Important: Black List
Dear reader!
Since the launch of Erasmate we have helped many people finding and renting rooms, unfortunately, we also received few emails reporting scammers on our platform. Although we have warned several times to be cautious when it comes to transferring money, some people became victim of scams.
Therefore we’d like to share a black list of users identified as potential scammers:
- Daniela Andress Esser
- Dario Robles / Robles Liro
- Hooper Jane
- Jordan Cowell
- Julia Torrado
- Lea Ginette / Lea Gen / Lea Genetti
- Laureen Mourus
- Malleville Adrien
- Martina Spolini
- Mery Sankara
- Michael Cheng / Michael Ruben
- Roberto Lara / Roberto Lar
- Sonia Koneh
- Soren Wengerowsky
- Susan Rob / Rob James / James Robinson
- Sven Thorwarth
- Tessa Anouk
Although these users have been blocked from our system, they often re-register under other email accounts. Do you recognize part of their names in usernames or email addresses, stop your conversation!
How can you recognize a potential scammer?
* Invites to communicate via private email accounts (instead of via the Erasmate mailing system)
* Question to transfer X months of rent and deposit
* Telling some story about family members renting out the place
* Question to transfer money via WesternUnion
We recognize that all scammers ask for payments via WesterUnion. We recommend to only make payments to personal bank accounts.
In case you belief to be in touch with a scammer, quite your conversation and report to us!
We’re working hard on preventing scams. Soon our new platform with increased security standards will be launched in order to minimize scam activity.
Do not hesitate to spread this blog post to friends using our platform in order to increase awareness!
Best regards Your Erasmate Team
