Hello,

I hope this finds you happy, healthy and well today. The house is available for rent. I am currently in the Texas with my family where we work as a volunteer with the Missionary, here is the site (www.missionfinder.org) for more details about why we are here in the Texas. Our lovely home is still available for lease and we want responsible adults/family who are neat and also believe that they have what it takes to take care of our house as if it were theirs. My wife and I initially had it up for sale but had a change of mind in leasing it out ourselves because the agent that was in charge of our rental property was asking too much of an agent fee and also making it difficult for people who cannot afford the rent, stay away from renting my house.

I will be away with my family for at least 4 to 5 years, will be willing to lease it out to person/family who is willing to assure us of taking absolute care of our home and pay their rent on time. I will start by telling you more in regards of me and my family. I have a daughter named Leslie (20yrs) who graduated as a medical practitioner, she has a lot going for her and she is also down to earth in all that she does to keep us happy. I'm married to a lovely wife who is a member of Joyce Meyer Ministries and we've been married for 23 years.
We will be very pleased if we can find the right tenant to rent our home, a person who is clean and does not tolerate anything that has to do with dirt... we also would like to know more about you and your family, your renting experience and how long and when you plan moving into our home.I have received some proposals regarding the rent because it is located in a very good area,but I still have to make sure it is rented out to someone who can take good care of it.

PROPERTY INFORMATION...........

Pets are welcome!!!

NB: You can drive by the home to see its exterior and it's neighborhood and get back to me for further discussion, any sign post will be removed once i get any responsible tenant so you ignore the sign post and don't bother to contact the agents there for any reason, cause i don’t have any agreement with them anymore.
As soon as you drive by and if you like the location, get back to me for every other necessary detail to complete the rent.

Try and get back to me today so I can forward you the rent questionnaire I would want you to fill out..

I await your reply ASAP.

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.
