just keeps calling my phone.  possibly related to a craigslist scam trying to take peoples money by offering a house to rent for really cheap and then taking their deposit and running.

Same phone number listed on a Craigslist house rental we emailed in TN. We did not call the number due to the reply back to us sounded really "odd".
I'm sure this is a spam email and phone number.

This is a total scam. ALMOST got taken. Wanted me to Western union him money for a deposit on a house. He would not take a check or money order.

What was the craiglist ad for?  I think I might have been looking at the same one - was it for a burnsville rental?

Yes, this number is connected to condo rental scam in Michigan. I am not sure where this # originates, but the name was SprouseB.James. He misuses the name of GOD and says he is about missionary work. We didn't fall for it, GOD gives wisdom to those who ask. I am hoping that people are wise in what they do. Please keep ourselves safe.
