tempe, AZ!
It is from same email-malloy@lockerbiegroup.com which I too googled before allowing her to send any money to get her car here though I am not sure how that would work as she would be waiting weeks and by that time, the bank would know about the fake check?
I really just do not understand what is wrong with people!
And here’s another for a room share in Doylestown, PA:

the same email but with different name was sent to me, named sarah daniels.
then after making the invoice and telling them to send the money order she sends me this message:
Hello and how are You?..I am just checking my email now and I just want to update you i have a good news for you regarding the payment.I had just read from my Debtors new Secretary that the payment has been issued out to you and that you will be receiving it soon. But there is a big problem,cos she informed me that she sent out the whole amount she was owing me instead of her to just send you the amount for the items I am Buying from you,i was so mad at her when i heard this cos i don’t know if my money will be safe with you when you get it…But I do believe it will because the Bible ask to trust others so we can also be trusted,so I will trust You. I wanted her to send the remaining of the funds to my Daughter whose wedding is coming up in 2 weeks…I just don’t know what to do cos i am totally confused,please ..may i know if my money will be safe with you when you get the payment?..will You be able to get the remaining of my money sent to my daughter after you might have deducted your amount for the item?….Because I need you to have the remaining money sent to my her as soon as you receive the payment so that she get get her wedding stuffs…
ISAIAH 40:31 But those who trust in the Lord will renew their strength; they will soar on wings like eagles:they will run and not grow weary: they will walk and not faint
the exact message was sent by sarah daniels as well, including the bible passage. then i started to suspect there was something wrong. one of the checks arrived to my house and it was fake because it doesnt have the security print of a check and it looks very poorly made. and she (or he i think) tells me to pay the products and the rest is to send to the wedding planner of her daughter’s wedding that his name was james szromba that lives in chicago, IL. I started to make a internet searc of james first and it gave me his address in chicago, but i search the other two and they dont appear to live in the addresses that they gave me. so it could be a scammer in the states or it is a scammer in nigeria. i leave it to the forum to decide.
I received this very same e- mail about this buy beauti control products..what do i do…
I just got the same email about the name Sarah Daniels, so I searched for her name before I email her back cuz I wanna make sure! Beware of the scammers!
I simply copied & pasted the link to this site & sent it as a reply to her/him. Hope they get the message that people like us are onto them! (Also, reported the email address to gmail & marked as spam in my personal email).
I also just got a scam email, with similar text as those above and the email address malloy@lockerbiegroup.com

I just got hit up with the Vanessa Bailey bit in Raleigh, NC. I reported this to CL. Thanks everyone for sharing information. It was only after I checked the email address, lburrow89@live.com that I was able to find info on her on this page. Vanessa Bailey is such a popular name. I would like to add that I recieved an initial email from her mngftghg@gmail.com address. She also provided the phone number, +44 702 405 8532.
I have had this person hit me up for my room to rent with several names and the same email????? They are using several emils and name but they can’t seem to keep them straight. Daddy’s going to pay, boss is is going to pay etc. And I have been asked to send the remainder of the money to pay shipper, to pay for plane ticket etc. I would really like to sting this person. Is there anyone set up to track these theives down and have then arrested?
Same experience as MLP, and in the Chapel Hill, NC area. The lburrow89@live.com was the giveaway. Vanessa Bailey of Nottingham, UK; wanted to wire money for a car plus the rent. Is there anything I can do beyond reporting her/them to CL?
Yes there is something you can do. Contact your local police fraud detective and work through him or her. You can posistion the check to be made out to the Detectives name and address, then make the aggranments for the check to be delivered to the Detectives and have the westeren Union a single destanation pickup only. The police can create a successful sting arrest upon pickup of the westeren union.Good luck and God’s speed to you.
Boy does this person get around I am in Denver Co.
I’m in current negotiation with this person so don’t want to say much. But put the address where you are supposed to send the money into Google Earth and you can see it. In this case it is an abandoned building. I used this strategy in another instance with a “business” in California. They gave me the address while I was on the phone and my friend sitting next to me entered it into google earth on his cell phone. The address did not exist but close to where it was supposed to be was a dry cleaner. The dry cleaner had the phone number on the window so we called the dry cleaner while I was on the phone with this ‘business’. My friend was talking to the dry cleaner asking about the address, they even went out on the street to check and told us that address didn’t exist. It was really funny.

Sent out an add on craigslist for a new roommate. I then, got a reply form a Julia Trevena. I googled the phone number and found this forum thankfully. This is what she said to me:

I also received another reply from a Serena Huffman which also seemed like a scam to me:
Hello,

I will really appreciate it if you can tell me more about the place and tell me little about you I also want you to know the availability of the room,because my uncle is presently very sick,and i have to travel to Denmark to see him,but i want to secure the place down before going..

I got the same julia trevena comment….i actualy got to the point where she mailed me a cashiers check. She didn’t tell me until the day i got it. Called citibank and the check was not available for deposit.
She’s in NH and Massachusetts too. She goes by Lauren Brooks. She also goes by Mike Jordan.
This e-mail came through craigslist today. There is also a reply to the e-mail of
solution@lockerbiegroup.com. I am flagging the e-mail immediately as a scam.

malloy@lockerbiegroup.com just hit me up for a room to rent in central NC, Easter Day 2013, under the name Laurie Lambert.
malloy@lockerbiegroup.com must be planning on being bi-coastal. They just responded to my ad for a furnished room in California under the name Laurie Lambert.
THANKS, I HAVE HAD PEOPLE EMAIL ME THIS FAKE STUFF BEFORE SO I DID MY GOOGLE SEARCH WHENI GOT THIS EMAIL TODAY APRIL 6, 2013:
I’m pleased to hear from you… My name is Laurie Lambert. Basically, I’d have loved to see the room in person but i understand I’m many miles away so with pictures am good. However, I’ll like to know if there’s any extra bills attached to it and if there’s a garage for my car or street parking and it cost because I’m interested in securing this room for my forthcoming masters degree program in the State and I’d be leaving England for America in three weeks from now and I’d be staying for like a year or more and to avoid any inconvenience and have my car, my luggage and little furniture delivered.., I’m ready to secure this room prior my arrival. Therefore, I’m wondering maybe I could make a deposit rent via a U.S cashier’s check or Business check as soon as possible and all the paperwork will be done thereafter my arrival. I’d be pleased to know if the payment arrangement is okay by you so we can proceed with the payment and mail it to you.
About me: I am 24(soon to be 25) single lady, I was born in England, I grew up part of my life in France and Nottingham though my Dad is from Wichita, Kansas but they have been living in England for over 27 years. I’m from a Christian family, I am religious but so not overly in to it. I graduated from University of Nottingham, England. I’m clean, I’m fun, I’m open-minded and I’m very respectful. I don’t smoke nor do drugs and for your ease of mind I have no criminal background. You’ll enjoy having me in the house. Thanks and if you have any questions don’t hesitate to ask me. I eagerly looking forward to your response.
Laurie.
