Subject: RE: Condo in Burnaby for rent
Thanks for your response, My name is Shandelle ,my husband owned the apartment you are interested in, We want to give it out for rent and looking for a responsible person that can take very good care of the apartment for us…It was due to our transfer that makes us to leave the apartment and also want to give it out for rent and we’re looking for a responsible person that can take very good care of it, as we are not after the money for the rent but want it to be clean at the time and the person that will rent it to take it as if it were its own.
So for now,am here West Africa n our new apartment and also with the keys/documents of the apartment,we try to look for an agent that we can give this document before we left but could not see and we are as well as don’t want our apartment to be used any how in our present that is why we took it along to us here, and as you know that my husband is also here in West Africa and he his a very busy on his contract so you can contact me anytime for more details I will also tell my husband to give you a call ,so i hope you will promise us to take very good care of the apartment.So get back to me on how you could take care of our Condo or perhaps experience you have in renting apartment.

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.
