She is going by Haley M Williams - SAME STORY (SEE EMAILS BELOW)
Hi, thanks for emailing me, I am looking to rent soon and i think its fair to let you know about me, My name's Haley M Williams, 27y/o single female, self sufficient, easygoing and fun to be around. I do not smoke, drink nor do drugs. I clean up after myself as well as my environment, I am respectful of other people's privacy and opinions. I am pet friendly but do not own any.
I'm from Pierre, S.Dakota and still here, the reason behind my move, is simply because of change. And this is about time as i just lost my mother to cancer (I have been putting off my move just because she's been sick for long). I have been wanting to try a new place,  have new experience, and most importantly achieve my goals. I am a travel Nurse by profession, but teaching yoga is what i love doing, I have broad knowledge of yoga/wellness as i had the opportunity to learn that in India 3 years ago and i have been teaching people here too. I am a christian, Yoga to me is about the purity of the body and mind/improving health and I will never bring it home if you object to it.  About rent, I have money saved up, so you wouldn't have to worry about me paying rent/bills on time till i get settled. I plan making my own yoga video and I also will be looking to rent a space in the area(or maybe gym) when i move, as i planned giving yoga classes to people there when i move. I am financially reliable and it has been a plus making money from teaching yoga as a lot of people look after themselves now in an easy way. I will like to find a place before i start looking around for something physical/permanent at hospitals there too. I choose to tell you all about me as i need no drama, so please email me back if you are looking to rent ASAP and let me know if i am someone you'd like to rent to. I will provide my number, pics and other informations as long as i am sure that you'd be renting to me in next emails. Thanks for your time and i await your next email.

Hi, I am happy to read from you, a person like you is whom i ve been hoping to rent from. I am still here in pierre, I would have loved to see around and meet with you before anything but it w'd be stressful for me to be there and coming back here to finish the things i have left to do, So i guess we have to work something out. I know its not easy to rent without meeting but most people meet somehow and you can be rest assured that i am with good values and we will be meeting before i move in.  And i am just trying to make this work for me and pics of will help. And my pictures are being attached with this email, i just want to secure a place now and start with my moving preparations, So that i can be able to give you a move in date and other information you may require. And if you choose to rent to me, i promise you are not going to regret it, as am reliable. I am financially capable and will never be late on rent/bills, i am open to lease as well as month to month. I'll respect your opinions and rules. I choose there because a former colleague is from there and i have always wanted to visit.
If you choose to rent to me, I want you to know that i have a dresser, computer table, kitchen utensils, bed, luggages and my car that i would love to come with, do let me know what will fit in and what wont. I just bought the toyota camry so its coming. I am looking to move in as soon as possible, my move in date is flexible as it depends on the availability of the rental. I am getting a new cell but i will be emailing you with a phone # in my next email so we can exchange text messages if you have a text plan.

Re: craigslist ad :I googled this e-mail and came up with the phone # for this site. She is now "Haley Williams" from S.Dakota

EVEN AFTER I TOLD THIS PERSON TO NOT CONTACT ME AGAIN AFTER READING ALL THESE POST'S & KNOWING IT'S A SCAM, I EVEN PUT IN MY SPAM FOLDER, I JUST GOT ANOTHER EMAIL:
Hi again, I am glad to have met you and thanks for the sincerity, I believe people do meet somehow, and i feel we will get along very well. So far with the emails we have be exchanging, i am perfectly okay with everything and willing to move ahead with this. If you would like, i could put up in a hotel there for few days when i arrive there for you to see if you'd be comfortable with me and run a check on me. I am sure you would be okay with me.
I am comfortable with you, it also feels like i have known you for long. Before making any moving plans, I would want to secure it now, so i know i have a place to move into. I think its the best thing, so i wouldnt have to worry about finding a place or you renting to someone else.
And after much thought, i think it's best for me to secure the place with a (first month rent or deposit) payment. With that i w'd feel very comfortable knowing fully well that i have a place secured.
My schedule would be packed from next week, so i am just trying to plan everything now. Being here now, i think the most reliable way of making payment is through Certified bank check. So if it is okay by you and you are looking to rent to me, kindly provide me with the following information to get the payment to you:  Your full name as it will appear on the payment, Address ( with apt #) to ensure delivery or P. O box address and best Phone number on the package to avoid package missing in transit.  And i will need an email/text receipt as soon as you get the money. And future monthly rents will be met on time. Please understand that I just want to have firm plans. I know almost everyone does the facebook thing, but i am just not just a fan but if you do want me to open one, I would consider it. Please do provide me with the information needed and feel free to ask me any question(s) you have okay. The number you can text me on till i get my new phone is (605)853-8028. Please note that i will be calling before any plan is made. I can also move in within the next 2 weeks if you let me secure it now.

Thanks again.

Yup, she ALMOST got me too! Same name - Haley M. Williams, and exactly the same email (word-for-word) that she initially sent me as well. Only, she gave me a different number: (605)853-8028. I am SO glad I Googled her name when I started getting suspicious and found this! I am SO glad I didn't give her any of my info!!!

Hey, the same thing happened to me. I actually did not cash the check though.

I'm scared because whoever did this actually has my address.

Has anything happened to you?

Yeah they tried to scam me too. I didn't fall for it.

I replied to a Craiglist ad, the response sounded a little off so when I pasted the message here she's going by Haley Johnson, travel nurse, Yoga instructor from Pierre SD.

I am glad I did a google search and read these posts and thanks to all for posting here since she sent me identical e-mail with the name 'Hayley Johnson' from Pierre South Dakota and the same story of her mother passing away becuase of cancer. And she is a travel nurse but her passion is yoga and she's been to India for yoga,.......
In her second e-mail she wanted me to commit renting to her without even looking at the place or even talking to me.
I am surprised if she is doing this scam for more than a year, when she is not caught by authorities until now. I am sure people must have reported this scam to Law Enforcing Authorities since there is not a one or two instances, she has done the same thing to at least dozen of people.

Please inform someone in Law Enforcement Department if you have contacts.

Just for fun,  look up that address on Google maps.  It look like a large clump of trees.

Still a lot of the same wording on Craigslist in Upstate NY

Hello,

I really am in need of a room for myself and i am open to a shared kind of situation too. Needing a room that is available now or that will be soon. Offers from surrounding areas would be considered as well. I am a professional and i'm pretty laid back, easy to get along with, friendly, I do not smoke, drink or do drugs and have no pets . I clean up after myself, my environment and i am able to pay my rents and other bills on time. I am honest and would like to rent from likeminded person. So If you have something suitable available, please do email me with cost of rent and other details. Looking forward to serious response

Thanks for your email toward the Cleaning Job position we posted on Craigslist. One thing you need to know right now is that we are looking for someone to take this position as soon as possible, as we will be moving to the area in 2-3 weeks and we do need a person to clean. So, we will be looking forward to your prompt response. I will like you to know more about us. We are a family of 3, .......... i got the same mesage.

Totally cannot believe this. So I never ever use Craigslist for finding roommates but it worked for me last year and so I decided to post something about my apt. She is now going by the name of DANI ATKINSON and targeting Stevens Point, WI. I remember waking up to her text messages at 4am which I thought was odd each time. I told her I'm not going to send my address to someone I've never even talked to and we would need to skype or something. That's when she sent me that message everyone else got saying something like "I'd hope you'd understand I won't be making any moving plans until I'm secured" super creepy I remember the morning I got that message being really freaked out and getting this sick feeling in my stomach and a light switch went on and I thought "this girl is not real".

This loser had me for about one second. THen she sent me pictures of a girl that I knew. Same ploy as all of the rest. This is probably some individual who is part of ISIS trying to hack innocent Americans. Do not fall for it. I will have my vengence

Dani, then Daniela later. Nice touch.  She I s pinging Tucson now, verbatim and from Fort Pierre.

Targeting St. Louis, Missouri now

Wow unbelievable glad I decided to check on her. She emailed me this morn wanting to move Daytona area. Same story mother died and all. I know not to send her any more info. Thanks for the postings

she gave me her name so I decided to look her up I couldn't find anything really but then I found this site. its hilarious what a [***] I still played along I'm waiting for a reply I'm curious to see what she says lol I'll repost and keep everyone up to date.

This is what she sent me so far.
