I have a room listed for rent.
I was contacted by user Easyroommate user: Xiao – 30 – Professional direct to my email address.
This user is at sea, has limited time to communicate & offered to pay bond & rent for 3 months.
Knowing it was a scam, I asked for ID, got a chinese passport.
I have not exchanged any personal account details, knowing it is a scam but will happily play along just to see where it leads.
I googled her email address and found this site which shows same scam/story.
