I had the exact same one, except used the name Edward Sweeney. Got a series of e-mails with the last one being the identical one noted here.
I just got an email from Donald Simmons. Pulled the same.
This guy has wasted so much of my time. And to call himself a Christian is a total joke. I received multiple emails that were nearly identical to what others have received. I blocked his email, so I sure hope he stops. Poor guy must have a very boring life if he gets his kicks by scamming people renting homes and condos. So pathetic!
This guy has also wasted lots of my time! Exact same fake stuff, except used Scott Winstead:
