Responded to a rental listing on Trulia and I received the following e-mail. :chuckle:
Thanks for your email and interest in renting my House.My Name is Jesus A Ortiz.I am the owner of the House you are making inquiry of…Actually I resided in the House with my family,Presently my House is still available for rent, (rental ready includes utilities).More so Now,My family and i are currently in the (Nigeria) for an international Christian Followers crusade..Please i want you to note that i spent a lot on my property that i want to give to you for rent,so i will solicit for your absolute maintenance of this House and want you to treat it as your own, It is not the money that is the main problem but i want you to keep it tidy at all time so that i will be glad to see it in a perfect condition when i come for a check up.I also want you to let me have trust in you as i always stand on my word.My wife and i bought the House when we got married.When we left the state I had a thought of selling the House so I have to look for an agent, after getting one,we got a deal but later my wife advised against that.I saw senses in her avicde and i accepted her advise,So I contacted the agent back and requested for my keys and documents.So we Later decided to have the House rent od have given the same agent this job but the truth of the matter is that the agent would want to handle it professionally and the occupant may not be able to rent for rent.We also woulason along with him upon their renting of my House. because of this reason and more we need a responsible person that can take very good care of it as we are not after the money , but want it to be clean and for you to take it as if it were yours.The House is located at XXXXXXXXXXXX.
And the following at the bottom:
NOTE:You may drive by anytime to view the House from the outside and living environment of the House as you won't be able to inspect the Interior of the House because i have the keys/document of the House with me. It is located in a cool, quiet and safe neighborhood.Looking Forward to read back from you with the rental application form so we can proceed.
I am just SO tempted to send him an e-mail that I drove by the place as he recommended, saw lights on, and called the police to report that someone had broken into the house while the owner was away and was occupying the place! And that the police asked me for his e-mail, postal address and telephone number in Nigeria so that they can contact him about the break-in!

:lolling: :lolling: :chuckle:

Nope ... didn't want to compromise my e-mail address any further. Although I suppose that since he has it already (from my original query), it probably does not matter that much anymore.

But, I'd like to avoid him getting revenge by using it at other sites.

SZH I have signed you up for a few email feeds featuring adult men.. would you like to rent my house?

Jesus A Ortiz is in Nigeria? makes sense

//I'm married to a Nigerian in real life and all three of my kids have Nigerian middle names and I have some of the cool African outfits that I seriously wear in public as a 6'3" white guy (can't make stuff like this up)

I guess that makes sense Szh. Or you could always play around with the scamster, and when he gets butt hurt and vengeful, call in Greg and Ace (The Super Detectives)....Though I haven't seen Ace post in a while.
