reputable agent who can take good care of the house,
I'm willing to rent out the house to a tenant who is able to come up

me that the house will be properly managed.. Concerning the lease,
duration is minimum of 1 yrs or as the tenant pleases. I'm giving out
the property with such a reasonable amount of $1500 a month and $0 for
security deposit Total for you to move in is $1500, all the utilities
are included because I am only paying God back for his kindness and
mercy over me and my family with what I have, that`s why I asked for
such a reasonable amount. It`s also a pride for me to work for him on
a missionary work. If you can assure me that you can take proper care

Thanks for the time and energy writing me, My regards to your family
The thief will tell you that you can rent his accommodation only if you can prove that you have genuine interest. He will ask you send money by wire transfer (normally Western Union) to yourself or a member of the family to show that you have sufficient finances and that you are not a "time waster".
Another variation of this scam is that you need to send money (again via Western Union) in order that the keys and other documents can be couriered to you
He will ask you to send him the transfer details.
Make no mistake ! Western Union Transfers can be picked up virtually anywhere in the world and with the minimum of identification. They are almost impossible to trace once the money has been collected. You will never get to see the accommodation or your money 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 Gumtree or similar listing sites. If you receive any requests from 'Landlords' asking for some kind of payment by Western Union 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.
