I must confess that I am very very new in this landlord business.However, My name is Patrick A Konecny,I own the house located at (1403 Heritage Club Drive, Greenville SC 29615).Due to my job as a missionary I 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 and i will be here for (3-4 years).. However,the initial plan was to sale out the apt.which I tried, but some times the agents inflates the prize 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. because of this reason and more we need rental rental agreement a responsible person (With good credit) that can take very good care of it as we are not after the money , but want it to be clean and for you to take of it as if it were yours The rent is $600 and $400 for Security Deposit For this 2BR/2BAth/.

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.

The response from his "lawyer", [email protected] ...

How are you? Mr Russell Called me and told you were going to send me an email...There's no one to show the apartment to you in the states because Mr Russell met me for the Job in Nigeria and we are both in Nigeria...You don't have to be skeptic because that is why am employed to do this as a lawyer....You can drive by the house to see the exterior, the address is (317 Polk Street #2, Raleigh NC 27604) You will only see the inside when you have documents to show you are authorized to see the house and keys to the entrance...so you can go ahead and see the exterior and get back to me asap with your application.

Thanks
