Hello,
I did get your response concerning the ADVERT i posted on craigslist. The house is still available for RENT but presently i am out of the country. I did bid for a portion of petroleum land three months ago in West Africa and fortunately i won the bidding so i have to move down to Africa to have my company set up because i will still have to rebid for it in the next 10 years. I came over here with my wife and my daughter, my wife and i bought the house when we got married. As soon as we settle down here i had a thought of selling the house but later my wife advised against it. 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 house. I reasoned with her and accepted her advise. Later we decided to have the house rented out. If you notice, you will discovered that the price we are offering is far below standard market price, this is enough for you to know that we are not after the rental fee but the absolute care for our property. I know there is no way i can be sure that you are the right person to live in my house because we won't be able to meet in physical before sending you the keys and the documents to occupy the house. 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 believe you can take good care of the house and handle it like yours then i will be more than happy to let you rent the house.

Welcome and thank you for posting. Can you please include the scammer's email address in your post? (you can just edit it in). It helps to have it show up in searches.
