So I'm looking to relocate Kern Hall and have been replying to various adverts on a popular website that sounds like an organic sexual health clinic.

Several times now I've received replies from advertisers saying that they had to up sticks to Africa hence the fully-furnished nature of the flat and its reasonable rent. Although different names are used and they come from different addresses they are all poorly punctuated and all suffer from irregular capitalisation.

To me it sounds like a variant on the old 411 scam: anyone else come across this?

Yeah, it's a scam.

Have they asked to see your arse?

Sadly not.

Thankfully I always use a dud account and haven't sent off any money.
