Hello

Thanks for your email and interest in the property. I personally own the property and also want you to know that it was due to my transfer that made me my kids and wife to leave the property and also want to give it out for rent and looking for a responsible person that can take very good care of it as we are not after the money for the rent but want it to be clean at all time and the person that will rent it to take it as if its own. So for now, We are here in , United State in our new house and also with the keys and documents of the house, we try to look for an agent that we can give this documents before we left but could not see and we are as well as don't want our property to be used any how in our absence that is why we took it along with us. I and my wife came over to United State for a missionary work, so i hope you will promise us to take very good care of the house. kindly get back to me on how you could take care of our house or perhaps experience you have in renting home. The rent fee is included all the utilities , no extra fee for parking, and you can rent it unfurnished.. there are sporting equipment..I am looking forward to hear from you ASAP so that i can forward you an application form to fill out and discuss on how to get the property for rent.
Thanks.

Great. I've received the rent application form from you. I will be very happy to give the place to you to stay. I did fill the rent application form manually and other documents with the given name and address on the form. In the next few minutes, the lease agreement and other documents will be sign and ready for shipping by Next day air. I really want you to take good care of the place and tidy up always. You will need to make security deposit also, which is refundable at the end of tenancy.

If you can make out the money today it will be great so i can hold the place for you, The keys and documents to the place will be ship out today and deliver to your door after 48hours after the payment of the shipment.I want you to send the money via E Transfer. I want you to send it to my wife Etransfer below and once the money receive i will go ahead with the shipment of the package and get back to you with the shipment confirmation.

This is the information: [email protected]

Please do get back to me with the payment confirmation. I will process the shipping once the payment is received.

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.
