True she's cute

Hold on : She has been doing all that in 9 years :

FLORENCIA MARINA DAUD attended University of Buenos Aires where she qualified as a lawyer, with Honors, in 2001. Following Law School she worked for a major Law Firm in Argentina, and then moved to Europe to acquire international experience. She pursued a graduate degree at the prestigious London School of Economics (LSE) and obtained an LLM from the University of London. She attended numerous courses in International Law at the School of European Law (ERA) in Brussels, Belgium and combined her law background with practical experience at the Court of Justice of the European Communities in Luxembourg and The Law Society of England and Wales in London.
Additionally she represented clients and counseled in New York, US, gaining valuable experience and insight in International Law. She has conducted research and made publications in the fields of International Business Law and International Relations. Mrs. Daud is a member of the Bar of the City of Buenos Aires since 2001.

Something is or went wrong !

And she forgot in the bio on her website the fact she has been working too at the (source:wikipedia)

Florencia Daud (born on November 9, 1977 in Buenos Aires, Argentina) is a well known Argentine expert in international affairs who formerly worked at the National Argentine Congress, The UK Parliament (Westminster) and at the Court of Justice of the European Communities in Luxembourg, while studying at the London School of Economics, England, focusing on EU-Latin America social, commercial and political relations.


Damn, she is the most preeminent Argentinean jurist I see !

That name I recognize from all of the bills in the apartment. Both of them used aliases. Valeria was Veronica. And the Mom was Maria Eugenia or something...

And another phone number from her legal website

She's on Wikipedia. Wow.

I smell another scam.

Someone's got to tag that for deletion.... I would do it but I don't know how.

Wow, thanks for all the responses! I have to run and will follow up with all of your suggestions later tonight or over the weekend, but thanks for the support. I have two phone numbers for her: 15-5346-4957, which is the number where I had been able to reach her so easily during my stay but now she never picks up, and 15-5259-1319, which I got by replying to her Craigslist ad from another e-mail account posing as an interested future tenant. Also, the e-mail address she had been using during my stay was [email protected], whereas she used [email protected] to reply to the e-mail from my other account. Anyway, I'll check back later and I really hope I/we can do something about this scum of the earth.

Interesting such a high flying Argentine doesn't have a Spanish Wikipedia entry.

Another business (it seems it has been closed now). But the interesting thing is that, again, at the same adress, it's again a business dealing with english speaking clients, paying in USD.

That Spanish school has the same phone number listed on her whois. I received a call from that number last year. I know this because I just called it and heard the voicemail, and last year, after receiving the call, I called the number back and remember getting the voicemail. It's the same Vmail, in perfect English. The English that this Veronica/Valeria/Florencia speaks has a non-native accent, if I recall correctly.

(ETA: I have an infection in my eye right now, so forgive me for the awful English errors... I'm a native speaker, trust me. haha)

 

[French jurist]

What sounds really fishy is that the only informations about her appearing on the net are written in english. Not a single thing in spanish. Like if (supposition) she/they would like to be discreete within Argentina, but not at all for foreigners (international lawyer, spanish school, culinary school for foreigners, short term rentals for foreigners).

There's definitely a pattern here... Legit ?!
