Hi Jeffray,
The answers to your questions:
xxxx val ave, Bronx ny 10457
Rent is 1650 (gas and heat are included, electricity is not)
Move in costs: first month rent + security deposit of 1650.
Property is available immediately.
Its brand new construction on a previously empty lot and you would potentially be the first tenant. It has hardwood floors except for in the bedrooms. A skylight and new appliances. The kitchen is spacious and there is loads of storage space I belive there are 6 closets.
Property is a unit in my 2 family home. My family occupies the first 2 floors the unit for rent is on the third floor. Let me know if there are any other details you would like.

My response to the scammer with KRS Insurance in the UK...
Good day Tom,
I apologize for not sending the additional photos yesterday. I got terribly busy with work; I weekends in a restaurant and weekdays in an office, and of course I do property management in the evenings; so, in total I have three jobs... its absolutely insane. So I am sorry for not getting back to you yesterday as promised.
I'm glad that you like the apartment. In order to proceed, I will need your application, I will send that document via fax to the number you provided. Please return it along with the discussed fee for the tenant verification screening. The screening covers employment, credit and criminal history. Please be sure to use your legal name and address on the application so we can proceed with this scam. Per your request, I will include my full name, address and personal information on the fax, so that we can expedite the process. Perhaps when we complete this transaction, I can interest you in another business deal? I'll have my business team call you; in fact I just emailed your info to my team - they look forward to dealing with people like you! I'm sure you've heard of them; they are well known in slimy circles like yours... they'll be in touch.
Good day TOM.

I received the same email yesterday. Did anyone go to the Police? Did anyone send a check? what did you do when you found out it was a scam?
Our person was Prof Richard Jordan and the furniture company contact was KELVIN WILSON, [CEO] WATERWAY FURNITURE. We found out this was a scam from this blog but let the guy go ahead and send the check. We received an $8500 check via UPS at 7:15am this morning. All he owed us was $1275. We were suppose to send $2850 to the furniture company and keep the rest. The check was from AOL Time Warner in Ohio but came from Florida and it was a Wells Fargo Check. We took the check to the police and they said because the check was from Ohio, it was out of their jurisdiction. So we took it to a Wells Fargo Bank and they said it was a real Wells Fargo check but the numbers were wrong so it wasn't any good. They made a copy of the check for us but kept the original to turn into the bank fraud dept. Prof Richard Jordan emailed us about 5pm and asked why we haven't sent the money to the furniture co and what happened to his money. I replied that the bank said the check was no good and he hasn't reply back.

I received this response to my rental property on Oct 7. I emailed back to him with an application form but not heard him ever since:
Hi
Goodday.I'm highly interested in the rental.I saw the details and i am really interested in it.Does it need any form of renovation?
I work with the united nations development program(UNDP) Cardiff Uk and i just got a transfer that is bringing me down to Sacramento California in the states.I would be coming with my wife.I do not smoke neither do i keep pets.
I would be in the states in 2 weeks time and would want to rent for a year.I would also be paying for the whole year in one lump as soon as i get there so you might not have to bother yourself with a credit check except you have to.I would also bring all proof of employment(letter of employment and letter of transfer)when i get to the states.
I will like you it off further advertisment.Please get back to me if it's is still available so that we can make further arrangements.
I sincerely look forward to hear from you.

and I got another email from our "British friend":
Good day Sir/ Madam,
My name is Natal Blige; I am 24 years of age and a citizen of the United Kingdom and will be relocating for a short period of two years on a research programme to the United States . As I was reviewing rental adverts, I got particularly interested in your property, I would like you to email me pictures, and I would also like to know the exact fees to be paid monthly and the security deposit in order for me to pass information to my sponsors.
Thanks for your assistance.
Cheers
Here's one we just got. Guess its Eng. Frank now. I even emailed the poor lady he is using as a reference to warn her.
Hello ,
Thanks for your mail, I will be willing to offer you 2months rent to start with plus the security deposit in order to secure this unit prior to my arrival.
I am an Engineer by profession and I am currently working with Wessex Survey & Design Ltd UK. I will be coming to the state for the next one year and during my stay, I will be working with Black & Veatch Engineering Limited, a leading global engineering, consulting and construction company specializing in infrastructure development in energy, water, telecommunications, management consulting, federal and environmental markets.
I have a financier that is based in the States and he will be handling the rent deposit payment on my behalf, I will instruct him to send you a Certified Check for this as soon as you give me the go ahead to make out payment to you. Due to the limited time that we have before our arrival, we are making arrangements with a furniture company to supply the home with furnitures,so we will need you to provide us with the the following:
# Measurements of the living room and bedroom.
# Picture viewing the living room and the bed rooms.
# As regards the lease agreement and application, I want you to send it to me for my review. I will eventually have it filled and signed on my arrival in your place as I am of the opinion that such documents are best filled and signed physically. We can start the lease by November 15th and I will be doing a one year lease. You can prepare the lease in my name.
I will look forward to your e mail with the required information.
Thanks and sincere regards from me and my precious family. I await your urgent response.

