Is this a scam?
I was searching on craigslist and so a home for sale by owner in the Lakeland area, I responded to the ad.
Here's the email I received addressed from Kirkland E. Robert:
Hi
I did get your response concerning the AD I posted on craigslist. The house is still available but presently I'm not around.. I did bid for a portion of petroleum land sometimes ago in West Africa and fortunately I won the bidding so I have to move quickly down to Africa to have my company set up because I will still have to rebid for it in the next 10 years. I came over here with my wife, we both built the house when we got married. As soon as we settle down here 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. She said we may not be able to win the bidding next time, in other to keep our head when we return that we have to keep the house. I reasoned with her and accepted her advise. So I contacted the agent back and requested for my keys and documents. Later we decided to have the house rent out because of maintainance, we would have give the same agent this job also but the truth of the matter is that the agent would want to handle it professionally and the occupant may not be able to reason along with me later if I let him or her know that I'm letting it out because of maintainance.. If you notice, you will discovered that the price we are offering is far below standard price, this is enough for you to know that we are not after the rental fee but the maintainance. I know there is no way I can be sure that you are the right person to live in the house because we won't be able to see physical before sending you the keys and the documents to occupy the space. But I just had a feeling that anyone who knows what it takes to put the kind of structure down should know that maintaining a building is mandatory, so if you belief you can take good care of the house and handle it like yours then I will be more than happy to let you rent the house.The House rent is $700 and the security deposit payment is $700
Please if you are ready now to occupy the house and believe you can assist us in maintaining the house, kindly provide the information below for record purpose

Mr. Kirkland E. Robert
I am pleased at the condition of your house and drove by it today but am shipping out to venezuala to minister to Giant Amazonian Spiders. I would like you to send the keys and documents to my agent Nassapoor Nahiggerman and will pay you with a Cashiers check as this will ensure your head is not lost to this transaction.
unfortuneately the cashiers check is for $7200 U.S. dollars American and I need you to deposit the check and
send the remaining amount to my mentioned agent of house buying of Nassapoor Nahiggerman at address which will ensue:

Looks good to me. But hurry. They moved up the schedule. Dad has to be in Africa at the end of next week. Send in the money before someone snakes that house out from under you.
