If you can't afford to pay for your phone, how can you pay rent? Are you really a doctor? What is going on?

Hello
I am happy to hear from you , Thanks so much for your prompt response..I am very happy for your reply i am a doctor and i just got my phone to be worked on so i dont see any reason why u should worry about the payment of the room ok.......

For the payment that is not a problem at all....Because my boss will be highly responsible for all the expenses of the payment all i have to do is to confirm the amount of the room including the utilities and then get it sent to him including the informations in which the payment will be issued to..

So all i require of you is for you to send me the total amount for a month because i will be paying for that for now,because i am thinking of staying in the state for up to a year so what is going to be happening is that i will be paying for a month in advance for now so that when i get
to there,i will now get to balance up the rest of my rental allowances.

But if you think your room is not available until a whole year,it is not a problem okay all i just need to do is for me to look for another place after which the time you need me in your house expire.And if you think you will allow my stay in your place up to the period,i will indeed appreciate it alot.

So if you are so sure that all i have said to you are now understandable ,then i want you to get back to me with the AMOUNT FOR ONE MONTH AND UTILITIES,and i will also want you to provide to me YOUR FULL NAME ,ADDRESS AND PHONE NUMBERS so that i can forward it to my boss because my boss will be paying you in advance since both my flight and some other things are
included in the payment,so all you have to do is that as soon as you receive the payment(Check) you will deduct your rent fee and the utilities from it and then get back the rest to my flight agent.
Best regards Juliet

Hi Juliet,

Oh if you are a real doctor, then there is no problem. You do not have to pay until you get here. There will be a nice room waiting for you.

Your first and last months rent comes to $990. We do not ask for a deposit or a cleaning fee because we trust you to leave the house—and specifically your room—in the shape it is in.

We also have security cameras in the house. They are hidden behind all the photos in your room. When you are out you can turn these cameras on so that you can see anyone who comes into your room.

I can override this switch and turn the cameras on from my secret room in the attic (shhhh) but I would never do this while you are dressing or undressing. Or even sleeping.

By the way do you wear PJs when you sleep or do you zonk-out in the buff? I sleep naked except for a skull cap. It has a silver propeller on it.

The code for the camera is R#=009. To turn it off simply hit Alarm Off. We will show you how to do this.

Do you need someone to pick you up from the airport? Any time day or night we can arrange for that.

What day will you be coming?

Do you like pickles? One of the renters makes pickles in the backyard in the underground cave we call the pickle den.

Sorry I'm so chatty, it's just that I/we think you'd be perfect. We are most excited !!!

Oh, do you have a photo so we can see what you look like when you arrive? Sometimes when people come to the airport and we pick them up, we can't find them. So

when you get off the plane could you wave a big transparent balloon?

cheers,

jaron

Dear Juliet,

Hi, we require $990. That is first and last month's rent. The utilities is about $75 and includes everything such as cable tv and wifi. But as I said, just tell us when you are coming. No need to pay in advance. I have no idea what a flight agent is. Sounds like some kind of a thief.

I googled "flight agent" — it says they are scammers. Stay away from such evil people. They'll screw you over. You can pay by check or cash when you arrive. When you move in you can decide how long you want to stay. No cleaning fee or damage deposit —we trust most people.

Now I have to ask you two questions? Have you ever been in jail or had gonorrhea?

Respectfully,

***********

nope to ur both question i mean that u will send the money to me as soon as u cash the check so that i can make payment for the rest of things needed and i will like to move end of march or april 1 ok so will u cash the check

***********

Hey Doc,

It is our policy not to send money through the mails. Too dangerous. It is not that we don't trust you, it's just that we can't take a chance.

 My great grandfather was scammed out of almost six million dollars, reducing his estate by 80 per cent. Some gal claimed she wanted to marry him and at that time he was in a rest home.

Great grandmother made me promise never to send money through the mails after I took over check writing duties. So the only way to do business with me is to meet in person. Sorry.

