Hi Everyone. Scamvictims united helped me catch scam a few weeks ago when i entered a paragraph from e-mail into google and this website came up. This time, google didnt help because the scammers are getting smarter and actually change the body of the e-mail. This scammer messed up as they sent me a similar message with the same formatting (italics)from 2 different names. My brother (who is a computer geek) checked the originating IP of both e-mail which happened to be the same (shocker!) and happened to be from Nigeria.
Here's both e-mails and the IP address. I hope this helps.

Good day,
I am Jennifer. I came across your ad on the website and I am interested in renting your unit. I would like to know when the lease is expected to start and for how long?. I would also like to know if the place is still available for rent. Thanks.
Jennifer
