Agents Pretending to be prospective Flatmates

Maybe Im new to this but as Im an expat who is moving to Singapore soon I register on the flatmates wanted site here stating I was looking to share a condo. Well quite a few of the people that contact me are agents posing as flatmates!
I find this has been a waste of my time giving them info about me and trying to come to some comparison to see if we can live together, only to find that the person just wants me to send money for deposits and then fill a condo with strangers.
There needs to be some form of filtering of these people as it has really wasted time. In Australia if you advertise to be a flatmate or needing a flatmate that is what you get, not some ruthless agent telling you they want you to move in with them.
Have others had this problem??
