Thanks for your email but i got your reply a little late.I have just been called up for a new assignment in the U.K about the Swine Flu Epidemic and i just arrived in Essex, England to start my new job, i wont be back any time soon but i still intend renting my place out because i want my home to be kept alive in my absence.

About the place, it is a four bedroom pet friendly house plus a study room with furnished living areas, in-door laundry, two bathroom and a nice back yard area. It is located at 30 Ridge Street, Surry Hills, NSW 2010, not far from public transport, Shopping complex and train station.

About me, I am a statistician working for a reputable organization. I don't smoke or take alcohols but i don't mind people taking that around me. I really need someone to rent the place asap because my job doesn't really give me time to stay around that much. I am not in the country currently but i can ask for a one week leave from work if i get a serious tenant interested in my home as i am with the keys here in the U.K and handing over the keys to you on your move in will be the only reason i will be returning home just for a few days.I couldn't afford to leave the keys to my place behind knowing that i will be away on duty for a while.

I attached pictures of both outside and indoors because the place is locked for now and you can go view the place from outside to see if the place will suit your taste.I wanted to sell the house before since i will be away for a while but later changed my mind renting it out just to keep the place alive. The rental fee is $260 weekly for each room but i am willing to consider reduction of the rental fee if you want to rent the whole place so you have the option of renting either one room or the whole house, all bills are included in the rental fee and down payment for a month is also acceptable.The way i want to rent out my place is more like a house sitting rental process, hope this is understood. Feel free to call on me and my husband in the U.K +447024014895 or FAX +44(0)8447742368 for more details.
Hope to hear from you soon, have a wonderful day.

A scam format in urgent need of updating.

Thanks, for putting this email up, it saved me alot of money, i am full time student so every cent i earn counts... and i was so excited when i recieved a reply for this property, but felt it was too good to be true, hence searched and found this site, which seemed to have such a similar email

Hi,

Thanks for your email but got your reply a little late because i just left Australia for the U.k to start my new job which i have just been called up for. I am an Epidemiologist and my job is to determine how Forensic entomology uses the study of insect and arthropod biology to solve criminal investigations, from death investigations to detecting drugs and poisons. I wont be back any time soon but i still intend renting my place out because i want my home to be kept alive in my absence.

About the place, It is a three bedroom pet friendly house plus a study room with furnished living areas, in-door laundry, bathroom and a nice back yard area. It is located at 8/13 Corben Street, Surry Hills, NSW 2010, Australia, not far from public transport, Shopping complex and train station.

Personally, i do not smoke or take alcohol but i don't mind people taking that around me. I really need someone to rent the place asap because my job won't give me time to take proper care of my place. I am not in the country currently but i can take some time off here if i get a serious tenant interested in renting my home as i am with the smart card and keys over here in the U.k and handing over the smart card and keys to you on your move in day as well as arranging some of our personnel belongs into the storage and also meeting our new tenant will be the reasons i will be returning home.

I attached pictures of both outside and indoors because the place is locked for now and you can go view the place from outside to see if the place will suit your taste. We wanted to sell the house before with the real estate but since its now certain that i will be away for a while i had to change my mind renting it out just to keep the place alive in my absence. The rental fee is $300 weekly for the whole place not per person and all bills are included in the rental fee, down payment for two weeks or a month rent is also acceptable. The way i want to rent out my place is more like a house sitting rental process, hope this is understood. Feel free to call on me and my husband on+447024060629 or send us a text message to+447587616119 and you can as well email us for more details.

AKA (to date) 30th August 2011 Melbourne AUSTRALIA ... "[email protected]"

.. this email was in response to my questions about
"A WELL POSITIONED HOME" advertised on gumtree AUSTRALIA

Thanks for the lovely email, I really appreciate the fact that you are interested in renting my place and we are willing to accept you. I just want to let you know that we wont be staying at the house and the rental lease depends on how long you wish to stay at the home because we don't intend relocating for now and you will have your place to yourself as long as it is kept nice and neat. We are willing to rent the whole house to you for $270 weekly and this includes all bills like water,wireless broadband connection,electricity,gas e.t.c. I am considering this because i do not intend making too much profit in renting out our home which might be a kind of inconvenience to the intending tenant, that's why i informed you that its a kind of house sitting arrangement where my house will be properly taken care of and that matters to me more than the amount for rent to be paid for the place. There is also a garage at the home

To hold the place, you will have to fill and complete an attached residential tenancy form which should be carefully filled,signed and sent to my cousin on her email address on [email protected] so that she can provide you with all necessary details. Kindly note that two weeks rental deposit of $540 is required to secure the place along with a refundable bond deposit of $1100 which is also required as fee for damages according to the rental law but this will be lodged by my cousin to the Residential Tenancies Tribunal, The rental deposit should be made to my cousin bank account which is currently in darwin. Please note that your rental deposit will enable us hold the place for you as there are a lot of people interested in our place and it will also give us an assurance of how serious you are about renting our place because we have had a lot of time wasting rental requests which have amounted to nothing.

Finally, Kindly make sure the agreement form is completed and sent asap for quick processing of your lease document before your intended move in date. Kindly also note that as soon as payment is confirmed, you will be issued a receipt to show confirmation of rental payment along with your move in documents. I will be waiting to hear from you with details. Have a wonderful day and cant wait to welcome you into the house and i am sure you will love the warm reception. Feel free to call or text us anytime.
Thanks,
Jeremiah & Stephanie

Thank you so much for posting this scam, I have also received contact from a couple claiming to be in the same situation (Anne & Richard), willing to rent out their amazing looking house at a very cheap price which I saw advertised on Gumtree. After checking the mobile numbers they provided I was led here which totally confirmed for me that it was in fact a scam. Ive posted what was sent to me below to hopefully stop any one getting stung by these people

Hello Nick,
Thanks for your email and interest. Kindly note that what i meant by house sitting is that my place will be taken care of in my absence and nothing more special to that, hope this is clear now.I want to let you know that i wont be staying at the house so you can rent the whole place as long as it is kept nice and neat. I will appreciate it if you can inform me of the length of stay you require but i will prefer a long term lease due to the fact that i will be here in the U.K for about a year or two. I have the keys here with me but i promise to bring the keys with me to welcome you in on the day of your move in, my word is my bond.

To rent my house, you will have to fill and complete an attached agreement form with the required two weeks rental deposit of $600 and a bond of $1200 is also required along with the two weeks rent to be paid. The completed agreement form and rental deposit will be sent to my cousin Greta Boswyk currently in Darwin on her email address [email protected]. Kindly note that the bond payment requested is refundable when leaving the place, it is just a fee normally required for damages but if nothing is damaged when leaving my house then the bond money will be refunded to you. I will be home to welcome you on arrival to your new home and am sure you will love the warm reception.

You can reach me and my husband on our phone number in the U.K on +447024029855 or send us a text on +447818006586 if you wish to have any further information about the rental procedure. I attached my picture and i will appreciate your picture or any references from you if you have one. Do have a wonderful day, cant wait to meet you to welcome you to your new home.
Best Regards,
Anne & Richard

Unfortunately got caught out by this scum, I was 18 years old and needing a property urgently... This was happening late 2011, was posted on gumtree website for 7 Cain Mews, Mosman Park WA and the name was Stephanie Jeremiah. They got $1520 out of my inheritance from my great uncle passing on. I feel stupid that I forgot that I got scammed by this scum and want to help as much as I can before it happens to someone else. the email that they put up originally was [email protected]

Here is the original message that I received:
