Should I go to Australia with a stranger?
Posted on October 20th, 2009 by admin
I recieved and e-mail and a phone call from a woman claiming to be the former manager of a very high end Wellness spa in hawaii. er family has moved to Australia and she wants to move there as well, and start up her own holistic wellness center, but she doesn’t want to go alone. She found me on craigslist looking for a room, and she says I seem like the kinf of person who is up for an adventure like this. Here is the e-mail she sent me:Hello Savana,
It was nice talking to you today. Here’s the outline. WIN-WIN situation
Fun, friendly, dramafree, nonsmoking, vegetarian/vegan, roomate, travelmate, companion, good driver wanted to explore Australia and have a good time
I can provide you with free housing, round trip airfare and some cash bonus for shopping and meals in Australia
Once we feel safe, secure and comfortable in each others company and become friends than I want to start the best Holistic Vegan Yoga Healing center with a vegan restaurant in a tropical paradise like Hawaii, Goa or Australia. [ Like Blue Lagoon ]
You can be my right hand woman and be the Manager
I will also train you in Ayurveda healing
If you are interested than please email me your profile or resume and let me know when you are able to hangout with me in sunny Santa Monica so that we get to know each other and make plans for Australia and our Holistic Wellness center where we can improve the health and longevity of our clients
Life is as simple as one wants to make it and live it
What do you guys think? Is it a scam of some sort, or the opportunity of a lifetime?
OH yea!
You should know that she also offered me a roundtrip ticket to santamonica to visit her, to make sure we are compatable and the chemestry is there, if not, she says, I can go right back home to Arizona.
You can never know with these sorts of things. There is something that I find weird though – that she doesnt want to go alone, but yet she is willing to go with a virtual stranger. Surely she would find someone in her community that would be willing – a fellow vegan whom she already knows?
If I was you, I would try and do some further reseach on the matter first, maybe google her and google the firm she used to work for, and maybe get in touch with them if you are unsure. And it surely cant hurt to meet her, but make sure you take someone with you – just in case.

If it sounds just too good, it usually is. Anyhow, you wouldn’t lose anything by paying her a visit according to that additional information.Do that, but meet in a public place first.

Sounds like a scam to me.
I’d stay well away from her/him.
How exactly is she going to move here to Australia permanently?
We don’t just let people move and work here you know.
There is a lot more to it than getting on a plane and staying.
