Thanks for your mail,i appreciate your wanting to help us in our situation. In view of my work schedule, i would want us to finalise basic arrangements. I'm and i am currently working with British hunters Imperial Dinosaur Fossil Research in Middlesex. London UK . I will be in the states for the next one year with my wife and five year old daughter and during my stay i will be Trading dinosaur fossils with Some USA Museums and Research with some America Palentologist on fossils hunting and field work.

My Trustee in the states will be the one to handle the Move in fee, and we will instruct him to send you the check for this as soon as you give us the go ahead to make payment to you. Due to the limited time that we have before our arrival, we are making arrangements with a furniture company there in state to supply the home with some befitting furnitures.
Due to the limited time that we have before our arrival,we are making arrangements with a furniture company to supply the home with furniture,so we will need you to provide us with the measurements of the living room and bedroom so that we can send it to the furniture company so that they can supply the unit with furniture that will fit in well.
As regards the lease agreement,i want you to send it to me for my review,i will eventually have it filled and signed on my arrival in your place as i am of the opinion that such documents are best filled and signed physically.We can start the lease by the 25th of Oct and we will be doing a one year lease although we will not be arriving until first week of nov,You can prepare the lease in my my name Prof Jeff Smith and my wife's name Mrs Linda Smith and you can as well contact my on +447031914059 because am always busy in office ,

He doesn't use that name any more and is in Seattle...This is the reply I got from him about a listing:
Good to read from you,am very comfortable with your profile,and have no doubt you would be of good morals and discipline,because am an intellectual and very mindful of the kind of individuals i associate with,let alone lease my house to.At this point,i would give your family consideration over other prospective tenants applying.However,for the fact that you are been considered the most eligible,does not guarantee your interest,because there are other prospective tenants,i would have to put on hold,pending your confirmation of seriousness.which is meeting with the financial aspect of the transaction (Deposit) to enable shipment of the Keys and document to the address you will have to provide to us, after which you could move in at your convenience. The rent starts counting when you move in, so you could go ahead with the payment straight away to make things faster.
Here are the contents of the document that needs to be sent.
1) Entrance and the rooms Keys
2) Paper/Permanent house form
3) The house documentary file.
4) Full Description of the house
5) Payment Receipt..
So please do get back to me today so that I will let know the next step to take concerning the payment....The house is available for rent for up to 4 years,so you are free to decide on how long you intend occupying it...Rent already includes utilities.. It has a Central Air and Heat,refrigerator,dishwasher,dryer,oven,internet,Cable TV,Air conditioner..It also has a garage and i'm ready to accept either monthly or upfront mode of payment..depending on the one you're most comfortable with..Utilities include: power, water,sewer and trash..Your monthly rent already covers utilities so you do not have to pay extra charges for that.. Please note that the deposit made is fully refundable should in case you finally gain entrance to the house after receiving the keys and documents and feel unsatisfied or uncomfortable with the interior,but i am giving you a benefit of doubt that you will love everything about this lovely home... Our house number is +234-703-643-3168 OR 011-234-703-643-3168. and you could give us a call at your convenience...

Hello,
Thanks for the email. I Mr. Philips, own the wonderfully 2 bedroom 1 bathroom Duplex with hydro,heat,laundryfacilities,aircondition, internet and phone line. And I also want you to know that it was due to my missionary work transfer that made me and my wife to leave the house with an intention of giving it out for rent. I am looking for a responsible person that can take very good care of it as we are not after the money for the rent but want the property to be kept clean at the time as it is our hard-earned property.If you are honestly interested and will absolutely maintain my property,(treating it like it belongs to you) as i hope i can put my trust and confidence in you because i will come to check on my property yearly.

Presently, We are here in west Africa doing the Lord's duty for humanity, for through our direct service to mankind, the blessings and promises of God will manifest today. The house vital informative documents and the entrance keys to the house are with me, for we try to look for dependable agent to handle the rent but could not find due to the limited time we had before leaving the United States. Mostly we do not want our property to be given to any sort of person to avoid damages and troubles. I and my wife came over to West Africa for a missionary work you can go over or drive by to se the house ok, but you can only view from outside for now hope you understand ok, so I hope you will promise us to take very good care of the house. So get back to me on how you could take care of our house or perhaps the experience and your persentliving condition.

