Her cell phone was no longer available after 5 days. I then sent a registered letter return receipt requested which she did not pick up. When she cashed my check the sheriffs department became involved. When I left late march the attorney generals office came into the picture. Just am wondering how many others have been scammed by this women. Send me a PM and I will return her name.
I'm sorry you were scammed. Why not mention the woman's name and the address of the negotiated rental property? Someone reading this thread may be able to shed some light on the situation.
