Who called from 2348087373876

Going by the name John Johnson. This time it's 4 years in West Africa and his wife persuaded him not to sell. He's now using [email protected] as his contact email.
USE GOOGLE EARTH ON THE ADDRESS HE GIVES YOU AND CHECK IT AGAINST THE CRAIGSLIST PICTURES.  He's known for giving out addresses nearby, but not quite the same place. Ask for two proofs of address to prove he resided there at one time, and also ask for a copy of his property inspection. These are your rights under the law, so see if he'll comply!!

His goal: You wire him money, he sends you fake keys, you drive by the house, see it's for sale and pack up and get ready to move, get to the house only to realize the keys don't work and you've just been screwed over.

Here's the email he sent me:


Hello,

Glad I was able to find this information on here thanks!

His name changes because he uses the actual home owner's name.  I searched the name he used with me and it came up as residing in the house I was looking at renting.  The FBI has been notified and hopefully this will all stop now.

I called this number about a home that was for rent and he responded as Ashley Thompson in the email so I googled the land records and found the home up for sale by a realtor and the owner is actually Cheryl Thompson.  When I called I asked for Ashley, Cheryl and John Chestnut which I saw in this blog and the man answered that he was all three people.  Talk about scams.
