I had inquired about a home in raytown Mo on Craigslist.
I received an email back within that day. I asked to get a walk through of the house before signing anything, Something just didn’t feel right, the so called owner of the home wrote the following when asked for a walkthrough of the home;

I have been transfer here for job on a contract, am spending 2 - 3 years and am planning to buy another house over here., I want you to know that you will not be able to view the inside of the house as the keys are with me here in CALIFORNIA. If you like the house we can now move forward on how to get key sent to you..



I want you to know that I'm satisfied with your profile and also believe l can trust you because l will not like to experience what l experienced from my last tenant again. The following documents are here with me as i couldn't find someone whom i could trust to drop them with for this purpose. But never mind, FedEx next day delivery service will do for that. In doing this you will need to make a security deposit which is refundable (should in case you don't like the house but i'm assuring you that everything is in perfect condition) to enable the shipment of the Keys, document and every other thing you'll be needing to your current address or just let me know where you'll like to recieve it. When do you intend to move in? The rent starts counting when you move in. Here are the contents of the document that needs to be sent.


1) Entrance and the rooms Keys 2) Paper/Permanent house form 3) The house documentary file. 4) Full Description of the house 5) Payment Receipt. As soon as the payment is been confirmed by me, l will go ahead to commence on how the House Keys / Documents will be delivered to your Address, and i will ensure that I book for the 24 hours FedEx next day Delivery service as to enable you receive it on time and get back to you with the Tracking number and the arrival time of the the keys. Let me know when you are ready to make payment.
