Hello,
I can see you are interested in the ad I have posted, I am currently in west Africa now with my family where we work as a volunteer with the Missionary, here is the site http://www.ywampenang.org for more details about why we are here in Africa. We spent less time in Toronto so we could not get a hold on any Realtor to handle this rent issue, although it was when we knew how long we are going to stay in Africa that we decided to rent out the apartment. However, the initial plan was to sell out the apartment which we tried, but sometimes the agents inflates the price and it takes longer to sell. We are telling you this in case you find the apartment on another website, that is the old advert. So we need a tenant to take care of it, but since we are out of town, we have received some proposals regarding the rent because it is located in a very good area of Toronto, but we still have to make sure it is rented out to someone who can take good care of it.The keys and the document to the apartment are right here with me and I could send it to you after all necessary agreement has be accepted by my family. It includes facilities such as water and heat laundry facilities, air condition, internet and telephone access and car park and other necessary facilities, also comes with trash collection, pets are allowed as well as long as they are not destructive. We also want you to let us have trust in you as we always stand on our word. So if you know you are capable of the task,get back to me so that we can provide you with some questions that we would want you to answer.
Regards and God bless
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.
