Rental Scam in British Columbia by "William Trory"? You be the Judge.

Note from Reader tattles on likely scam of William Trory. Note how "William" frowns on drinking ;-) but must be okay with scamming. Please also note that the address indicated may or may not be a real rental opportunity, but it has been utilized by the scammer as a potential scam.
Hi Joey:
I was searching for places to rent in Burnaby BC and came upon a posting and emailed to view the condo; this is the response I got. Definitely another Scammer on the loose.
Please post on your site!!!
Thanks

Is this also a scam? This is a reply I received from a rental inquiry:
sorry for the late respond....Thanks for your email, I personally own the house, I want my property to be well taken good care of there are some rules and regulation I do give out to tenant willing to rent my house please don't disrespect my order But if you are still capable of renting my house the rules and regulation goes this way............You must keep my house clean including the surrounding, you must know how to use the stove to avoid fire outbreak,you must not disturb the neighbor.l decided to rent out the property due to our transfer to (West Africa)for a Missionary Work in a church here named World Mission cos formally the house was for sale but my husband advise me not to sell it anymore and now l want to rent the house for you cos am looking for someone to move in asap.we are renting it out cos we need someone to take good care of the property becos of the far distance we are not after the money. Don't be surprise if you find the home with another site and different price I plan to rent it through Real estate before but they are not serious because they have a lot of house to lease out And they added some money to rent it and they commission is not flexible.Have this in mind you must know the kind of person I'm cos am giving you this rules because of what corresponded between me and my last tenant.you can drive by the house anytime to take a look at the area and surrounding. For now we are looking for 2 or 3 years lease or rather lets us know how long you wish to stay.let me know if you are still interested to able me forward you the Rental Questionnaire to fill out.

This same email was given to me after I inquired about a property in Smyrna, GA. I hope that this person suffers a miserable, painful disease. And as for the picture of the family it purports to have, I hope they know that they are being used like this.
