Subject: Re: Interested in your rental
To: Con Warner
Hello,
Thanks for your email and interest in renting my house..I am Jennifer Walson,I own the house you making enquiry of.Due to my job as a missionary 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 sale out the apt. which I tried, but sometimes the agents inflates the prize and it takes longer to sell i am telling you this in case if you find the apt on another website, that is the old advert. because of this reason and more we need a responsible person that can take very good care of it as we are not after the money,but want it to be clean and for you to take it as if it were yours.
It has a dramatic entry foyer with ceramic floor. Extremely spacious rooms throughout with lots of big windows...nice and light! New neutral paint and some newer carpet..Very quiet, low traffic area. Appliances included are washer, dryer, oven,dishwasher, new fridge (7/07)...I believe its absolutely a home for you and your family.Utilities include Water,Trash,Sewer,Gas
We want you to keep it tidy all the time so that we shall be glad to see it whenever we are around on a visit.
House Address: 10639 11th Avenue, Hesperia CA
The Monthly Rent is $950 and $750 for Security Deposit

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.
