I also received an email from Sarah Lee of Cyprus for housing at Capilano U in N. Vancouver,BC

I also got an email from Sarah after posting on the uOttawa Off-Campus Housing billboard, asking for my bank information. SCAM!

After I posted my house to share on university websites in Ottawa (Ottawa U and Carleton U) I got an email supposedly from a Sarah Lee ( sarahlee869@gmail.com / sarahlee869@collegeprospectus.net ), supposedly from Cyprus. When the story seemed a bit strange I googled the phone number she gave ( 786-519-2802 ) and luckily found the info in this thread.

This Killian Ake seems to be a very active person. Somehow he did manage to get access to our Yahoo Account. (We are a non profit Organization in Africa which is helping the poor and needy) they now try to divert payments from our customers to their bank account in London.

After much dialogue with this so called David Caron, I told him I wasn't comfortable with sending money via money gram and asked for his bank account info to deposit the funds directly. Reluctantly he sent me the info, but not surprising, the name on the account is not David Caron but Killian Ake. His excuse was that he had a name change years ago but kept the account in his previous name. I called the authorities but it looks like there is not much that can be done to stop these scam artists.

Below is the bank info for this scam artist. I hope this info helps someone to not get caught by him.

I have received the same info from Lisa Caron on same dates as Mark. Saying she wanted to rent my place near the university of Waterloo. This is a total scam!

I recently received a cheque for $3100 for renting a room in my house near McMaster University. The payee is  "London Drugs Limited".. I inquired about the cheque and below is the response I got from "David Caron". - It's definitely a SCAM.


I am really comfortable that Lisa will be renting from someone who cares. Thanks for the love, concern and efforts for Lisa via email.
I instructed my client to send you the first and last month's rent i.e $760 while $2340 was meant for Lisa's travel expenses. My client made a mistake sending you all my money. It is very unfortunate I don't have much on me now as I have just paid for my bills and mortgage so I can't get Lisa's flight bookings done due to the fact that I have given her most of the money with me ''money order''(cashable in Canada only) for the things she will be needing as soon as she comes over there, she will be paying you on the first day of every month in cash or paying you the whole rent depending on how you want it.
You will need to send $2230 to my travel agent through Money Gram and $110 for the transfer charges.
I will email Lisa's flight details when confirmed. Can you pick her from the airport? if you can't, she can take a taxi/cab to the house.
This is the travel agent's information below where you will send $2230 via Money Gram.

Same phone number and scenario, only the daughter's name was Sherri Cox and the Dad was Mark Cox.

I got the same cheque but it was for rent his daughter was coming to St. Catharines Ontario canada to study at brock university. The cheque did got through and it was cashed.

When cheque came to you what company name was on it. As it got one from this man about daughter lisa also sharonb12345@hotmail.com

I got the same message from Lisa Caron and saying her dad would send cheque.  I figured it was a scam, but I'm curious about the cheque.  I just received a cheque from London Drugs Limited and wonder if that's the same cheque that others got, as I don't know what this cheque is for.

I got the same messages, and a fake cheque.  It's a scam.

Got email message re renting my apt. Lisa Caron in UK and cheque to come from her dad David Caron in Florida who gave this phone  #.  Had another message from Jennifer Braid whose dad in Florida was supposed to send the money including # for car delivery which I was to send to someone else.

I got the same message for my apartment to rent at Mcmaster university, Ontario Canada

Got message from this number looking to rent apartment at McMaster, Canada. Very similar message to another person with a phone number identified in this forum as a potential scam (720) 961-3973.
