Room for Rent and other rental scams

This scam is still active. See the email that was sent. They also called and wanted deposit to hold property. The property listed is a real place, but already occupied. The real owners of the property were contacted and knew nothing about the scam. Personal info was removed to protect the owners.

Hi,

Am in receipt of your rental inquiry. $1200 is the monthly rent for the stated property while $1200 for the security deposit (refundable after lease period as long as there are no damages on property after inspection). For immediate move in, a total payment of $2400 is required but if you are not moving in immediately, you would be required to make a down payment of $1200 for the security deposit to hold property till desired move in date.

Currently, am not present in the States to give you a tour of my property due to my contract job offer in the United Kingdom which will last for 5years and I do not have a local representative to show you the house. I did not plan leasing my home but on the second thought I realized it will be better off renting property and have some one cared for it in my absence rather than leaving it empty. If you are interested in renting the property and willing to work with me despite my absence then I would email the necessary papers for the lease to you, for necessary endorsement. Home will be available for lease for a maximum of 5years

My property is in a perfect location, neighborhood is secured, good for growing up kids and the people staying around are also good.

More information of the house is below;

Single Family Home, rent:$1200, security deposit:$1200, 4 Bedrooms, 4 Bathroom, Location: Built in 2007, terms of lease:1-5years, Size: 3,098 sqft, Lot Size: 0.09 acres, Roof: Composition Shingle, Construction: Frame, Exterior Walls: Wood Siding, Dishwasher, Oven(Double), Microwave, refrigerator, A/C: Central, Heating: Central, Heating: Central, Basement: Finished basement and home available for immediate move in.
