Was looking at housing rentals on Craigslist and found a too-good-to-be-true ad. 3 bedroom house renting for about 60% of the average.

Answered by email and got discursive response about how the owner had moved to Nigeria and was working with charitable groups on "AIDS, Poverty, Agriculture, Education". You know, all that stuff.

At the end was a long questionnaire requiring all my personal information and some text about the deposit. I had to ask. "So, you want me to wire the deposit to you in Nigeria?".

YH.

I've come across a few of those as well. Just flag it and move on.

Every few months they bust people renting out foreclosed homes they have nothing to do with.

Interesting.........NIGERIAN scam artists......there are unethical people in all races....why nigerian all of the sudden.....just a coincidence???

BTW your comments on the Trayvon Martin case show the work of a D student at community college logic course. Maybe Yakima county material. Nigerians go to Duke and Emory on the regular, become MD's NFL players and NBA players often.....John Bailo and clan....not so much.
