To: Con Warner
Anterio ,the house is still available for rent, the total Security Deposit cost is ($500),all Utilities are already included in the rent which is $590 a month and not 595, i would love to show you round the house and the inside but sorry we are presently out of town, we are with the keys, i’m one of the coordinator United State Missionary Organization and decided to rent/lease our house because i have been posted to (Benin Republic) by the United State Christian Organization for (Worldwide Missionary Outreach).
We are now in Benin Republic for the Missionary work; we had a thought of selling the house and later changed mind to rent it out since we are still coming back some times three years or more, so i have ordered them to stop all advertisement and remove it from the market about the home for sale and that will be effective ASAP, so i wouldn't want that to boarder you at all, we could not find an agent to handle the home before leaving so i and my family decided to post the advert online. so if you are still interested in my home i will send the keys and documents of the house to you via the FedEx Courier Shipping Delivering Company to the address you will send to me and the tracking number will be sent to you, once again, we are going to rent the house to you on trust and believing that you will take good care of the home as if it's yours, meanwhile i will appreciate your assurance to take good care of the home, so i will send you the below keys and documents.
Here are the contents of the documents.
1) Entrance and the rooms Keys
2) Paper/Permanent house form (Containing your reference details)
3) The house documentary files.
4) Payment Receipt.
5) Full address and description of the house.
Get back to me with your contact address where the keys and the documents of the house will be send to you.
God bless you

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.
