Starts like this… the Scam
I posted an ad to rent out my place… I have gotten the exact same email twice now. This is scam – I know this. But this time I am going to play along with it. I have responded to the email and waiting for the reply.
Here is the email I received: I will update this post as I receive more of it.

I do appreciate your response,am very glad and want to thank you for getting back to me,I know that it is very important to know more about someone looking to rent from you,So this is a little bio about me.
About me- I am a friendly 28 year old female who works full time as an occupational Nurse. I am down to earth and easy to get along with. I am very respectful of others’ space and opinions.
My interest in the area is simply because change is needed in everyones life and i am also looking into a different direction,i ve been getting my life back cause of what happened to me here few months ago cause i had this had this break up that really makes me want to give up everything but i am rebuilding my life,so that is one of the reasons of my moving, because i understand that time wait for no one,Paying rent on time will not be a problem as i will also be making the rent fee before the month ends(if you want me to do month to month,and i can also do the lease thing too.),I dont have pet,but i am pet friendly,dont keep late nights too..and am straight.

The sound of music
The crying in the background provides the perfect montage to any writer who wishes to make sense of any idea and turn them into words on the paper or on the computer monitor- not an easy task I must add. If you have children you know exactly what I am talking about? There is no need for me to go further into details and explain how this sounds plays out every night.
You are familiar with the sounds and the music. It is after all harmony for your ears and you are used to it. Any time you are in the same environment for awhile, you get used to it. It is human nature. At three in the morning the noise wakes you up from you sweet dreams. You knew it before you went to sleep few hours ago. The sound of music, the tunes is familiar and most of the time they are echoed for no apparent reason. Although I must say you do try your best to figure out why this song is playing at this time of night or day but to no avail. It does repeat itself over and over again and you know that there is nothing causing for it, you still try to figure it out. “What is wrong?” You ask. “Where does it hurt? Is it your stomach?” You continue with questions and the only answer is more harmony. “Do you want medicine? Does it hurt when I press your legs? Tell me?” There isn’t any stop in your questioning series. You are desperate for an answer. Anything would suffice at this time. You have asked these before many times and you know the answer. Music!
You think that by asking question after question you will get your answer now, any time, perhaps some day –no, not anytime soon. Not until the kid is old enough to say “Damn it dad, I am hungry.” or “I just want to cry so you can hear your favorite music at three in the morning.” After all, isn’t you have become accustomed to your tunes and want more of it
