Wow, I posted an ad on craigslist for a roomate and within 24 hours, I had received a response from the same person. She said her name is Mariam Helen. I did a search on this name and came up with no results. Also, she stated she was a pediatric nurse and a makeup artist on the side. In her second email, she stated she was a Social Worker.... so which is it? That was my first red flag, aside from the broken English. I'm glad I didn't respond with more information about myself! What is the point in this? All she has done is waste my time and get me psyched up about having a much needed roommate! UGHHH

I am completely fed up with all these scams... does anyone know how we can put a stop to this?

Thanks for any insight.