Hi Jonathan and Jessica, I am the actual owner of the house at 1774 Russet Woods Lane in Hoover. The person that used my name Tammy Nelson copied my add from Craigslist and changed the price. I am sorry that happened. Several people have pulled up both adds and called to let me know. I found this post by googleing my own address. If you are still interested check craigslist out again and mine is the one that is in a brochure format. Thanks Tammy Nelson
This was received by someone who asked me for my opinion. I ran some searches and found this site. This email has the same phone number as others.

This is my email to him:Henry-
I just have a few questions
Are the pictures of the apt current?
I am asking because the address of 11101 Georgia ave is the archstone apt. and being that I run many 911 rescue calls in the Wheaton area, I have been to these apt. several time and not seen a layout of this sort?
Do you own this place? nNormally rent here is outrageous! Not to mention that fact the utilities are separate at that place?
How are you able to offer me such a fabulous deal?
Also, how will I know that you will mail me the packet of info and keys after I send you the money?
Pardon my concerns, It's just that we've been taught around here to watch our back and be weary of scams.
Not to say a missionary for SCOAN is a scamer, but I can never be to sure of anything!
Thanks
Do your research, be weary! and if its to good to be true, it probably is!!!

There at it again...this time in Maryland. I received an email from Professor Williams Smith and wife Florence Smith. Thank you for saving me potential trouble.
Here's some ways to get this scammer...
Here are a couple of emails that I have received and fortunately I did an internet search as my husband was on his way to Western Union and I found this blog. You all saved us from losing money that we really could not afford to lose. Thank you so much!!!

I filed an internet fraud complaint with the FBI, Hawaii Police Department, Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Department of Commerce & Consumer Affairs and AfriNIC. Below is the IP address trace route for the email's that I received from him. If anyone gets an email from this fraudulent scammer, you can check the email long headers for an IP to do an IP Trace Route search at this website:

Then with the trace route you can incorporate that into your complaint to the agencies that I listed above. This scammer is using multiple internet networks to facilitate abuse and Nigerian Advance Fee Fraud. Nigerian Advance Fee Fraud is BIG business. Just put these words in a Google Search: current trends in advance fee fraud... the info about it is endless! Hope this helps. These guys are ruthless. Even after the wired transfer was stopped, I still got emails and phone calls from him attempting to get me to send the money. I asked him in my last email to please send me a copy of his drivers license and passport.
Here's his response to that:
Hello, I want you to understand that am a man of God and from my own side am giving my house to you only because you are just an elderly man just like myself and i see in your pictures that you will be the one in good condition to take proper care of my house. I am really convince when you told me on phone that this is a scam which is nothing i can never do in my life because of the kind of field that am into. If really you believe that God exist i will like you to go and make the payment then get back to me with the confirmation of the payment so that shipment of the keys of my house can take place to your house address immediately.
I wait to hear back from you
Thanks and God bless you.
Pastor Harrison Darren
AND...
Hello, Thanks for everything. But i just want you to know that you can't expect to give you my dirver's lincense all because you want to rent my house. I can see you really don't have trust with your money meanwhile am trusting you with my house. If really you want to rent my house you can make the payment and change the Text question and text answer. You will only let me know the MTCN so that i can be sure that you have really make the payment then shipment of my keys will commence. Immediately when you receive the keys you will be giving me the rest of the information so that i can be able to get the money at the Western Union.
Thanks and God bless you

Hi-
Yes, i just received the exact same email from Professor Zhang Yang. At first I thought it was a scam, but when I googled his name he did come up as a real Paleontologist, also he asked for the room dimensions and said he would pay in cash.
Just to make sure I googled the name of the British Hunters (that did sound a bit hokey) and your blog came up. Thanks so much for posting this, at least saving me the charge of a long distance call.

i feel so stupid. i filled out the application with all my real info. no social security number but real birth date and phone number. now that i know this whole thing was scam i am scared that they will do something with my info. they can't really do anything without a social, right? this is such a mean thing to do, i was completely excited because i drove by it and it is a beautiful home for cheap.
Craigslist says: If you deal ONLY with people that are local and whom you can meet in person, you will avoid 99% of the scams. i think this is sound advice.
I got the standard letter from Mubaraq wanting to rent my apartment:
Thanks for your prompt response... All transportation arrangements are being handled by my travel agents from the airport and all other modalities will be arranged on our arrival... My financier will be paying for my flight, accommodation and all other holiday expenses...
covering the total cost of our stay.

There's currently a listing like this for a house in Jacksonville, FL. Glad i googled the so called "christian convention" and got this page for the first result. I had the application filled out and everything.
I got on Craigslist trying to find an apartment in Denver, CO and I got an email from a Rev Flora Washington. We sent a few emails back and forth and things started getting fishy, so I highlighted the part in her email where she said she was in "Lagos,Nigeria for an international Christian follower's crusade" and i pasted it into google and this website came up!! These people are so ridiculous...

