Subject: Re: $1000 / 3br - Three Bedroom, 2 bath home for rent (vallejo /
benicia)
Hello,
It's my great pleasure that you are interested in our lovely 3BR/2BA Single
Family home for rent. I am Sgt. ROBERT LLOYD the owner of this home former
US Marine Sgt. serving in the 3rd Battalion, 25th Marine Regiment that
Patrols the Anbar province, Iraq.Before now we resided in this home and
presently we have Moved out due to my transfer as a matter of my
profession,where I work as a volunteer with Catholic Revival programmed at
the Ermita de San Antonio (St. Anthony Hermitage)here in Italy(Milan)And my
wife who is a missionary's dealing with Bible Translation and literacy
worldwide.
As soon as we settle down here I had a thought of selling the house so I
have to look for an agent, after getting one, we got a deal but later my
wife advised against that. I reasoned with her and accepted her advise.
So I contacted the agent back and requested for my keys and documents.
Later we decided to have the house rent out, we would have give the same
agent this job also but the truth of the matter is that the agent would want
to handle it professionally and the occupant may not be able to reason along
with him later. If you notice, you will discover that the price we are
offering is far below standard price, this is enough for you to know that we
are not after the rental fee but the absolute care for the property.We will
be serving for a long term and now our home is locked up now and presently
we have found a new home here which we will be staying for a very long which
might last 5 years in
(Spain,Madrid) and presently our lovely home is still available for rent for
($1000)as first month rent and the Security Deposit payment which is
(800)including the utilities like washer,dryer,fireplace,internet access and
garage.
More so,Now that we on Retreat program over here.Please I want you to note
that all we will want is a very honest and neat person,so i will solicit for
your absolute understanding and maintenance of this home and want you to
treat it as your own,i am with the keys and documents here with me which
will be sent to any responsible and interested tenant through FedEx further
more you have to undergo some processes before i could be willing and
convince to let my home to any tenant. The money is not the main problem but
i want you to keep it tidy always. I also want you to let me have trust in
you as i have always stand on my word.

This person asks for a deposit payment via Western Union with a promise that he will send the keys through a courier company.
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 payment to 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.
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 by Western Union 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.
