I'm looking for a place to stay in Dallas and registered on roommates.com (that site sucks, so don't use it). I get this email. My Scam Sense is tingling all over, but I thought I'd throw it on here just to get thoughts on it.

Hello,

I got your contact email address from roommates.com

My name is Frank Kent. I am 40 years old. I come to the states often
mostly for business purposes because i deal mostly in jewellry. I
supply watches,bracelets,wedding rings and jewellry to stores in the
states and europe.

Infact that is my family business because we are from the United
Kingdom. I bought a house last year in Texas because i love it there
.It is peaceful and with a loving neighbourhood. Unfortunately my
father passed away on the 2nd of September, 2011 and as the only child in
my family i have to go and take care of the family business back in
the UK and i realised that it will be very difficult to supply goods
to my customers again in the United states while am away and it will
definitely cost me a lot to come over to receive payments because they
pay mostly in checks and money orders .So to run the business from
there it will be difficult and will be impossible especially the
aspect of payment and i dont also want to loose my customers there,
So what i intend doing is that i am looking for some one to stay at my
house free of charge.I dont want to sell the house because i just
bought it.

I am simply looking for someone that is honest and trustworthy and
clean for two reasons 1. to maintain the house when i am away and 2.To
help me receive payments from my clients within the USA on my behalf
in his/her name and have it cashed cos they pay mostly checks and
money orders and have the funds wired to me here in the UK through
money gram transfer/western union
transfer . you dont have to pay me a dimme for the accommodation. its
just for the purpose of keeping my business going on in the United
state.and if you wanna keep this assignment as a job let me know so i
can allocate 10% on each payment that you receive that is if at all,
you dont wanna live in the house or if you are far from the house.

The house is a great one with clean bathrooms,walk in closet,A gym
,All rooms and living room furnished with electronics and very close
to any means of transportation .If you are interested in handling my
business in the state and keeping the house neat,send me an email

please send me your:
Full name:
Contact Address:
Phone number:

Thanks,
FRANK KENT

He's going to send you a bad check and ask you to wire him the money. By the time the check comes back as fake he'll be long gone. There is no house.

Dead relative? Check
Needs to have you receive checks? Check

The surprise buttsechs at midnight each night of your stay will make this a very expensive proposition.

Sounds like a one way trip to a basement with a ball and gag ready for you.

Glanced over it, saw references to being out of country, death in family, and western union. Classic scam tags.

The english is not right for someone born in the UK. It's got scam written all over it.

Whitepages.com no Frank Kent found in Dallas, Tx. At least he could have used a name and age of someone who actually lives there. Some people suck at being scam artists. Clark Kent lives there though, maybe you could stay with him.

Scam, scam, scam scam!

Either there is no house or there is a house that is unoccupied and you will be arrested to fraud and squatting or trespassing or whatever would apply.

This happened to my mom, she put her house on the market and some guy posted a craigslist ad about how he was renting it.

About a dozen people sent him deposits for her house.

Yup it is a scam and you could wind up in some type of money laundering operation.

His name is Frank. That's almost as bad as Steve or Fred (albeit not quite as bad as Chester). You're going to give him something whether you want to or not.