How about I wire you the money to fly here, then when you get to Edmonton we will pick you up and take you to the house. Then you can decide if you want to stay with

the others, mostly grad students. If you decide to, then put the check you have in a local bank in your name and write me a check for the first and last month's rent.

Would that work for you? I do not think you want to deal with third parties. Too treacherous.

Juliet,

I got the money for your flight and was going to take it to Western Union this morning. We were all looking forward to meeting you.

I checked your address and realized you had sent me your photo. I clicked on it and there you were—you nasty, nasty PIG!!! I am really mad. You dirty bitch.

You are not anyone named Juliet. I know exactly who you are. Cleo VanDose. Yes, you have colored your hair and you have a nose job. And not a very good one at that. What's wrong, running out of money, you fat pig? No one wants to spend time with a hooker, which you must be by now.

Don't play dumb. I have a near perfect memory of you. Five years and six days ago we met in Europe and you gave me the clap. That wrecked my 3rd marriage. You dirty pig. I recognize your tummy. It used to be flatter but now it's puffy. And you are still wearing that bracelet I gave you.

I bought it for you at Monte Carlo after I lost that sixty thousand dollars — as if you don't remember???!!! You stole twelve one-hundred dollar chips, you slime.

Leave me alone, you BITCH!!!!

Go play with yourself.

I HATE YOU.

But the joke is on you, I am going to tell the police where you are if you don't give me my money back. You better give me my money back right now or I will get really mad.

j

ps — you really broke my heart. You really fooled me in New Zealand.

**************

hello dear i dont know what u are talking about i am not who u say i am and i have never met u before i really need the room cos i have to leave here soon so please dont

take me fore the wrong person ok and if i have offended you by sending you a picture of mine then please i am sorry but i am not who u say i am i am juliet wayne ok so get back to me asap
 

**************

Dearest,

I am sorry, so sorry. It's just that ever since I have been released from the institute and forget to take my "happy" pill, that sometimes I become— well a beast.

My wife pointed this out to me the other day when I flew into a rage because she slammed the car door. Please forgive me. (My wife did in spite of the broken clavicle.)

There is something about you I find very calming. Let me say right now that there is no problem sending you the money (and more for the flight) to Edmonton. I am anxious to meet with you and get to know you in many wonderful ways. You should always travel first class.

I don't mind spending a bit more of grampa's fortune or what is left of it.

You know it's times like this I'm glad the old bastard fell off that cliff in Africa when we were hunting —

But this is about us. About now.

I must be truthful — my trust level is at an all time low. I must be able to trust you. I still can't — because you seem so much like that dirty bitch who stole my hundred dollars chips and cost me hundreds of thousands of dollars in New Zealand.

And then seeing that bracelet on your wrist —well, that was just too much for me to deal with. I am easily heart broken and my doctors say I need to build trust before I can get into a long term relationship with anyone.

This does not necessarily mean a
sexual thing because I am old enough to be your father, or at least your brother. Let's not go there.

Let us work on building trust. A part of me thinks you (THE GIRL IN THE PHOTO) gave me a terrible social disease.

Maybe when you said you were a doctor and specialized in AIDS, maybe that was what triggered my fears.

Are you free of disease now? (Sorry to be so blunt but we must be up front with each other.)

If you are the woman you say you are, then you never had gonorrhea. Could you get a certificate to say that you are free of all types of venereal disease? And afterwards, do you mind having Tony examine you?

He is one of my doctors in London. He will give you a complete physical and if necessary draw blood. Before he was my driver, Tony worked for awhile in a Thai "parlor" —so he's very good at what he does. He has a medical degree from New Guinea or some place like that.

Although he cannot practice medicine in GB, he subscribes to all of their medical journals. His neighbors take their small animals to him when they are injured and need to be put down.

He is a true Christian who specializes in toad euthanasia. Crazy I know — but there are a lot of toad lickers in his neck of the country.

Thinking of you a lot.
