Hello,
Thank you for your reply to my ad in the inquiry of my Apartment for rent. The Apartment is available and in great condition. The Unit is located on 350 Budd Avenue, Campbell, CA 95008 and the offer is $620 monthly. It is a spacious One Bedroom Apartment with One Full Bathroom(with tub). The Living room is Furnished but you could remove them if you are moving-in with your furniture. The kitchen is also fully Packed and there is a store in the unit where unused furniture can be kept. It is up for rent because for the next one year or more, My wife and I are relocating to West Africa to take up a new post.
About myself: I am in my mid ages and i chose that location because of the serene environment and it is close to Amenities. Pets Considered with a $20 deposit. I am a kind and honest 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.
Please Email my wife Elizabeth at ([email protected] ) for she is going to attend to you better. She had a nasty Bike Accident; but I thank God for keeping her. We have already relocated to our new post, So due to her present health condition, she is always indoors at our new home but She would 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.
Thank you and God Bless you,
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.

Thank you for your reply to my husband's request. My husband owns the Apartment, also want you to know that it was due to my husband's transfer that made us to leave the apartment and also want to give it out for rent and looking for a responsible person that can take good care of the apartment for One Year with option of extension.
The utilities included in the rent are the use of: Hydro(Hot & Cold), Air Conditioning/Heater, Dishwasher , Fridge , Stove , Assigned /Secured parking , microwave , Washer , Dryer , Cable /Satellite , Internet connectivity. The utilities listed are part of your monthly rental, so once your rent is paid, you have access to the utilities...
We are in possession of the keys and documentations to the apartment, My Husband's transfer took him and me to West Africa for a Very important Opening and post resumption as a Preacher, so I hope you will promise us to take very good care of the apartment. So get back to me on what you think you could do to care for my Apartment or perhaps experience you have in renting a home.
Hope you are okay with the price per month which includes all the utilities. The upfront deposit is $325 and will be used in the processing of the Documentation keys for delivery to your door step. View pictures of the very place in the attached files. I am looking forward to reading from you ASAP so that I can forward you an application to fill out and discuss on how to get the apartment for rent. If you are interested, please get back to me for the application form.
Thank you for your Care and Hope to read from you soon
Elizabeth
