I put an ad on Roomates.com and I got this. I did not fall for it.

Hi L----
I am willing to rent a room or seek a roommates who is nice and honest. My name is Karen and I am 28yrs, Single, never been married, I am originally from Camden, NJ. but I am currently out of the United States, I should return back to the State, as soon as I am able to secure a room where I will stay.
I am honest, trustworthy and caring person, who enjoy making good friends, I don't smoke and I don't drink ( but I am not against it), my hobbies are traveling, and Singing, I go to a friends party, but I don't stay late at night.
I would have loved to come and look at the room, but I am not in the States yet, so I will trust you on what you tell me regards the room. I am currently working for Schering (UK) and I travel most times to the US, I work as Research Associate in Molecular Imaging Research/Neurology.
I am moving back to the States. this very week, my plans to staying back in the States, and working from the US still for Schering, have thought about it carefully and I want to start my own life different from the one I have lived in the UK.
So I just want you to confirm the rent including utilities and if there is any deposit, whats the amount to move in all together? I am willing to stay for up to 8 months but I can move out during this 8 months if you want me to, as soon as I arrange payment for 2 months rent and deposit, when do I move in? What is the closest international airport to the house? I will ask my company's associate in the US to send you a payment to cover for 2 months to confirm my willingness to occupy your space.
Please forward me your full details where you would want the payment be mailed to:
(Full Name)......
(Address):.....
(City, Zip Code):...
(Email):...
(Direct Phone):...
Thanks, I will be waiting for your details so I can proceed with the payment, I have also forwarded you my picture so you will know how I look.
Regards,
Karen
