Hello. Thanks for the response and interest in renting my home, which my wife, i and my daughter occupied before leaving for Europe(Ukraine) and currently in Nigeria. We left on a Mission following God’s call to preach the word and let people of all nations hear about him. My wife and I thought of ourselves and asked God what we would give him and he says we should sacrifice our life and give him the best we can, letting humans know about him. The bible account of Luke 12: 29-31, Don’t seek what you will eat or what you will drink; neither be anxious. For the nations of the world seek after all of these things, but your father knows that you need these things. But seek God’s Kingdom, and all these things will be added to you. We have been trying our best to make the house as clean as possible, because am a clean person and we don’t like dirt around our surroundings. So we are looking for a well-behaved, clean and honest tenant to rent
out our house. So we will like you to give us your word and promise us that you will take good care of our house so that we will be happy when we come to visit you in the future. We would like to work any flexible plan you have on your term of renting, Long or short term or month to month. The home was Formally FOR SALE but we have decided not to sell it anymore till futher notice. Prior to our arriving back we shall be giving a 90 days notice to you if we finally decide to rent to you. We shall be staying for upwards of five to seven years here doing God’s Work. So kindly Get back to us with the application form below.

The thief will tell you that you can rent his accommodation only if you can prove that you have genuine interest. He will ask you send money by wire transfer (normally Western Union) to yourself or a member of the family to show that you have sufficient finances and that you are not a "time waster".
Another variation of this scam is that you need to send (by Western Union) money in order that the keys and other documents can be couriered to you
He will ask you to send him the transfer details.
Make no mistake ! Western Union Transfers can be picked up virtually anywhere in the world and with the minimum of identification. They are almost impossible to trace once the money has been collected. You will never get to see the accommodation or your money 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 Gumtree or similar listing sites. If you receive any requests from 'Landlords' asking for some kind of payment by Western Union 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.
