I am so glad i googled this address!!! i posted an ad in several sites, including roomates.com and craigslist and was almost immediately contacted by a woman claiming that she had been contracted with a modeling organization and needed a room. She gave me the name Tonia Kirk-Johnson at 446 J.J. Dessalines City. she listed it as a London address, I noticed others have been haiti. Maybe they realized people were wising up? I did e-mail her my home address before I checked, so she could see it on Zillow.com... she can't really do anything with that can she? I feel very foolish- needless to say, but she seemed over eager, ad gave me WAY to much info for someone who doesn't even know me. This website saved me from being scammed- thank you all who took the time to post your experiences, i am very grateful.
