USAID works in agriculture, democracy & governance, economic growth,the environment, education, health, global partnerships, and humanitarian assistance in more than 100 countries to provide a better future for all.USAID efforts to foster world-wide economic growth and increased trade,and tackling cross-border issues such as the spread of HIV/AIDS,the ebola crises which is widely spreading and trafficking in persons.To save the live of peoples from primitive death that claims the souls of younger ages as a result of casual sex.There are a host of other threats - ranging from terrorism to infectious disease and violent conflict - that challenge us and the developing nations we seek to help.Here is USAID Web address:-http://www.usaid.gov.This gave us transfer to NEW YORK and i will be away for some time or more and this is why i am actually renting out my house,so if you are interested and will take good care of my house then we will be ready to accept you as our future tenant and family friend. If you really impress me by taking good care of our house then you will be allowed to stay as long as you wish okay.We spent less time in Cape Coral, FL , so we could not get a hold on any Realtor to handle this rent issue, although it was when We knew how long we are going to stay that We decided to rent out the house. However, the initial plan was to sell out the house. which we tried, but sometimes the agents inflated the prize and it takes longer to sell. The utilities are included in the rent, because of this reason and more we need a responsible person that can take very good care of it as we are not after the money , but want it to be clean and for you to take it as if it were yours.

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.
