Subject: $600 / 2br - 2bed 2bath home for rent.. (Whittier, CA)
To: Con Warner
The house on 6260 Canobie Avenue, Whittier CA 90601 is a 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms Single-Family Home. Which My wife and I occupied before leaving for Nigeria. We left on a self Mission following God's Call to Preach the Word and Let people of all Nations Hear About Him.
We are looking for a well-behaved, clean and honest tenant to rent out our house.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 are willing to work on any flexible plan you may have on your term of renting,Long or short term or month by month.
I had a Realtor company help me get a tenant, but they were handling things too professionally and were extorting the tenants, so i took the job of their hands and tried doing this my self, but couldn't find any tenant while I was still in the state as at last week. so as a matter of urgency for my travel, I do not want my home to be misused in my absence, I decided to take the keys and documents along with me. So I hope you will promise me to take very good care of the house always. I really do need to get a very well-behaved person to take occupancy of my house and take good care of it for me.We shall be staying for upwards of five years here doing God's Work,a 90 days notice shall be given to you prior to our arrival back to the states after five years of service here in Nigeria.
As regards furniture,if tenant would be bringing in furniture,ours will be taken to storage while cost of storage will be paid by us.If tenant wants to use ours,tenant will be allowed to use.You can give us a call on our cell phone number on +2347043078325 or 0112347043078325. ( Call Anytime )
Rent Fee/Month : $600

Here is the address of the Home you can drive by and view the exteriors and surroundings and get back to me if you are really interested 6260 Canobie Avenue, Whittier CA 90601.

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.
Thanks for your response, Your attitude to getting things done is more than enough reason for us to rent to you. We want to rent our home and would have Loved to rent to someone who would Move in sooner. I will be very busy with the work of the Lord and will Like to conclude the rental process soon.We intend Mailing the package to include keys and lease for your move down to an address which you shall be providing to us so that you can have access to the inside.
In the event of anything needing repair, I expect the tenant to fix it as there is no management company for the house now. The money spent will be deducted from the next months rent.(NOTE. This arrangement will be temporary as I will be coming to the States in some couple of months time,when I do come I will then contract a new management company for the house, this will not affect the rent)I must say that you are very lucky because after i discuss this issue with my wife she told me to give you the property,and right now,we are not planing to come back till next four years,you can stay there as long as you want. Right now,the property is locked and I'm with the keys here, i will ship the keys and documents through FedEx to your address so that you can occupy the property.
Since you can only afford $200 for the security deposit i don't have any problem with that because it will be refunded back to you once you are vacating the premises and it wiill be alot eaiser to pay back. Also let me know if you have the first month rent and the 200 security deposit so we can start the process asap.
Just as you know we are missionaries,we live on donations and so cost of running around and mailing is a burden to us. You should note that the security deposit is 100% refundable upon request. Rent start counting only after you move in to our home.
If this is okay I will like you to fill the form and email it back to me asap for processing.
