I just got this email today from my apartment listing on craigslist. If you don't find this email fishy, you need to check in with the nearest scam victim help center because you are a noob in life.

No normal person writes like this. First of all, there's no consistency of capitalization and spacing. And second, even if English is her second language or even the third, the way she expresses herself is almost like a mail-order bride from Russia, that's it: exaggeration. Whatever she says even with the right grammar don't make sense because of the context. What's amazing is there are people who actually got scammed by her for $2500.

A little googling will also show that she also goes by the name Nicole Wayne misspavez00@aol.com.
