Hi

I am very pleased that you wrote concerning our home in : 1920 East Minaret Circle, Reno NV 89523.The house needs no amendment as you can see for yourself in the pictures. I have been receiving a lot of comment on my home but that is not the point because all I wanted is a lovely family that will see my home as theirs and also keep it clean for us as we have always done.I must let you know that the utilities are inclusive with the month rent and the reason why we are not asking for too much was because we want any person or family moving into our home should take absolute care of the utilities and see that the whole house is kept clean and neat.Well I must let you know that if we see how good you take care of our home,we can extend your stay in our home and probably pay you visit once in every three month to ensure that we maintain a good relationship with you and the rest.If i see how good you are maintaining the house, I can extend you staying as long as you can stay.I am renting myself due to bad experience within my Realtor and the tenant who damage my home and it cost me a lot of money putting things back.My home is ready to move in and there is a garage,i can also allow you to stay in my home for as much as you intend in living in our home.There is a washer,dryer,hookup,garbage,refrigerator.Also have basement and internet cable no pet fee.

As you can see we are not around to show you our home but all is in place to allow you move in at your own convenient time, yes my home has air conditioning, I will be sending you the entrance keys and the duplicated copy of the house document for you to go through but you can peek into the window of the house to see the surrounding yourself.If all arrangement is made promptly.I will send you a rental application form as soon as you get back to me through email.I am currently in Washington with my family.i will give you a call.

This certainly has many markers of a scam. (If you want specifics, PM me I don't want to teach scammers who stop by here.)

What email address did this come from and did you check the Headers to see where it is coming from?

I am confident they will want you to pay by Western Union. Do NOT pay by Western Union. You have no recourse when (yes, I said when) the deal goes bad.

Hi delfin,

do you still have the email address the scammer is using? It would help other victims who do a Google search.
Thanks!

Hi Katharina,

This is the email address this person is using, but I am pretty sure he uses more. He changes his name and makes up email addresses and keeps doing the same thing in different states too. I saw one that I think he was the same person but this time was in Washington and I think he used a different name.
