Hello
I can see you are interested in the ad I have posted, I am currently in West Africa where I work as a volunteer with THE MISSIONARY BLOGS.
Here is the site for more detail about why I am here in Africa.(http://www.missionary-blogs.com/index.html). I spent less time in the States so I could not get a hold on any Realtor to handle this rent issue, although it was when I knew how long we are going to stay inAfrica that I decided to rent out the house. However, the initial plan was to sale out the house.
Which I tried, but sometimes the agents inflates the price and it takes longer to sell i am telling you this in case if you find the house on another website, that is the old advert So I need a tenant to take care of it but since I am out of the state now,I have received some proposals regarding the rent because it is located in a very nice area of Ventnor City NJ but I still have to make sure it is rented out to someone who can take good care of it.
It includes facilities such as water and heat laundry facilities,air condition,internet and telephone access and a car park and other necessary facilities,also comes with trash collection,pets are allowed as well as long as they are not destructive.
So if you know you are capable of the task,get back to me so that I can provide you with some questions that I would want you to answer.
Below is the location.
515 North Somerset Avenue, Ventnor City NJ 08406

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.
