I to was almost a victim of these low lifes and just want to get the word out about them. I was looking for a new home and ran into these people on Craigs List.

This is the e-mail I recieved in response to my intrest in a home posted on the site.

Hi,

Thanks for emailing me regarding the house is still available, but presently I'm on business trip to West Africa. I bid for a portion of petroleum land sometimes ago in West Africa andfortunately I won, so I have to move quickly down to Africa to have my company set up. I came over here with my wife, we both bought the house when we got married. As soon as we settle downhere I had a thought of selling the house, so I have to look for an agent and getting one we strike a deal but later my wife advised me on selling the house. I reasoned with her and acceptedher advice. So I contacted the agent back and requested for my keys and documents.

Later we decided to have the house rent out, we would have given the same agent this job also but the truthof the matter is that the agent would want to handle it professionally and the occupant may not be able to reason along with him later and moresome I do not have anyone in the area I canleave the keys behind with so that is why I posted ad myself. If you notice, you will discover that the price we are offering is far below standard price and I this is enough for you to knowthat we are not after the rental fee but the absolute care for the property.

I know there is no way I can be sure that you are the right person to live in the house because we won't be ableto see physical before sending you the keys and the documents to occupy the space. The house is available for as long as you want and if you drive by the house you may see a sign there, youhave nothing to worry about it belongs to my previous agent so you have absolutely nothing to worry about and you don't have to call them because they do not have access to the house anymore. Please if you are ready now to occupy the house kindly provide the information below for record purpose
