This email is long, but renting it is important to you, and I want to try and give you some insight into who I am and about the home you are renting.


I don’t know you personally, but this is overwhelming and you are in my prayers!




About me: Eng Chen Piperno l, I don’t drink and I don’t smoke. I am currently 45 years old and married I have only one child.. I enjoy movies, sports, reading and working out. I’m interesting in a good tenant that will consider the home as his/her personal home and take good care of it.






I am the owner of the home you are making enquiry of. Actually I resided in the property with my family, Such as my wife and my only daughter before and presently we had packed out of the home due to my transfer from my working place to one of my branch in Edmonton Canada and My wife ,moved to my new apartment in Edmonton Canada so she is with the keys and document and i have a very big project to handle here and this is going to take me a long time, Presently my home is still available for rent , Including the utilities like hydro,washer , etc. Pls i want you to note that, I am a kind and honest man and also i spent alot on my property that i want to give you for rent, So i will solicit for your absolute maintenance of this home and want you to treat it as your own, Is that taken,it is not the money the main problem but want you to keep it tidy all the time so that i will be glad to see it neat when i came for a check up. I do that once in a while, I also want you to let me have trust in you as i always stand on my word.

Thank so much for your interest and you are welcome


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.
