Subject: Re: $700 / 2br - Beautifully 2 Beds/1Bath Home + Nice Yard and an
Attached Garage (Denver, CO)
Hello,
It's my great pleasure that you are interested in my lovely home for
rent. Actually me and my wife with my daughter resided in this home before
and presently we have reclocate to WEST AFRICA due to my transfer as a
matter of my profession. I work as a volunteer with Evangelical Council of
Financial Accountability (ECFA), here is the site for more detail about why
i am here inWest Africa (www.wycliffe.org <http://www.wycliffe.org/> ) and
my wife who is a missionary working with Bible Translation and literacy
worldwide.
As soon as we settle down here i had a thought of selling the house
but later my wife advised against it. She said we may not be able to win the
bidding next time, in other to keep our head when we return that we have to
keep the house. I reasoned with her and accepted her advise. Later we
decided to have the house rented out. If you notice, you will discovered
that the price we are offering is far below standard market price, this is
enough for you to know that we are not after the rental fee but the absolute
care for our property. I know there is no way i can be sure that you are the
right person to live in my house because we won't be able to meet in
physical before sending you the keys and the documents to occupy the house.
But i just had a feeling that anyone who knows what it takes to put the kind
of structure down should know that maintaining a building is mandatory, so
if you believe you can take good care of the house and handle it like yours
then i will be more than happy to let you rent the house.
House Address: 4501 W Cedar Avenue Denver, CO
Monthly Rent: $ 700
Refundable Security Deposit Payment:$ 500

This person asks for a deposit payment via Western Union or MoneyGram 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 or MoneyGram 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 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.
