Thank you for showing interest in our house.
I Mr. David and wife Mrs Suzanne Christopher own the 2 bedroom House.It was due to our transfer that made me and my wife to leave the house and we decided to give it out for rent. We are looking for a responsible person that can take good care of our house as we are not after the money for the rent but want our house kept clean at all times and the person that will rent it to take it as if it were its own.
So for now, We are here in West Africa in our new house and also with the keys of the house in Lubbock. We tried looking for an agent that we would hand over the documents before we left but could not see which is why we took it along with us.
I and my wife came over to West Africa for missionary work, so i hope you will promise to take good care of our house. kindly get back to me on how you could take care of our house or perhaps experience you have in renting home. Hope you are okay with the price of US $700 rent and security deposit $300 which includes all utilities.

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.
