Thanks for your interest and inquiries about my house,Yes the house is still available for rent and we are looking for a responsible person/family to occupy and maintain the house. Myself and my wife just traveled to New York for an international Christian follower's crusade, Am one of the Coordinator for United State Missionary Organization
We will be away for 2 to 3 years or more that is why I have made up my mind to put up my house for rent to whom ever that will take good care of it. Also how long do you intend to stay? How soon do you intend to move in?

Here are details of the house:
Address:549 166th Ave NE Bellevue, WA 98008 Property type: Single Family
Bedrooms:3 Bathrooms:2 full, 1 partial
Size: 1,320sqft
AMENITIES: Air Conditioning Ceiling Fans
Dishwasher Double Oven
Garbage Disposal Pets Allowed
Storage Washer / Dryer

Monthly rent:$1000 Security Deposit:$800

Note:i am not around to show the inside, you can go check out the house and the neighborhood from the outside and get back to me if you really like it, and let me know if you would want me to forward you the rental application form to fill out.
Feel free to ask any questions you do not understand and i will be looking forward to receive your email as soon as possible.

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.
