@ Bri, I'm in the same boat of you.  I didn't find this until after she got my money. Now I'm out $882 (+$40 transfer fee!) and no one to sublet my room.  
@Lili  Word for word that is EXACTLY what I got too.  

Have you all filed fraud/criminal reports?  I have with my local police station, (Halifax, NS).  if not, you should.  Especially if she's still active, people need to be warned.  More needs to be done so this will stop.

Perhaps if we share what we know about "her"?  She had me wire money via Western Union to the "mover's headquarters" in Paris.  A guy named Danny Ragers.  
I called Western Union and they were able to find out the money was picked up at Kin Change, a Western Union agent in Paris.  They apparently have his International ID card number and address.  
I filed a police report last Friday but haven't heard back with any new info.

When she scammed me she was using...
this phone number: 360-589-5946
this email: aysaralee00@gmail.com

@ Daniel,

I was wonder if you knew any more information about Danny Rages? I am looking into subleting housing right now and the owner is using that name and the same instructions to wire money via "western union" in Paris Danny Ragers. I haven't given my money or any personal information. I want to be sure I am not going to be scammed. If you have any information concerning this name or person please let me know.

It is a scam.  Don't wire money.  I have submitted a fraud claim and the local authorities are looking into it now.  I don't know anything about "Danny Ragers" other than if you send money to him thinking you will be repaid, you won't be.

I got the same email too. I was lucky that I got a scam alert email a day before, so I am aware of these kind of email.

I just got a txt from 973 559 7258 looking for details on my rental , which was fishy since the details are in the ad. She asked me to send an email with details to aysaralee00@gmail.com. I thought is was odd so I googled the email address and found these posts. Glad I did. So she's still at it and using a new number. Beware

got the same response from two different numbers and names:
1) Sara
e-mail aysaralee00@gmail.com
phone number (973) 559-7258
2) e-mail: laurapirlo85@gmail.com
phone number (214) 612-0268
via text in the middle of the night regarding about the kijiji ad.

I'm glad I found this site. Did not lose any money, as I kept replying that I needed more information and references from her to be able to rent her a room. I did give my address so she could check with her movers for a moving quote. I don't think that she can do anything with my address/cell no./email address, it is on kijiji anyways. BTW, she said she was going to work for WestJet, lol. Did not get any calls from her yet, ill see how far she goes to reach me again. I'm a Property Manager renting various properties and strongly suggest that you deal with LOCAL-meet in person kind of replies, and once you have made contact and exchanged a couple of emails, request "call for more information and to set up a viewing" that usually stops there, and no more emails.  It also goes the other way, people are scared of scams when renting a room as well.

Thanks for your response, let me introduce myself.. I am Sara 25 year nonsmoker lady coming to Canada. I work as chef on cruise ship at the moment and I have limited time to surf the internet and also phone call is also strictly limited due to the nature of my job, but  I will still find a chance to call you. I will like to know the total cost covering my first three months’ rent together with deposit. I will also like you to get back to me with some picture and your postal code address for me to forward it to my mover to calculate the total cost of moving my stuffs to Canada.

Hi Folks,

Just wanted to share with you that I received a text on the 5th of June 204 in response to a room for rent in Ottawa, Canada from (850) 366-6910 asking me to forward details about the room to aysaralee4@gmail.com. This was odd because the details of the room were in the ad where my number was listed, implying she already had the information she needed.

Subsequently, I emailed a link to the add and asked her to follow up if she was interested. To this, I received the following, including a picture of an asian woman:

So, thanks to the previous posters for confirming my suspicions. Hopefully this information will be helpful to other diligent renters.

Just got the same text from 850-366-6910 and aysaralee5@gmail.com

Many thanks for getting back to me again. I am a very neat and tidy person that respect humanity and this make it so easy for me to get along with whoever that comes my way in life.I'm originally from Singapore but will be coming to Canada from my last place of employment in France. I will be arriving on 20th of September  and stay more than a year in Canada working. I will be transferring the rent to you through PayPal and if you do not have one kindly set up an account with them in less than 5 minutes on www.paypal.com. I would have requested for your bank details but for the safety of you and I with giving bank details online, I prefer going through PayPal. I will be so happy to secure the room as soon as you get back to me with the PayPal name and email. I will like to pay in advance through PayPal and my reason is that, I will be presenting the proof of my rent payment to the immigration at the port of entry into Canada.

I'm about to make the Payment now and something just came up ,I need a kind favor from you and i will be happy if you can sort it out for me. I was just about to pay when I received an email from my shipping agent, my shipping agent says i will need to pay for the moving before they can ship my items, they charge me $882.00  for pick up and delivery and payment for pick up will be made to the  headquarters in France. The payment will be made via moneygram money transfer. I will add $882.00  to my rent deposit making $2,282.00  in total  which you will kindly help me to send the excess $882 CAD to their  headquarters in France.I will send the funds through PayPal and email you to let you know when i am done with the transfer. The money transfer to the shipping agent can be done by visiting any  moneygram   outlet in the post office. I have also included $100.00 for the transfer charges. I would have done it myself but I can't because I'm still presently on cruise, I will appreciate your kindness regarding this.

Hi I got the same messages and I am so happy I found this site in time.  I was very puzzled from the beginning.
This person even sent me flight information with dates of arrival etc.  She almost had me - that Sara Lee.  be careful out there folks.

the last email she used is psaralee005@gmail.com

This "Sarah Lee" is still at it. The exact email was forwarded to my husband and I, we were very disturbed to no there is such low life, pieces of [***] out there that can't make their money the honest way. Never got a cent from us but it still upset us.

I got the exact same response from saramyeo2@gmail.com

Cheers
