Hello,

We are pleased that you have an interest in our house, Our lovely home is still available for lease and we want responsible adults/family who are neat and also believe that they have what it takes to take care of our house as if it were theirs. My wife and I initially had it up for sale but had a change of mind in leasing it out ourselves because the agent that was in charge of our rental property was asking too much of an agent fee and also making it difficult for people who cannot afford the rent, stay away from renting my house.

The reason why our house is up for lease is because I got transferred from my place of work to Alexandra AK , I will be away with my family for at least 4 to 5 years because of the love I have for them, I have decided not to sell our house and also assuring them that we only have few years to spend here and will be willing to lease it out to person/family who is willing to assure us of taking absolute care of our home and pay their rent on time. I will start by telling you more in regards me and my family. I have a daughter named Leslie (20yrs) who attends University of Alexandra AK as a medical student, she has a lot going for her and she is also down to earth in all that she does to keep us happy and when she is back home on vacation, she also assist her mom in the house work when am at work. I work as a Robotic Programmer & Welder/Fitter here in Alexandra AK and got married to a lovely wife who is a member of Joyce Meyer Ministries . We will be very pleased if we can find the right tenant to rent our home, a person who is a clean freak and does not tolerate anything that has to do with dirt... we also would like to know more about you and your family, your renting experience and how long and when you plan moving into our home. These 3 bedrooms and 1 baths home are very specious and neat 1,244sqft.

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.

We received the exact same letter, although at this point and with so many out there, don't waste our time on "to good to be true" rental ad postings, simply replying "please send me more information" with a minor detail or two. "I was called away on a humanitarian mission and need a responsible party to take care of my house." 3 of 4 craigslist postings turn out to have some kind of angle, and unfortunately with a seller's market on rentals in Northern Colorado, the real ones or property agents/managers don't even bother to respond back. We were hoping that moving to Colorado would be different, a more honest, trustworthy environment. Ah, well... One thing a little disconcerting, though, is this guy's English is far superior to most of the ones I've seen the last few years.

Welcome to ScamWarners memoryguru. Scammers post every place they can. They do not necessarily live where they post. In fact, the scammer is not ever where they claim to be. Don't judge Northern Colorado by the scammer posts on Craigslist.

Please feel free to ask questions, we are happy to help you sort out the good from the scam.
