Hello,
The rent is $650 monthly and security deposit of $1000 for just rent, for rent to own the rent is $650 and down payment of $1000, to view the house drive by and look through the window or go through the back door to view the inside because I have been transferred to Texas for my new job contract and the bunch of keys is here with me in Texas with the intention of sending it to any interested tenant through fed ex. the house cost $102300, 15 years term to own for rent to own applicant only, every payment goes towards the purchase price of the house. tax and insurance already included.
My initial plan was to sell the house and I involved a local Realtor's as soon as I get a good tenant the for sale sign will be removed, the Realtor's was not honest with me due to this reason I have decided to do rent to own. If the Realtor knows that you contacted me the Realtor will include extra- charges which is 50%. I know people will find it difficult to pay, do not let the Realtor know that you have contacted me to avoid extra charges.
My last tenant took advantage of me, he did not send my payment after I shipped the keys, I can also send you certificate of occupancy so you can be sure the house is under my name, you can also call to confirm from the county office so you can be sure the house is under my name ( DUNKER WENDELL H ) , there are lot of bad people on Craigslist, you can go over and view the house through the window and get back to me if you like it so we can discuss about the contract, the house is located at 1933 W 38th St Davenport IA 52806
Thanks and God bless you

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, MoneyGram or Bank 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.
