Hello,

Thanks for your email and interest in renting my House. I am the owner of the House you are making inquiry of. Actually I resided in the House with my family but Presently my House is still available for rent, (rental ready includes utilities).More so Now, My family and i are currently in the (Massillon Ohio) for an international Christian Followers crusade. That made us leave the house and also want to give it out for rent. We are looking for a responsible and God fearing person who can take very good care of the house in our absence. We are not after the money for the rent but want it to be clean always.
So for now, We are in Massillon and will be staying here for the next 3 to 4 Years in our new house. We are here with the necessary documents because we couldnt stay longer to look for agent. I hope you can promise to take very good care of the House. My wife and i want to give you this great opportunity to rent this house because we made the house inexpensive just because we believed even the poor and rich deserves a home to live. So i hope you will promise us that you will take very good care of the house.The House is located at:18 Pappagallo Pt,Aliso Viejo, CA 92656

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 we get any responsible tenant so you ignore the sign post and don't bother to contact the agents there for any reason, cause we don’t have any agreement with them anymore . As soon as you do so and if you like the location get back to us for the interior pictures and every other necessary detail to complete the rent.


The rental fee is inclusive with utilities and our home is available as at this moment.

Regards and Remain Blessed

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 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.
