I received the same emails and gave my mailing information. I feel like a boob!
I was not asked for any help providing for his family (Andrea (wife), Konbri (2) and Harry(3 yrs 10 months))
I had the feeling it was very odd, but didn't want to disregard just in case. Asked them to call me, Got the reply of the issue with the phone card and calling times. I asked several questions, including for them to solidify a meeting date to sign contracts and these were all avoided. I saw it as an oversight by a desperately time pressed family.

How do we stop this??? Obviously the email he got was from here as my other listing has only my phone number. I looked at my listing and would like to know IF I make my email private/unavailable, can interested families still contact me?

I wish I had taken the time to google this guys name as THAT is how I found out about this scam this morning (while awaiting a deposit that was due to arrive yesterday despite my being insistent none was required until the contracts were signed)

If I can help anyone with information I may have, please contact me and I am happy to help out!
