This person asks for a deposit payment via Western Union, MoneyGram, pre-paid credit card or bank transfer with a promise that you can have the keys to a property that does not belong to him.

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 lawyer,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.

All the details such as names, addresses, pictures etc. that the scammer uses in order to back up his story, are stolen from elsewhere.

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.

I think this is the same guy I've been emailing back and forth.

Definitely a scam, refuses to meet in person or show the actual property until you send money and will not answer any questions just keeps talking in circles. Also gave me an attitude when I asked for his name. Said he signed it with the application form "don't you read carefully?" (Lol) The name he used to sign was Lena Ranone.

The number listed on the application form is 762-233-0297.

I googled this number and it seems like alot of people have caught on to it. However I also came across this German bridal dress website with that number attached. Not sure if he just stole the number or if its connected somehow.

The email he used was [email protected]

He posted a bunch of other listings within the same area which had to be him (too good to be true) I reported all of the listings and went as far as reporting him to the federal bureau but it doesn't help that he won't share his name.

This was the original email:


Hello sorry for the late response,

We are pleased that you have an interest in our house, Our lovely home is still available for lease and we want a responsible adults/family who are neat and also believe that they have what it takes to take good care of our house as if it were theirs. My wife and I initially had it up for sale but had a change of mind in leasing it out ourselves because the agent that was in charge of our rental property was asking too much of an agent fee and also making it difficult for people who cannot afford the rent, stay away from renting my house.

The reason why our house is up for lease is because I got transferred from my place of work to OHIO. I will be away with my family for at least 10 to 15 years because of the love I have for them, I have decided not to sell our house and also assuring them that we only have few years to spend here and will be willing to lease it out to person/family who is willing to assure us of taking absolute care of our home and pay their rent on time. I will start by telling you more in regards me and my family. I have a twin daughters named Leslie and Lydia (10 years old).

I work as a Construction Engineer here in OHIO and got married to a lovely wife. We will be very pleased if we can find the right tenant to rent our home, a person who is a clean freak and does not tolerate anything that has to do with dirt... We also would like to know more about you and your family, your renting experience and how long and when you plan moving into our home. Drive by Immediately and take a look at the house neighborhood and environs so that we could proceed.

There is also a rent to own option on the house.

House Address
171 Broadway, Lynn, MA
Monthly Fee $1000
Security Deposit: $1000

Pets Allowed: Yes

Available: Available Now for move in.

So pls get back to me today.
I await your reply ASAP.

The rental fee is inclusive with utilities and my home available as at this moment. As soon as you get back to me I will email a rental application form for you to fill and get back to us with your information so that we can know you better.

So please get back to me today.I await your reply ASAP.
