Hello
I can see you are interested in the ad I have posted, I am
currently in West Africa where I work as a volunteer with THE
MISSIONARY BLOGS.Here is the site for more detail about why I am here
in Africa.(http://www.missionary-blogs.com/index.html). spent less
time in the States so I could not get a hold on any Realtor to handle
this rent issue, although it was when I knew how long we are going to
stay in Africa 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 to sell i am telling you this in case if you find the
house on another website, that is the old advert So I need a tenant to
take care of it but since I am out of the state now,I have received
some proposals regarding the rent because it is located in a very nice
area of Round Rock TX but I still have to make sure it is rented out
to someone who can take good care of it. It includes facilities such
as water and heat laundry facilities,air condition,internet and
telephone access and a car park and other necessary facilities,also
comes with trash collection,pets are allowed as well as long as they
are not destructive So if you know you are capable of the task,get
back to me so that I can provide you with some questions that I would
want you to answer.

Here is a video I produced for fund raising efforts:

This person asks for a deposit payment via Western Union, MoneyGram or bank transfer 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.
