Hello dear,


Thanks for your response,i own the house you are interested in,i
want to give it out for rent and It was due to my transfer
that makes me to leave the house and also i wanted to sell the house earlier through some realtor/agent but they didn't handle my property with care and were just after the profit they are going to make from it,so me and my family decided we are going to sell ourself then i was later Advised not to sell it but to rent it out to a responsible tenant,so now i want to give it out for rent and like i said earlier i am looking for a responsible person that would be capable of taking Good care of the home as his or hers, as we are really not after the money for the rent but i want it to be clean and be in a Good condition, and the person that will rent it will have to take the home as if it were his or her own.


So for now,am here in (western Africa) with the keys/documents of
the house which is located at (Address:4145 Glory View Lane, Jackson WY 83001)
You can go and view the house there but you wont be allowed to
go into the house because the Keys and the Document are here with me in
west Africa because we as well don't want our
house to be used any how in our absent that is why we took it along
with us here, and as you know that i am over here in West Africa for a
mission of God so as to preach the word of God to the Africans,
and also to bring the Africans into the membership of GOD`S family,
so i hope you will promise me to take very good care of
our house and if you promise to take care of our house,
the GOD of our father of faith abraham will never let you down,
and will also take care of you in all your endeavors,so let me know your experience.
Hope you are okay with the price of $800 per month & a one time deposit of $500
with hydro,heat laundry facilities,air condition and so on

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.

i want you to know that we have receive the answers to the questions on the application form and we have gone through it as fast as we can because we are very busy here preaching the word of God the little time we are free we have to make use of it as fast as we can moreover we don't really like how the house has been sitting empty so my self my wife have decided to
give you a chance on our house but we are being bothered because i don't know if you are trust worthy but we have to work together in this aspect and please don't use this opportunity to take advantage of us because recently we sent our keys and document to a couple in the state and they lived in our house for about three month without paying the rent money we had to let them know we are going to call the cops on them thats when they ran away with our keys but we had to change the locks so we can have new keys to the house the reason why i am telling you this is just to let you know our past experience because we would not want to go through that same situation again so now let us know if you would be
capable of taking good care of our home and keeping it in good condition for us because we really cherished that home so much also if you are really interested in our house get back to me with your mailing address where the keys and document can be shipped to.......


Thanks very much for your reply and also i can see your willingness in this rent and how is work? Hope great!!!. my wife and i have decided to give you our house, please again take care of the house so that we might be glad when coming to visits you
You are just an accurate example of the fulfillment of psalm 23..which God has promised to make you lie down in grassy pastures and he further says :By well watered resting places He shall conduct you, verse 6 says surely Goodness and mercy shall follow you all the days of your life; And you will dwell in the house of the lord forever and ever.
I have decided to rent this house to you due to your manner of approach and prompt attitude in getting things done.
All i demand from you is to treat my home well and with care. Now this is where we have to work together due to my absents to come view the house together with you.
I will mail the keys to you for your move in. Based on your faith and my faith in you, i know things will work out well.Hebrews 11:1 says "Faith is the assured expectation of things hoped for and the evident demonstration of realities though not beheld”.And also we would like to send the following document to you via the FedEx express service to the address you sent to us and the tracking number will be sent to you so that you can possible occupy our house, Please once again, we are giving you this on trust and do not disappoint us and i promise you that, you will love the house..
I just read a scripture that i feel you should join me in,the bible book of Psalms 71.I feel you should read this with your family with faith full of Hope and do this along with prayer and i do say that God will bless your family.
I will be very busy with Doing God's Work here and would Like to conclude the rental process soon for your move in.My wife had a miscarriage and needs my attention also.
To secure the home for your move in, you would make out the security deposit of $500 today so the keys and document will get to you and you can move in asap You can also call me on +2347044682484.
