Hello,

Thanks for your interest in my apartment,its very much available for rent. I
am sure you would be asking yourself why my rent is low, that's because am
not too keen
about the rent amount but to whom i am renting the apartment out to. My
intention is to rent my apartment to someone that is responsible,neat and
ready to take great care of the apartment as if it were his or hers. I am
very certain that you would love the comfy of the apartment, it is available
for moving in anytime you are ready to sign the lease.An open viewing was
done yesterday before i had the contractor who renovated it send me the keys
and house documents.

However,anyone interested should
apply via email legally since am out of the
state so we can make arrangement on how viewing and signing the lease can be
done.
I would like you to know that i am giving this home out for rent because i
am among the missionaries posted to West Africa to work for God and would
spend couple of years before i would be through with my assignment here. So
my family and i have decided that we would be moving to our other home in
Washington when we get back to the states,i would like you to complete the

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.

This is to acknowledge your mail,we have reviewed your application form and have finally concluded to rent the apartment to you.we shall stop the advert of this apartment making you our new tenant when you put down the security deposit fee of $600, please once again we need a good replacement of us in the apartment, so that we will be glad when we come at anytime to visit you to know you better.
