Hi,
I did get your response concerning the AD I posted on craigslist. The
house is still available but presently I'm not around.. I did bid for
a portion of petroleum land sometimes ago in West Africa and
fortunately I won the bidding so I have to move quickly down to
Africa to have my company set up because I will still have to rebid
for it in the next 7 years. I came over here with my wife, we both
bought the house when we got married. As soon as we settle down here I
had a thought of selling the house so I have to look for an agent,
after getting one, we got a deal but later my wife advised against
that. She said we may not be able to win the bidding next time, in
other to keep our head when we return that we have to keep the house.
I reasoned with her and accepted her advise. So I contacted the agent
back and requested for my keys and documents. Later we decided to
have the house rent out, we would have give the same agent this job
also but the
truth of the matter is that the agent would want to handle it
professionally and the occupant may not be able to reason along with
him later. If you notice, you will discovered that the price we are
offering is far below standard price, this is enough for you to know
that we are not after the rental fee but the absolute care for the
property. I know there is no way I can be sure that you are the right
person to live in the house because we won't be able to see physical
before sending you the keys and the documents to occupy the space. But
I just had a feeling that anyone who knows what it takes to put the
kind of structure down should know that maintaining a building is
mandatory, so if you belief you can take good care of the house and
handle it like yours then I will be more than happy to let you rent
the house.Please if you are ready now to occupy the house kindly
provide the information below for record purpose

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.
