Hi and Welcome to Scamwarners.

First up, please PM Julia our admin with an alternate username which will keep you safe on line.

I have removed some details from your post to keep you safe as well, please do not post your email address publicly, by doing so you will greatly increase the spam and scam emails into your inbox.

As to reporting this, the best place to report email scams is to post them on sites like this, reporting them to teh email providers will only cause them to create new email addresses and identities which we will have no information on.

It is far better to know the names and email addresses they are using.

Please do not reply to any of the future emails you receive from these people, it is not safe to do so.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

This scam is still going on and the guy is now calling himself Peterson Clever. I found the ad on Gumtree and was very nearly fooled until the little voice in my head started shouting 'better check this out on the internet!!!' and lo and behold I find it is a scam!! Always listen to the voices!!

Hi,
I got your response concerning my AD. The home is still available but presently I’m not around.. I did bid for a portion of petroleum land sometimes ago in West Africa and fortunately I won the bidding so I have to move quickly down to Africa to have my company set up because I will still have to rebid for it in the next 5 years. I came over here with my wife, we both bought the home when we got married. As soon as we settle down here I had a thought of selling the home but later my wife advised against that. She said we may not be able to win the bidding next time, in other to keep our head when we return that we have to keep the home. I reasoned with her and accepted her advise. If you notice, you will discovered that the price we are offering is far below standard price, this is enough for you to know that we are not after the rental fee but the absolute care for the property. I know there is no way I can be sure that you are the right person to live in the home because we won’t be able to see physical before sending you the keys and the documents to occupy
the space. But I just had a feeling that anyone who knows what it takes to put the kind of structure down should know that maintaining a building is mandatory, so if
you belief you can take good care of the home and handle it like yours then I will be more than happy to
let you rent the home.
Please if you are ready now to occupy the home kindly provide the information below for record purpose..
NOTE:YOU WILL BE VIEWING ONLY THE OUTSIDE OF THE HOME.
