I received this e-mail as a response to an ad I posted on Craigslist, and went as far as filling out the application, and started receiving calls & emails, even to today. I've NEVER experienced anything like this. I followed up by visiting the property and looking it up on line to see who the real owners were! Saved myself a lot of problems! Will be turning this over to authorities!

I will love to have showed you round the house and the inside, but am sorry i am presently out on a missionary trip.I have been posted to the West African by the United State Christian Organization for (Worldwide Missionary Outreach). We are now in West African for the Missionary work and so all you can do is drive by the home anytime. i wanted to sell it before and later changed my mind to rent it out for investment purposes since i might still come back some time 2 years or more to come. So we have ordered them to stop all advertisement about the home for sale and that will be effective asap. So i wouldn't want that to bother you at all I could not find an honest agent to hand over the place before leaving so i and my wife decided to post the property online.
