Greetings!
Thanks for the mail,and sorry for the late response as a matter of fact the house is still available for rent.The reason why i decided to rent the house was because i got a transfer from my work.Let me start by introducing myself.I must confess that I am very new in this landlord business..However, My name is Dr Marvin R Bissonette,i own the house you are making inquire about.Am a Medical Doctor,i works for American Red Cross Lutheran Hospital Donor Center,and now i have been transfer to Abuja to work in a branch in Lagos and we are going to stay in Lagos for like 4 years.
We spent less time in the State so we could not get a hold on any good Realtor to handle this rent issue,although it was when We knew how long we are going to stay in Abuja that We decided to rent out the house, however,the initial plan was to sale out the house,which we tried,but the agent inflates the prize and it takes longer to sell that is why we decided to rent it out.
The utilities are included in the rent, because of this reason and more we need a responsible person that can take very good care of the house as we are not after the money you will be paying,but we want it to be tidy and neat for you to take it as if it were yours.

The thief will tell you that you can rent his accommodation only if you can prove that you have genuine interest. He will ask you send money by wire transfer (normally Western Union) to yourself or a member of the family to show that you have sufficient finances and that you are not a "time waster".
Another variation of this scam is that you need to send (by Western Union) money in order that the keys and other documents can be couriered to you
He will ask you to send him the transfer details.
Make no mistake ! Western Union Transfers can be picked up virtually anywhere in the world and with the minimum of identification. They are almost impossible to trace once the money has been collected. You will never get to see the accommodation or your money 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 Gumtree or similar listing sites. If you receive any requests from 'Landlords' asking for some kind of payment by Western Union 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.
