I appreciate your response with your interest in renting from me. The house is still available with rent of $700, security deposit of $600 and pet deposit of $80. The house is a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom with lots of appliance for your use. Its a lovely home & you'll enjoy living there with your family. I am RON and my wife name is KATE , i survived a fatal car accident some couple of months ago resulting to the lost of my hearing & also fracture on my legs, am on a wheel chair as of now. My wife currently works in Spain now as a nurse , so am now with my parent here in MO US for more care & treatment. she instructed me to find a good tenant to take care of our home since i will be moving there with him later because his contract got extended.
Kindly tell me how you could take care of our house or perhaps the experience you have in renting house. Also a little about yourself if you're going to be our new tenant which is part of the reason why am not going through any rental agent anymore due to there act of greed. I will be looking forward to hear back from you if you're still interested in our house, so that i can forward you the Rental application to fill out and discuss on how to get the house for rent. More-so are you ready to rent it now or when ?

Await your reply
Thanks

Hello, thanks for your interest in renting my house and also for your email. Like i told you earlier in my email that am currently here for treatment, so i want you to go and check out exterior part of the house, look inside through the window. Disregard any rental sign you see around the house, am no more employing the service of the rental agent because of their act of greed. Am not sure if the sign has been removed yet or not. So kindly get back to me after you have seen the house & if you're still interested so that i can forward you the Rental application form and also proceed with the renting process

Await your reply
Thanks

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.