"Sure, Titus! While I'm at it, I might as well send you my bank accounts number and password and oh, also my retirement accounts number and access codes!!
Your email has been forwarded to the FBI, Google, and Craiglist and other websites and bloggers' sites dedicated to scum bag scammers like you!!

Allan Sharp

asharp75@gmail.com
The scammers that have contacted me have identified themselves as UK residents in the process of being relocated by their employers KMG Insurance, KPG Insurance, AFG Insurance, in order to open an office in the US. They have also said that they have contracted with an interior designer to set up the apartment -- they request to include the designers fee with the rental deposit so that I can pay the contracted designer on behalf of the renter... very elaborate, and very suspect. Follow your gut.
Thanks for posting this blog. I googled the company name and found out what I needed about this scam.

WATCH OUT FOR PROF RICHARD JORDAN:
----------
Hello
Many thanks to your prompt response and brief details on this unit. I am indeed a potential tenant and serious about renting this unit. Having discovered lots of Dinosaurs fossil such as Dinosaurs Megalosaurus ,Oviraptor, Pinacosaurus, Saurornithoides, Velociraptor, plesiosaur, Ichthyosaurus etc. Am coming to state to Trade those fossils with some US Museums.
In view of my work schedule, i would want us to finalize basic arrangements. I'm and i am currently working with United Kingdom Fossil hunters Imperial Dinosaur Fossil Research Amsterdam, Uk. I will be in the states for the next one year with my wife and five year old daughter and during my stay i will be Trading dinosaur fossils with Some USA Museums and Research with some America Palentologist on fossils hunting and field work. Am willing to offer you 1 month rent + the security deposit and utilities if any to secure this unit prior to my arrival to state, and on my arrival, I'll pay for the 11 months fees in Cash. My Trustee in the states will be the one to handle the Move in fee, and we will instruct him to send you the check for this as soon as you give us the go ahead to make payment to you. Due to the limited time that we have before our arrival, we are making arrangements with a furniture company there in state to supply the home with some befitting furnitures.
We can start the lease at your earliest convenient time and we will be effecting a one year lease although, we will be arriving on 4th of Jan 2009. You can prepare the lease in me and my wife name "Prof. Richard Jordan & Mrs Glynnis Jordan.
Once again, thanks for the informations and the price that you sent to me, it will indeed be of great help to determine the quantity of Furnitures that my furnitures company will supply to the unit... As regards my furniture, am planning on having them delivered to the house before our arrival so that we can settle in comfortably, you can understand that transporting furnitures across Atlantic is not easy, so we are making arrangement with the furniture company there in State to deliver the furnitures before our arrival after the rent and security deposit has been fully paid to you by my Trustee. I want to seek your indulgence and favor. Can we rely on you to take delivery of those furnitures for us when they are delivered? We will instruct the furniture company to contact you to schedule a delivery date and time that will be convenient for you to receive those furnitures for us. As you will be handling the delivery of those furnitures for us,we may ask our Trustee to include the costs of our furnitures with the rent and deposit to be sent to you so that you can help us to make the payment to them when it is delivered. We will really appreciate if you can do this for us and promise to compensate you adequately for your time and efforts on our arrival in your place.
Please let me know if this will be okay with you so that i can instruct our Trustee to go ahead with the payment.
Let us know how to move ahead as we intend to complete this deal before we move in by 4th of Jan 2009, we will let you know the exact date as soon as we get a booking on a flight to the states. I want a less risk, fair,transparent and a hitch free transaction .
If you require any specific information, please let me know or you can call me on my cell phone, please dial as presented for international calls . {+447024017688 or +447031978953 }
P.S: Forward the lease agreement/application form to Review it ahead of time. I would eventually have it signed physically when i arrive. In my opinion, appending signatories should be done properly and at best physically. Please, send me a picture view of the living room and bed rooms only if that will not take time to do. This is an international situation and am not sure how you can run my employment and Credit check background, there's no way we can go about this until i arrive to state, hope you understand my concern.
With this arrangement, my Trustee in the states,will be effecting your payment deposit to you. I believe we can work together and ensure every arrangements that we shall both execute in line with my taking up the tenancy should be done accordingly to ensure we have a proper understanding.
For Payment, Get back with the below details
1- Name to be written on the certified check
2- Mailing address , No p.o.box
3- Phone Number
4- City
5- Zip Code
6- State

ditto, my wife and I just got this as well.
Just received one of these too, I even checked out the references, they bounced, and then were sent by a different address, to vouch for the guy. I checked on his place of work, and the company mentioned in the UK for the potential renter, wrote me back to confirm the guy never worked for them. It definately sounds convincing, but the grammar is way off, which should be awarning! Here is the email I received on a rental property:
I want the 12 month lease to start on the 22 of January 2009, All applications and lease will be signed as soon as I arrive.

I received an Email from Mr. Pradia Moore in the UK with the same wording as the others. Thanks for the heads up.
Got this email back when I emailed him about a van listed on Craigslist. Way to good to be true, the value on this van is over 16K.
Hello,
Thank you for your interest in my car. This is a 2005 Honda Odyssey EX with 28,225 miles, garage kept. Non-smoker & no pets. Well maintained. Fully loaded w/RES&voice activated NAV. Navi has latest v4.62 software. Stereo, A/C, nav/res can be controlled from the steering wheel. RES has 2-pair of wireless headphones. Passengers can watch movies or listen to their music, while driver listens to different music source. Back-up camera w/display on nav screen. Front/rear parking sensors. Very clean interior. Power everything.
VIN# : 5FNRL38445B006268.
Here you can find more pictures of the car: http://s430.photobucket.com/albums/qq27/OdysseyEX2005/
(if the above link does not work copy and paste it into a new web browser window)
It has never been involved in an accident.The engine starts and drives like new and the paint looks great. It comes with US clear title which will be signed and notorized in the buyer's name. I'm an US Air Force SSgt. currently stationed in United Kingdom.The car is here with me. It was bought in the US and shipped to Europe, but it was never permanently registered here, the car is still registered in the US.The car is for sale locally as well, but there are slim chances of this to happen. In order to be able to register this car here in UK the buyer would have to pay very high import/custom taxes that will double the price. So I decided to sell the car back in the US.
The final price is $4,850.00 including shipping from UK to the US and delivery to your home address.
So if you decide to buy this car or need further information please get back to me as soon as possible.
Thank you and have a great day

Oh my god, we also got similiar email from a Dave Shoemake with KRS company, relocating from UK to US. We also got an email back from a Dr Joseph Williams, vouching for the guy. The guy sent us a check of $7500 for the rent and deposit and want us to wire transfer the remaining to his interior decorator.
He gave us a phony address for the interior decorator in Florida. Good thing we google the address and couldn't find it on either Google Map nor Mapquest. We sent him an email asking whether the address is correct and the phone number of the interior decorator. His responses have been very vague and didn't give us the phone number of the interior decorator.
So, we just google'd his email address and came to this post. THANK YOU everyone for posting this information. We could have lost money and other prospective tenants by believing this guy.
His original email is very similar to everyone else. So, I post email related to his request to wire transfer the remaining amount to his interior decorator here.
------------------
Hello
I'll like you to deduct your money from the $7,500 and send the
remaining to my decorator.As you know that my move in date is around
the corner and he needs to start working immediately.
So please go to the nearest western union money transfer or money
gram outlet close to you and send the balance to the below details.
You'll deduct your money from the $7,500 and also deduct the transfer
charges.
I'll have my decorator contact you immediately so he can make all
necessary arrangements on how to get entrance into the property so he
can start work immediately. Its very important you make the transfer
tomorrow so i can get there as scheduled.Looking forward to meeting
you soon,
Marco Izquierdo

Cape Coral, Florida 33904
You will need to deduct the transfer charges from the amount you want
to transfer ,I want everything to get clear to you so is the reason
why am repeating it you .As soon as you get transfer done,please
kindly get back to me with the following transfer information,
REFERENCE NUMBER IF MONEY GRAM (8 DIGITS)
SENDER'S FULL NAME & ADDRESS
AMOUNT SENT AFTER TRANSFER CHARGES
TRANSFER CHARGES
Thanks

