Subject: Re: $700 / 3br - Updated Home, All Appliances Including Washer and Dryer (Wheat Ridge CO)
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.

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.
