Subject: Re: Single-Family Home for rent - $700 / 3br
Thanks for contacting me in regarding of my home for rent, I owned the home you are interested in. The home is still available for rent, but I will only be interested in renting it out to a very caring person that will take very good care of the home,Due to my job as a Communications Engineering and i work for Communications Engineering Company (CEC) in state,I spent less time in the States, although it was when I knew how long we are going to stay in Benin in Nigeria 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 time to sell the house because of this reason and more we need a responsible person that can take very good care of it..., You can go ahead and view the surrounding of the home and neighborhood area, so i hope you will take very good care of my house, also i will be come in 4 months for visit to see how you are taking care of the home, and if any thing need to be repair in the home and fix it back! You can rent the home for 3 years, Also so let me know your experience, see below for more details about the home.

This person asks for a deposit payment via Western Union or MoneyGram with a promise that you can have the keys to the property.
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.
