Hi,

Thanks for the email. My name is Kyle Adams the owner of the 2 Bedroom Home you are making enquiry of, I've had so many responses so far, however it is still available but I do have one person who is ahead of you. I'll rent it to whoever puts down the deposit . Rent includes water and garbage. My company sent me overseas and will probably be between Africa, India and the UK for another year or so. The last tenants I had just moved out and my family and friends all live on the east coast so I don't have anyone available to show the place but I can send you pictures of the inside but will have to ship you the keys and papers.

Here is the house address:855 Harrigan Rivermark, Santa Clara CA 95054...Ready for immediate move-in!You can drive down there to take a look at it...i will be willing to rent my Home out for the maximum of 5 years and below.I personally had wanted to sell the house earlier on.But after long time deliberation between me and my wife Elizabeth we finally agreed on renting out the Home, because it was initially to be sold. But I really want you to take good care of the house, as if it were your own Home.

I would want to know how soon you would want to move in, as I will be taking a 1 or 2-month upfront payment which mean the first and last months you will be staying in the house including some utilities (Water, Internet and Garbage). I am asking for $1800 For 2 month upfront payment Or $900 for 1 month upfront payment and I believe we should be able to help ourselves. including utilities because I want you to take a very good care of the house while I am away.

i will like you to go ahead and fill out the rent application form so that will can proceed further and discuss on how to get the the keys and papers sent to you via Dhl or ups e.t.c, also are you ready to rent it now or when?.So here is the Rent Application Form Below..

This person asks for a deposit payment via Western Union with a promise that he will send the keys
through a courier company.

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 payment to 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.

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 Gumtree or similar listing sites. If you receive any requests from
'Landlords' asking for some kind of payment by Western Union 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.
