Hello,

Thanks for your interest regarding my house, yes the house is available for rent and ready for move in. i have decided to rent the house because we are going to spend more time here in michigan. My family and I will be here for about 5 years due to the nature of my job international followers of the Christian faith. Let me start by introducing myself, i must confess I am very new in this landlord business. However, I own the house located at 14921 Sydney Avenue, Fontana CA 92336. 4bed, 3full bath, 2,328 sqft Single-Family Home.

The rent is $1000 and move-in cost security deposit is $700.
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 do so and if you like the location, get back to me for every other necessary detail to complete the rent and application.

So pls get back to me today.
I await your reply ASAP.
The rental fee is inclusive with utilities and my home is available as at this moment.

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.
