Hello,

We are pleased that you have an interest in our house, Our lovely home is still available for lease and we want responsible adults/family who are neat and also believe that they have what it takes to take care of our house as if it were theirs. My wfe and I initially had it up for sale but had a change of mind in leasing it out ourselves because the agent that was in charge of our rental property was asking too much of an agent fee and also making it difficult for people who cannot afford the rent, stay away from renting my house.

The reason why our house is up for lease is because I got transferred from my place of work to Irving, TX , I will be away with my family for at least 3 to 4 years because of the love I have for them, I have decided not to sell our house and also assuring them that we only have few years to spend here and will be willing to lease it out to person/family who is willing to assure us of taking absolute care of our home and pay their rent on time. I will start by telling you more in regards me and my family. I have a daughter named Leslie (20yrs) who attends University of Irving, TX as a medical student, she has a lot going for her and she is also down to earth in all that she does to keep us happy and when she is back home on vacation, she also assist her mom in the house work when am at work. I work as a Robotic Programmer & Welder/Fitter here in Irving, TX and got married to a lovely wife who is a member of Joyce Meyer Ministries. We will be very pleased if we can find the right tenant to rent our home, a person who is a clean freak and does not tolerate anything that has to do with dirty... We also would like to know more about you and your family, your renting experience and how long and when you plan moving into our home. These 3 bedrooms and 1 baths home are very specious and neat 1,600ft

Below is the rental property address:

So pls get back to me today.

Hello mmmmpsi

Welcome to ScamWarners and well done on recognising the above for the scam that it is. The next email would have started to lay out the scammers plans for using a courier company to get keys to you with your payment going via Western Union.

Please do not tell scammers that they are listed here - it will take them seconds to change their fake details and their new details will not be listed for any future victims to find.

Wow, I almost fell for this scam today. A house for sale by owner, but does not want to sell and would rather rent the property. Same exact email, except the names are different. Rent was 800 per month for a house in Cedar Rapids, IA. The "landlord" sent us a rental application via email and we called the Century 21 agent who was surprised the house was listed as a rental. She asked for copies of the emails and is going to pursue this today. Good grief! I am glad we found this site. Thank you!
