Hello, My name is Dr. Hu Chunming, I am the owner of the property at 7 Banyan,Foothill Ranch, CA 92610. We have owned the property for 22 years now without any problem or complain from the neighborhood. We had great experience living the property and we can assure that to any of our tenants that will be living in it in the future. We are ready to answer any question regarding our property incase you have any question for us. We are patiently waiting to rent the property to someone that will continue taking good care of it like they owned it. Its single family unit which can occupy 6-8 conveniently. We chose to rent the property out because we no longer live in the area. We recently moved to MN from CA due to our job.

We used to have realtors manage the property for us but had to take it back due to their extra charges.

The house viewing session was completed this week but you can drive by anytime to view the exterior of the property or look through the windows to view some part of the interior and get back to me if satisfied.

I can also have the house secured for you if you are seriously interested and also i can set up an application from here (No application fee)



The property is well Maintained and Equipped with New Range / Oven, Refrigerator, Washer, Dryer.

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.
