Subject: Re: Room for rent
Thanks for the email and it is my gladness hearing from you. I am the owner of the apartment you are inquiring about. Actually i resided in the apartment with my family and my wife & my only daughter before but later packed due to my transfer from my working place on a Christian missionary work and now situated in (Ohio Miamisburg ) and presently my apartment is still available for rent.Including the utilities like hydro, washer and security, it's fully furnished. In my opinion,money is not the most important thing right now but rather your ability to keep the unit tidy at all time, Because it will gladen my heart to see it neat when ever i come for a check up.
PLEASE KINDLY COMPLETE THE RENTAL APPLICATION FORM BELOW..(If you wish to proceed)
Also, Pls let me get this answer.

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.
