Mimi S. Williams
Complaint 328331 Details

i was looking for a roommate and she replied be very nice and seemed like a very nice person. then in my head i started seeing red flags go up. I felt as if her emails where a little to well thought out and she kept pushing to move forward then when she said she would send the first month rent and deposit i knew it was a scam here are her emails

Thanks for emailing me, I am looking to rent soon and i think its fair to let you know about me. My name's Mimi S. Williams, 27 y/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.

2)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'll also 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 availabililty 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.

and final one Hi again,

I am just 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 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 (6058367571). 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.
My Info: Mimi S. Williams, 714 N Oneida Ave Pierre, SD 57501
