Subject: RE: Large 1 Bedroom Bennett Valley Apartment for Rent

Dear Rental,

We really appreciate your interest regarding our apartment, we still have the apartment available for rent and we need some one who can stand on their word and keep it to, My Wife and I are Congenital deafness.my wife and i are currently on a mission in Ukraine,and we really love our job,we travel around the world. Well am giving out my apartment since we are not moving back,and actually we wanted to sell it, but my wife told me not too,that we should rent it out.and we are not after the money, we just want some one that will take proper care of the apartment, during our absence. once beaten twice shy.

All we want is someone who we can put our Trust on and a God-fearing person,i rented my apartment to Mr Rolland Family, i must say am really dissappionted in them, they claim to be very neat and honest.I was asked to send keys and documents to them, for viewing, and they were suppose to send the first month rent and damage deposit, but they did not and they stayed in out apartment for 5 months, and they took advantage of us with the name of the Most High ( GOD ) and we did this out of Trust,which is very bad, they lied to me filling out the rental application form, telling me that they were capable of paying the rent, they also damage some of my properties, which has been fixed now.I am looking for a responsible & clean tenant that will be able to take good care of my apartment.

The apartment is available for long term and short term lease is also accepted.
The apartment Features
ï High Speed Internet
ï In-Suite Laundry
ï Large in-suite storage
ï Cable

Its a spacious and lovely apartment, Utilities are included and Pets are allowed. Kitchen completely equipped, Kettle - Toaster - Dishwasher - Freezer - Microwave - Oven - Dryer - Heat - Water -Washing Machine and Electric.I want you to note that I am a kind and honest man and also I spent a lot on my property that I want to give you for rent, and I would want you to treat it as your own, I would like you to keep it tidy all the time I also want you to let me have trust in you as I always stand on my word,the rental fee per month including utilities for the whole of the apartment.If you really want to rent the property, you will need to provide the below information; and filling out these information has been cleared that you are making payment for the first month rent and Damage Deposit.

Await your reply.
.

This person asks for a deposit payment via Western Union, MoneyGram, pre-paid credit card or bank transfer with a promise that you can have the keys to a property that does not belong to him.

Sounds safe. It's not!

At other times, he will ask for proof that you are able to pay the deposit and rent due to a string of time wasters.
This proof is in the form of a Western Union or MoneyGram payment to a lawyer,a friend or family member.

In either case, if payment is made and you give this person the details, they will collect the money.
You will not hear from them again.

All the details such as names, addresses, pictures etc. that the scammer uses in order to back up his story, are stolen from elsewhere.

If you are reading this because you are looking for property to rent, and you are in contact with this thief you are probably searching Craigslist, Gumtree or similar listing sites. If you receive any requests from 'Landlords' asking for some kind of payment before viewing, then it will also be a scam. Please forward the mail to me at the address in my signature line and I will investigate and list them if necessary.
