Married couple that is part of a international christian follower crusades. The husband supposably was transfered to west Africa and needs to rent out his house for 1000.00 per/month. He said that he will ship me the contract and keys. It sounds too good to be true, DO NOT TRUST ANYONE THAT CANNOT MEET YOU IN PERSON TO RENT A HOUSE! LUCKILY I SAW THE WARNING SIGNS.
READ THIS MESSAGE CAREFULLY AND VERY VERY ATTENTIVELY!! That is what I received on my mail after contacting him...
I WENT TO THAT PLACE AND IT WAS ON SALE. I CALLED THE REALTORS AGENCY AND THEY EXPLAINED ME THAT IT WAS A SCAM

Thanks for the mail, I understand you perfectly and i also understand your concern but i want you to know something and it's true like the bible said"The truth and only the Truth shall set you free,thus says the lord of host".I'm telling you the truth now as a dedicated Christian is against my doctrine to rip people off their money which they labored so hard for, i did not leave my home all the way to West Africa to rip people off their money. I'm a human being like you and i have feelings like you do,i also believe that God is watching every step we take that is why i made the house so inexpensive because i believe everybody deserves a home both the rich and the poor so you don't have to be afraid because i know i can trust you that is why i'm giving you my house based on trust.
You lie. This is a total scam. The same story can be found all over craigslist. You are not a Christian, at least not when you're trying to take people's money.
