大家好。现在有个问题想求教各位朋友。
我是本月21号到达维多利亚，急于找个房子住。然后在http://victoria.en.craigslist.ca/roo/1311769228.html上看到有一个apt出租，觉得价位也比较合理。于是发了个邮件询问。对方很快就回复了，然后给我寄来了一份rental application form让我填。并告诉我她现在人在Oklahoma,但维多利亚那房间的keys and documents却在她手上。这是她回复我的邮件：
Hi,
Thanks for the response...there is a direct bus passing by the apt in which you just have to stand by a bus stop few legs after the apt taking you to UVic.
I am looking for a roommate because i'm still coming back to victoria just that it may be up to 12-18 months and moreover my furnitures are still in the apt and also i want to be fair enough about the price. （注：这句看得不是很明白，是不是说她12-18个月后会回到Victoria住呢？ ）
  I have attached the rental appliction form to you,so get back to me with  the filled form and send it via email...also attached is the interior of the building just for you to see how the inside looks like.
  I want you to get back to me ASAP...Regards and stay blessed.
     Sharon

以上就是事情的大概经过，我现在不敢贸然汇款过去，担心自己被骗。现在回想这两天跟她联系的经过，有两个疑点，（一）感觉她有点过于主动，邮件总是很快就回复我。（二）我现在人还在中国，怎么能仅仅凭trust就汇钱过去呢？一般人不会这样去要求对方的吧？所以我很担心自己是不是遇到骗子了？请大家帮我分析分析。万分感激。

先不要汇款　我之前和朋友找房子也和你有类似的经历　对方说不在本地　不可以见面　但是照片地址什么都有　只是说先付一部分定金就可以搬进去住　开始的时候我们很相信他　就经常发Email和他联系　他也是很快就回复　当时我们还奇怪　已经凌晨了　一般的Manager没有这么晚还等着别人来看房子的吧　后来我们就提问他好多问题　他开始不回复我们　后来去他给我们的apt问　最后人家说根本就没有这个人　而且已经好久都没有空房子了　现在想起来后怕啊　多亏留了个心眼　加拿大是个很讲书面签字的国家　空口无凭的　建议你在慎重的考虑考虑　他可能不是坏人　但是　我觉得处于自我防范　还是不要轻易就给他钱的好　何况你连他这个人都不知道有没有　现在还在国内　不出问题算是幸运　出了问题没有人能帮你　好好想想吧

骗子，我见过。总说自己是信徒，把命运教给上帝的手中，让你先给钱，钥匙和文件随后就寄到，巴拉巴拉的。侮辱上帝。
