Please read carefully, I Bishop Lauri L Armstrong, is the owner of the house you are making enquiry of, actually i resided in the house with my family, mrs Sarah M. Armstrong, happens to be my wife and we are bless with two lovely children. Presently my family and I are in west africa for an International Christian Followers Crusade. On arriving here, we took a great enthusiasm in reaching out to the underprivileged ones here and our aim is to fortify their beliefs in order to keep their hopes alive. Now my house is still available for rent for $600/per month (rent already includes utilities). Please i want you to note that i spent a lot on my property that i want to give to you for rent,so i will solicit for your absolute maintenance of this house and want you to treat it as your own. We are offering this, because as good christian we want to help in any way we can by making the house affordable, so if you do rent from us, please don't let us down in
keeping the house clean always because nothing will make us more happy than seeing our house properly kept clean when we come for check up. We have been finding it difficult to rent it due to we won't be able to see the tenant in person until when we come for check up, but we pray about it and belief we would find someone with a good heart and good intention. There's no third party just my wife and I, we belief we can handle it ourselves and getting the keys and paper work to you is not a problem if we choose you as our potential tenant. God bless you for your understanding. You can also drive by the house!

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.
