Hello,

I am very grateful at your interest in my ad about the Rent of my home located at
2 Lilian Board Way, Greenford, Middx. UB6 0SB


The flat is available and is in good condition. It goes for £400 monthly it is a 1001 sq.ft 1bdroom flat consisting of a Furnished living room, one full bathroom with a bath tub, a master bedroom with a big bed in the middle big enough to accommodate two people, an equipped kitchen and an empty room that could be used as a store or an office. It is up for rent because for the next one year or so, my wife and I are relocating to West Africa to take up a new post as a priest.

I am in my mid ages and i chose that location because of the serene environment and it is close to Amenities. I am a kind and trust worthy man and i want you to know that the money is not the problem, I just want someone who will take care of my home through the period of the Lease which is between 6months and One Year with option of extension. I am very religious and believe in fair and equal housing opportunities for all.The flat is very close to different train stations and schools.

Please Email my wife Jane at ([email protected]) for she is going to attend to you better. She had a nasty cycling accident; but I thank God for keeping her. So due to her condition, she is at our new home (as i go about the work of God in our new location) as we have already moved but She will give you good info on processing the keys and documents for delivery, the utilities included in the Monthly rent, application form, pictures to the place along with other information on deposits and all.THE flat IS READY IMMEDIATELY.SO PLS GET BACK TO MY WIFE AS SOON AS YOU CAN

Thank you and God bless you,
Joseph

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 lawyer,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.