When I did not rent him my first property, he went for a second one that we have, and used the exact same form letter as above, except he changed the numbers to fit the new rent value. We actually called him since we were suspicious even before we got the above email, and he could not even speak English, which was obviously strange given he was supposed to be English.
WOW!!WOW I am in the process of being scammed by Prof.Richard Jordan and his ugly Wife glyniss (he sent a pic of them) supposedly there is a "Check or Money order" on its way to my house in my name....To pay a balance he owes on some furniture!!!Its too bad that my Mom is a Paralegal and Married an FBI agent in 2004..I am actually in the process of going along with it..from what I know now..the first thing is to establish an IP address and from there the SERIOUS investigation starts!!!!!!This guy's goin down!!I promise!!i will keep everyone posted!!!
I got the same exact email for the apartment I am renting! I was going to write him back at first but I'm glad I researched this first! Has anyone been able to report this guy??
Wow, so glad this site exists. I got the same email on 4/23/09, in regards to a rental house. Seemed fishy, googled the UK insurance company name they had given me and came up with this site. Same language, same bad grammar. Thanks for creating this site.
--Cynthia in Seattle
Well, I guess they are trying to get me as well. The email is almost identical as some on this site. What are they tring to do though. They are not asking for an acct number, just basic public information, name, address etc.
I found this site by searching their employers name MMH Insurance Group, they are listing their name as merylin anderson [merylinanderson2@gmail.com]
Thank you very much I have sent about three emails to this person, so called person. Thanks again!
Steve Houston TX
Thank you so much for organizing this site. I had someone contact me and came across your site through "googling" his name and lo and behold:
Hello,
My name is Gideon Cole, I am a freelance researcher who reside in
United Kingdom.I just resigned my job as a research scientist for
IFR(Institute of Food Research) but i still work as a freelance
consultant for the institute which gives me very much time to do my
own work which is basically being a freelance researcher who could be
employed by research institutes to do research projects anywhere in
the world.
Presently, I have just been granted a funding to head a research
project in the tropical regions of Asia regarding rare and vulnerable
plant species and this would be commencing very soon, However my
findings were by my American counterparts.So i will be staying in the
states for a while before heading to Asia to round up my research.
Please for the fact that i will not be here in the state to check the
apartment,i will like you to feed me with more details about the
properties i.e
1)Details about the property including pictures if available.
2)Monthly rentals/security deposits and also if utilities is added.
3)When will it be available for move in
4)The total to move in i.e total amount i need made available to hold
the property.
I await your reply
I haven't seen these people around for a while. Here is a name I didn't see in the posts-Steve Weller, but it's the same story. The fact that these people ask for information that is already in the ad and don't pick up the phone to call is a BIG hint that's they're not for real!
I got this one today...one year later, this guy is still out there. This was from tomphilips1983@googlemail.com
Hello
how are you doing? thanks for your mail. With regards to the property I am
inquiring about, I will like to get some more details about it, I
am currently in the Uk and I am Relocating down to the US to do a

open an office in the state, so due to my non presence to inspect the
Property, I will like you to give me the below details...

Hi,
I am in Reston, VA, I got the fishy experience as well, i found him in your blogs from a year ago. I think is money laundry, and is also strange that police dont follow up on this things... Any way, for reference, here is my e mail. I recommend just stick to the procedure of requesting application information and verify more than one source on job, landlord and references, it is hard to meet that, also by refusing the management of people's moneys that in any case is a responsibility! Here goes:
Hello,
Thank you very much for your business relationship as regards my willingness to rent your apartment. I will like to informed you that we have the require funds to pay for the rent apartment, i will want you to do a favour?but the problems is that we have forward all our correspondence to our funding associate in USA which is charge in transfering the neccessary funds to you. So they would be sending you a cashier's check of $7250 (which is a relocation grant from my employment and i have decided to use it for the deposit of interior decoration and getting furnitures for the place).
You will then have to deduct an initial deposit of $1800 which is the move in cost) and then forward the lump sum on the check to the interior decorator(who will be responsible for shipping of furnitures, electrical appliances and other personal luggages).
We are sorry for any inconvenices this migth have cause you.If this procedure is okay by you kindly send us the following:

"Craigslist rental scammer Gideon Cole, Shamik Spann, and Joseph William are involved with forged checks"
I received a forged check for $6500 from Gideon Cole who claimed to be a United Kingdom researcher relocating to the United States and he wanted me to send the balance less rent deposits to his decorator, Shamik Spann, in Columbus, S.C. by Western Union. I called the company on the check, Jedec, and they said this is the third landlord who received a forged check issued on their account from Gideon Cole. I wanted him to waste the $23 postage and get the check for evidence. Beware of these three Craigslist scammers-Gideon Cole, Shamik Spann and Joseph William.

Virtually the same text as some others here, so I'm only posting the unique parts (name, employement info and addresses).

Rose Smith is back, rosesmith610@yahoo.com
This time he is trying to get my very expensive socket set. His first two emails were the usual "is it still for sale." I said it is he asks when can he come by to see it. I said what day is good for you, he responds 2 days later.
"Thanks for writing back...but I'm sorry I won't be able to come see it anymore. I just got an emergency message from my company so, i'll be embarking on a 3 month business trip to Chicago tomorrow morning. I was suppose to come over to your town as planned but that got changed. I am still very much interested in the item. I'm getting this for my cousin for his upcoming birthday. I will strongly appreciate it, only if you sell it to me.
I want this to get to him as a surprise thing. I will mail you a payment which will cover the cost of your item and also for shipping to where it will be needed. I'll arrange for a shipper/mover to handle the pick up and delivery so it doesn't stress you. I really need this, quite important and urgent. I will be more than glad if it can be sold to me. Email me back with below information so the check can be mailed to you as soon as possible.
