And as you know that my husband is in the West Africa (Nigeria) for a mission of God,so i hope you will promise us to take very good care of the flat for us.So get back to me on how you could take care of our house or perhaps experience you have in renting flat.Hope you are okay with the price 250 pounds GBP,i look forward to your hearing so that i can forward you rent application to fill and discuss on how to get the flat for rent,also are you ready to rent it now or when ?, You can't view the flat until you get the keys and documents due to the distance between us.

N:B : We are doing this because of God as a good christian, I had an accident which affected my hearing and my legs, I am currently on a wheel chair right now, I do not use a phone that's why I am always online, you can fill out the rent application below and get back to me as soon as possible.
The thief will tell you that you can rent his accommodation only if you can prove that you have genuine interest. He will ask you send money by wire transfer (normally Western Union) to yourself or a member of the family to show that you have sufficient finances and that you are not a "time waster".
Another variation of this scam is that you need to send (by Western Union) money in order that the keys and other documents can be couriered to you
He will ask you to send him the transfer details.
Make no mistake ! Western Union Transfers can be picked up virtually anywhere in the world and with the minimum of identification. They are almost impossible to trace once the money has been collected. You will never get to see the accommodation or your money 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 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.
