Thanks for contacting us about our Gorgeous Home .The house is still available for rent. I want you to understand that we are not after the money as you already know that its cheaper with the price we intend to give it out but searching for a good person to take good care of our property while we are away, for the prize we agree to negotiate with you (we are believers and love to make things easy for humans like us).I would love to show you round the place and the inside, but am sorry we are presently out of town.I am one of the coordinator of United State Missionary Organization and because of this,i and my family were posted to ATLANTA,GA by the United State Christian Organization for (Worldwide Missionary Outreach).We could not find an honest agent to hand over the place before leaving the state so we decided to post the property online.Please I want you to note that, we are a kind, honest and trustworthy family and also I spent a lot on my property that i want to give to you for rent, so i will solicit for your absolute maintenance of this house and want you to treat it as your own, It is not the money that is the main problem but i want you to keep it tidy all the time so that i will be glad to see it neat when i come for a check up.....I also want you to let me have trust in you as i always stand on my word. You can drive by the house to view it from outside because the keys are right here with me and my family.

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.
