Good day

just saw your mail which is showing your interest in acquiring my property for rent . first i will like to let you know the property is still much available but there are circumstances that are leading to my wanting to rent it out the property. Recently (about 2 months ago) i just got transferred to another region. my company decided to open a sub division in sub Sahara Africa and i was transferred there as chief operation manager to see and make sure things start up quite well before i can be called back home, i guess the period for such stabilization might take up to 4-7 years as such i decided to sell the house at first, that was when i found an agent whom we both agreed on terms and conditions, this prompted the Realtor agent to place for sale sign on the property that was when my wife and well wishers around started calling and advising me not to sell but rather rent it out so that it can be well catered and cared for before my return. this
prompted why i had to request for my keys and document from the Realtor agent and they are with me presently. i decided to not to involve any agent in renting the house out as this will cost the occupant more money which i don't want as i want the occupant to understand the main aim why i am letting the house out and i feel he/she should get clue of the reason even with the amount i am willing to let it out.
NOTE:THE MAIN AIM OF RENTING IT OUT IS KEEPING THE BUILDING STRUCTURE ALIVE AND IN GOOD CONDITION even you can observe it from the price i am willing to give it out, that it's far below standard renting rate. the aim is only to build a cordial understanding between myself and the renter based on the reason why i am letting it out. definitely,i would be needing your bio data which i guess is the only thing i can use to randomly access you. i would be needing

information such as:

FULL NAME:
MARITAL STATUS:
OCCUPATION:
HOME PHONE NUMBER:
MOBILE NUMBER:
CURRENT ADDRESS STATE,ZIP
REASON FOR LEAVING/WANTING TO LEAVE YOUR PREVIOUS HOME OF RESIDENCE
PREVIOUS RENT
NUMBER OF PEOPLE THAT IS TO LEAVE IN THE HOUSE
DO YOU HAVE A CAR? IF YES HOW MANY
DO YOU HAVE A PET?
WHEN DO YOU PLAN MOVING INTO A NEW HOME

and concerning wanting to view the house, you could go there and take a look at the building surrounding and neighborhood but as for the inside, please note you won't be able to view the inside of my home at the moment as the keys for the house are here with me as at present I am sorry for the inconvenience. ... but as much as possible i will try to send some pictures of the interior of my home I have here.

THANKS MR./MRS Donoghue

the deposit is the same as the rent while the rent is $950, my property is move in ready

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.
