So I live in the Denver area and have been making posts on Craigslist looking for a new place, I posted about one other scammer on this website, (Daniel Coker), but I'm also posting this one because it so closely matches the other scam emails i receive. I did not find anything when I googled his name but i wanted to add it here just in case. here it is.....

Thanks for your email and interest in renting my House.. My name is Kenneth A Marez. I am the owner of the House you are making inquiry of… Actually I resided in the House with my family,Presently my House is still available for rent, (rental ready includes utilities)More so Now, My family and i are currently in (Republic of Benin) for an International Christian Missionary.. Please i want you to note that i spent a lot on my property that i want to give to you for rent so i will solicit for your absolute maintenance of this House and want you to treat it as your own, It is not the money that is the main problem but i want you to keep it tidy at all time so that i will be glad to see it in a perfect condition when i come for a check up. I know how hard is it for someone to earn 1$ nowadays because the money doesn't come easily and that is why I make it fair in putting the rent for so low for someone to be able to afford every month. I also want you to let me have trust in you as i always stand on my word. My Wife and i bought the House when we got married. When we left the state I had a thought of selling the House so I had to look for an agent, after getting one,we got a deal but later my Wife advised against that and saying it is of no use selling the property we just have to rent it out to someone who can take good care of it till we return.The House is available for a Long and short term lease,As long as you wish to rent.I saw senses in her advice and i accepted it. So I contacted the agent back and requested for my keys and documents.I do not work with the property agent any more due to the fact that their charges are very high so am renting my beautiful family home on my own and we seek the best responsible tenant to live and maintain our property. 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.

The House is located at: 1335 S Knox Ct, Denver, CO 80219

Bedroom: 3
Bathroom: 2

As you can see it looks and feels sketchy, any email that has to do with some foreign Spanish country raises my alarms, which is sad because not everyone who lives there is a scammer, oh well.

Welcome to Scamwarners,

This one is also a rental scam.

Benin is actually in West Africa where most of these scams occur.

Any mention of mailing keys, Western Union, Moneygram. Bank transfer and Pre-paid reload it card. Run away as fast as you can.

Make sure you can physically go inside any rental and view it. Make sure you meet the landlord face to face.

Please contacta moferatorstor if you have a question or information about this post.



Please do not tell the scammer he is posted here.


Please remember the fallen. https://www.odmp.org/
