Hello Dear,

Thank you very much for taking your time to mail me, i also want to use this time to apologies for not getting back to you on time..How are you doing today? I must tell you that it is my sincere pleasure to write you back and to let you know that the 3bedroom 2bathroom House you are making inquiry of is still available, the monthly fee is $900 and the security deposit is $500 available from now, utilities are Included,Dryer,Washer,Heat, Gas,Light,Water and a secured parking space.Well trained pets are also allowed.Let me quickly introduce myself to you. My name is Suzanne Sanders and my husband name is Rev Jack Sanders my husband is the owner of the House you are making inquiry about but presently he is in San diego,USA. on a missionary work, I was suppose to go with him, but some months before he traveled i had a very serious car accident, that affect my back bone and hearing, now i am using wheel chair and i find it very difficult to talk but i can communicate through email that is why i am always online, so that is the reason why i did not traveled with him, i am staying with my mother in Mexico.

Actually me and my husband both reside in the House before he traveled to San diego,USA for mission of God, so we both agreed to rent/lease our proxy House to somebody that can take proper care of it, if we let he/she rent our House, we will not like to experience what we experienced from our last tenant, he destroyed most of our properties, and i know how much my husband spent to repair the things our last tenant destroyed, to be very honest with you, a whole lot of people are contacting me regarding this House, but i am not sure of who to accept due to our past experience, so I'm taking my time to look for a responsible and a very honest tenant that will take proper care of our home since me and my husband are both far from home, although my husband is a very busy man due to the work he is doing in San diego,USA, but he said if i find a responsible tenant that can promise to take care of our house i should rent it out to him/her.We don't ever want to take the risk of putting our House in care of an agent again, because our last agent just leased our home to somebody that almost destroyed all that my husband has suffered for, since my husband is a very busy person, he said i should be very careful with the kind of person that will rent the house, but if you can assure me that if i let you rent our House, you will take proper care of it. As soon as i hear from you i will send you more information about our House and if my husband is okay with you, Expect to read from you soon, once again thank you very much for the time you took in mailing me i must tell you that i really appreciate it.

And also bellow is the House address, please kindly go and take proper view at the exterior and get back to me with your interest.

(1535 Waring Avenue, Bronx NY 10469)

Thanks and God bless you for your interest.

Yours Sincerely

Suzanne Sanders


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.
