I Am Currently Being Scammed and Want To Help

Hello All.... I replied to a rental ad for a house and when investigating the deal, which seemed a little weird, I Googled the phone number that the guy had given me. It directed me to your site and a post by one of the moderators with the same exact letter the guy sent me. There was a little application that didn't reveal much that I filled out and sent in. I was accepted to rent this guys house and now he wants me to send money through Western Union. He keeps texting me because I didn't tell him yet that I know the scam.
Anything I can do to help catch this guy? If anything, i'd like to know how to respond now that I know. Please let me know if you want more info from me.

Thanks

Hello ohgeewhiz2010 and welcome to Scamwarners,
The scammer has your real contact information and you know it is a scam from other post(s) on this forum so the best thing to do is to stop all communication. Ignore the messages and he will eventually go away.
The scammer is probably located in Africa or some other place that is out of the reach of your local law enforcement.
Please post any new information that you may have on this particular scam to serve as a warning to others that may be a target of this scam.

If you have any additional questions please ask.
