Hello,

Am very sorry for the late respond, i must confess that am new in this landlord business..
However, My name is James Clark,I own the house located at (262 Thompson St,Alpharetta, GA 30009). Due to my job as a missionary I spent less time in the States so I could not get a hold on any Realtor to handle this rent issue, although it was when I knew how long we are going to stay in Beaumont California that I decided to rent out the house. However, the initial plan was to sale out the apt. which I tried, but sometimes the agents inflates the prize and it takes longer to sell i am telling you this in case if you find the house on another website, that is the old advert. because of this reason and more we need a responsible person (With good credit) that can take very good care of it as we are not after the money , but want it to be clean and for you to take it as if it were yours.

Note : The rent are including the Utilities are intact such as Dishwasher,Dryer, Electric
Stove, Fridge, Washer,Air Condition,Sewage,Trash,all included in the monthly rent,as i am
in a governmental programmer that sponsors my utilities on monthly basis etc.Please note that, we are a kind and honest family,that spent a lot on property that is available for
rent, so in one accord,we are soliciting for your absolute maintenance of this house and
want you to treat it as your own.We want you to keep it tidy all the time so that we shall
be glad to see it whenever we are around on a visit.

Yes, it's a scam. The writing is that of a West African and not someone in the USA and the whole story about FedEx sending contract etc is a regular scam format.

Just delete his mails and don't respond any further.

Please do not tell scammers that they are listed here - it will take them seconds to change their fake details and their new details will not be listed for any future victims to find.