NB:we could not quickly arrange for an agent or look for some one to immediately hand over the keys to..you know you can not just give anybody keys to your home and also to help you rent it out...that is not done so easily these days so i was advised to come down here with it since it would be very easy to mail back to any person who wants to rent..So i need you to see reasons with us..so you can call me on this number +234-708-148-7676 or 011-234-708-148-7676
The house is available for rent at the moment so you are free to move in as soon as you wish to...A Deposit of 600 (which happens to be the Security Deposit) is required before moving in which will be refunded back to you after 3 months of rent, and you will pay the rent and security deposit as payment to receive the keys and some papers for move in and also full house plan
Looking forward to hearing from you with all this details so that i can have it in my file incase of issuing the receipt for you and contacting you...Await your urgent reply so that we can discuss on how to get the document and the keys to you,please we are giving you all this based on trust and again i will want you to stick to your words,you know that we have not seen yet and only putting everything into Gods hands,so please do not let us down in this our property and God bless you more as you do this.
i knew something wasn't right he had all utilities including gas for 1k on a 3bedroom house i'm in MINNESOTA gas alone is 1-300 and your avg house starts at 1k so how are you covering all of these utilities. I work in IT so instantly start running the phone number and found this. I should send him a treat back to his acct...and it will at least stop these pose for awhile.
What a scum. I actually believed him at first. I found him on a post in Oceanside, CA. It's the same e-mail as everyone else posted - missionaries to Poland, in Nigeria for a Christian Crusade, same description of home as the others in other states. He even included "his" blog page.
"P.S. You could see the kind of missionary work we do on this site (www.missionary-blogs.com)"
Is he looking for nothing but money via Western Union? I filled out the renters form and am nervous now.
I believe that he is now using the name of Jack Fields from Manchester, UK. I was contacted regarding a timeshare rental in Cabo San Lucas, MX. He sent me a follow up email yesterday regarding an overpayment check in the mail. Wants me to reimburse the excess to his travel agent. I first became suspicious when his emails vacillated between normal sentence structure and poor grammar. Sort of like two people were writing the emails under one name. He also could not keep his story straight from email to email. The kicker was the overpayment cashiers check. I expect another email today.
Here is today's email from jackfield00@gmail.com
Ken,
Thanks the swift respone and sorry for the late response. Payment will get to you tomorrow... About you talking to your bank thats was
a good ideal of you all you are going to do once you get the check,
you are to follow your bank advise and please kindly get the rest
funds to traveling agent as soon as you get check deposited in your bank tomorrow. I'll look forward to hearing from you sooner.
Thanks and God bless.
Regards...
Mr. Jack

Not going to bother posting the entire email, it says pretty much the same thing as the rest that are posted.
I AM SO BLESSED THAT I LOOKED FOR THE CRUSADE THIS PERSON SAID THEY WERE ON BECAUSE IT BROUGHT ME RIGHT TO THIS SCAMMER SITE!!!
Someone googled the phone number, that was smart!
This is terrible, just terrible!
I pray and hope, hope and pray they don't get away with this and keep taking innocent people's money. I'm sick to my stomach, really I feel sick.
THANK YOU FOR HAVING THIS SITE!!!
I knew I should stay away from Craigslist lol
I would love to post my entire exchange with my scammer here, but it's rather lengthy. I've arranged all of the emails into chrono order and posted them on my facebook here:
http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.2224483499183.128669.1460622518&l=b7853bf78b&type=1
also recorded a phone call with the guy onto youtube here:
http://youtu.be/EY4UJdrQDog
I think it's pretty damned funny, but it's very sad that people are falling for this sort of thing.

SAME SCAM ... SLO CALIF...USING NAME MIKE YOUNG.... SO PATHETIC!!!
It's still going--they've now moved into Kentucky as well. I'm wondering if I should contact the person whose name and address they're using, and ask them to put a sign in their yard for potential victim who're driving by to check out the house.
I to have received an e-mail like this, saying everything everyone else has posted. I actually went to look at the house and and right when we got there we could tell it was a scam. And for putting the word of GOD and trust in there....they will be going to hell why the hell would people do that....my husband called it a scam the minute i read the email...he said it's a scam there are scams coming from all over Nigera and unfortunately the people there arent trustworthy
Here's the one I got, from someone calling himself Aidan Tristan:
