Hello,

Thanks for your interest regarding our House. The 3 bedroom is still available for rent, we renting this house to a responsible and neat person or family who has the fear of God and treat the house as his or her own. Well our house has been for sale before my wife advices me to put it out for rent that’s why we put it out for rent.

The main reason why the house is for rent is that I got transfer from my place of work to West Africa to preach the gospel to the unbeliever's and even reaching out good things to the orphanage children, and I will be away for good 3 years or more that is the main reason I had to take my family along with me, and we cant leave the house for 3 good years, that’s why we really want good people that can take very good care of the house so that we will be very happy when we get back home and we will still be good family friends, so if you are interested in taking good care of our house, then my
family will be ready in accepting you as our new tenant who be fully in charge of our house. If you really impress us by taking good care of our house then you will be allowed to stay as long as you wish okay.....This 3 bedrooms and 2 baths is very specious and is 1,100 Square Feet.

Take Note: You can only drive by and view the house from the outside and get back to me with your Rental application form filled out if you are still interested in renting,So i can ship my keys to you for you to be able to view the inside and move in immediately.I would have really love to ship the keys to someone i trust in the state but the only person i have there has just inform me that he traveled to GERMANY for a professional course so i don't have anybody there right now and i don't want to make use of any third party that is why i am handling the property myself..

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 Craigslist, 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.
