Hello
I can see you are interested in the ad I have pasted, I am
currently in West Africa where I work as a volunteer with the THE
SOUTH & WEST AFRICA MISSION (SWAM), here is the site for more details
about why I am here in Africa (http://www.swa-ministry.com/)
. I spent less time in the States so I could not get a hold on any
Realtor to handle this rent issue, although it was when I knew how
long we are going to stay in Africa that I decided to rent out the
house. However, the initial plan was to sell out the house. which I
tried, but sometimes the agents inflates the price and it takes longer
to sell i am telling you this in case you find the house on another
website, that is the old advert So I need a tenant to take care of it
but since I am out of the state now, I have received some proposals
regarding the rent because it is located in a very good area, but I
still have to make sure it is rented out to someone who can take good
care of it. It includes facilities such as water and heat laundry
facilities, air condition, internet and telephone access and a car
park and other necessary facilities, also comes with trash collection,
pets are allowed as well as long as they are not destructive. So if
you know you are capable of the task,So get back to me with this below
information, Hope you are okay with the price $750 and security
deposit $600. Below is the location.
4148 Twilight Ridge, San Diego CA

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.
