They had the same posting for a house in Pompano Beach, Florida. I filled out the rental application with some fun language and emailed it back..I signed it F-YOU and made sure to let them know my dad who works for Homeland Security will be intouch with them :)
We are pleased that you have an interest in our house, Our lovely home is still available for lease and we want responsible adults/family who are neat and also believe that they have what it takes to take care of our house as if it were theirs. My wife and I initially had it up for sale but had a change of mind in leasing it out ourselves because the agent that was in charge of our rental property was asking too much of an agent fee and also making it difficult for people who cannot afford the rent, stay away from renting my house.
The reason why our house is up for lease is because I got transferred from my place of work to BALTIMORE MD, I will be away with my family for at least 4 to 5 years because of the love I have for them, I have decided not to sell our house and also assuring them that we only have few years to spend here and will be willing to lease it out to person/family who is willing to assure us of taking absolute care of our home and pay their rent on time. I will start by telling you more in regards me and my family. I have a daughter named Leslie (20yrs) who attends University of BALTIMORE MD as a medical student, she has a lot going for her and she is also down to earth in all that she does to keep us happy and when she is back home on vacation, she also assist her mom in the house work when am at work. I work as a Robotic Programmer & Welder/Fitter here in BALTIMORE MD and got married to a lovely wife who is a member of Joyce Meyer Ministries . We will be very pleased if we can find the right tenant to rent our home, a person who is a clean freak and does not tolerate anything that has to do with dirt... we also would like to know more about you and your family, your renting experience and how long and when you plan moving into our home. These 3 bedrooms and 2 baths home are very specious and neat 1,408 sqft.

I Ended Up Getting In This Deep Before Realizing It Was A Scam, Thanks To This Site. I Really Hope This Helps Others As Well!
I got the same email for Fort Lauderdale, FL I almost fell for it but I was too smart. First I searched the guy's name and couldn't find anything, so then I searched his "personal assistant" with the address he gave me to wire the money to and the address doesn't even exist. He asked to wire money before I even saw the condo, but I did see the pictures he posted and they looked nothing like what the real ones look like since they are luxury apartments which was weird so I did some investigating and went to the condo place myself and talked to the an agent. Turns out that the place is strictly rental and its impossible to have owned the condo. Then I googled the pictures he had put up on the ad and he is using the same three pictures to rent out places in almost every single state on zillow and hotpads, etc. Even the address to the apartment he gave me is the address to the leasing office. What an idiot, he even asks for an MTCN # after wiring the money and that is so that he doesnt have to prove ID to pick up the money. This is the first email I received from him....
