Hello, Thanks for your time and response to our advert..Please it is importunate you read this carefully! Our available house is a lovely one for rent in Columbia, SC..You can drive by to view it from the outside at 2319 Gadsden St, Columbia, SC 29201...If you know you're not serious please i beg you don't bother replying, don't waste your time and mine....We are looking for a God fearing and a neat family that can occupy it as you can see our home is more decent and well kept. Please note that your rent starts counting from move in date so we want you to be sincere to us and always remember to pay your rent when it is due... I am Bishop Thomas Richard and First lady Janet Richard happens to be my wife....Due to my quick missionary movement as a parish Bishop, my family and I had to leave the house that was posted on Craigslist at Columbia, SC to give it out for rent and now we are in Africa to spread the word of God and also to build a new parish,where people can worship.we're currently in west Africa reaching out to the underprivileged ones here, it has become our lifestyle to see people happy. You can reach me through this (+2348175550400) be sure to dial internationally. We have been finding it difficult to rent it due to we won't be able to see the tenant in person until we come for check up but we pray about it and belief in our heart to find someone with a good heart and good intention. You should count yourself lucky to meet with this offer because we decided to offer a price below standard of $500 per month(rent already include utilities except for power and trash) in order to make it affordable. An agent was to handle this for us at a high price but due to the fact we are not originally from the area and also because of commission issues, we decided it is best to handle it ourselves and we would appreciate anyone who understands our situation and will be willing to work with us...

NOTE: We did not authorized any agent for our property anymore. The keys are with us but we have no problems as far as getting it to whoever we feel is potential to rent the house. Please understand my situation and consider me. I am married with three(3) kids. Am only trying to help someone here and in return i hope the person takes care of my property...

Hello,
Thank you for posting the information on this scammer. The only truthful thing he said was the fact he is located in Western Africa.
