My boyfriend found a very similar scam on crAigslist for a 500 dollar garden apartment owned by a family that had to relocate to Africa.
The "application" was almost identical to this one. It asked for his DOB, address and pictures of his family..and before I could tell him not to reply he did. Sending all of our personal info to a complete stranger including pictures of us and our dogs!
Should I be worried about what this person could do with our info??

I posted a FSBO 8-years ago before sold the house. To this day I still get the same type of query from the same person who lives on the Ivory Coast. It is a scam.

my realtor mentioned that she had some clients who would go with these emails.
They'd get papers and get a permission to change the locks etc, just to be met by the actual owners who were on an extended vacation.
