Subject: Re: $900 / 4br - Fine 4br 3b single family home for rent! ( Ventnor City, NJ )

The house is located at 633 Kingsley Drive Ventnor City, NJ Is a 4 br 3 ba Unit and is currently available for rent. Which I own and occupied before leaving for West Africa-Nigeria. On the contrary, we have left on a self-Mission, following God's call to preach his Word and let the people of all Nations hear about him, so right now we are on a mission to preach the good news of our Lord; for all the nations to hear.

We are looking for a very 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 to month.

I had a Realtor company help me get a tenant, but they were handling things too professionally and were extorting potential tenants but I haven’t being able to physically visit my home since then so if there realtor sign is still out there do ignore it because I took the contract of their hands and am trying to do this myself, So as a matter of urgency for my travel, I do not want my home to be misused in my absence so I requested for the keys and documents, which they mailed to me. So I hope you will promise me to take very good care of the house always, as that is my main priority. I really do need to get a very well-behaved person; like I said earlier, to take occupancy of my residence, so my mind may be at ease. We shall be staying here for upwards of six years, doing God's Work, a 90 days’ notice shall be given to you prior to our arrival back to the states after six years of our service here in Nigeria. Be informed that at this time there are no furniture’s in the house, the house is vacant and ready for move in.

You can give us a call any time on our cell phone number on 0112347062859608 (Call Anytime)
Rent Fee/Month: $900(Utilities included, except electricity)
One time Security Deposit: $600
Total Move in Cost: $1500

Below are the interior pictures, for you to have an idea how beautiful and spacious it looks, I will like you to drive by the above address and get back to me with your final decision after viewing the interior pictures and exteriors and let me know if you are interested in proceeding with the rental so that I can forward the application form to you.
Waiting to hear from you soon.
Regards
Pastor Susan Pinto


This person asks for a deposit payment via Western Union or MoneyGram with a promise that you can have the keys to a property that does not belong to him.

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.
