The apartment is still available for rent and as furnished or unfurnished there is a storage room in the unit where you can keep our furniture, my husband and i are the owner of the apartment located at (22 Woodhull Lane, Holtsville NY 11742).

Let me tell you little about us. My husband is currently working(A permanent as Executive Vice President and Retail Financial Services portfolios at ATB Financial , Calgary, Canada) I was working as a Medical Doctor here in the state but i finally lost my Job on the month of Jan 18th 2010 due to the accident I had during the envy snow, the accident which almost destroyed most part of my body especially my legs, but I thank God today that I am still alive and i can at least walk again...but I can't talk very well cos the shock are still in my body according to my Doctor, the best way I can communicate is through writing but I believe with God all things are possible, I have the faith in him that I will be healed perfectly it is just a matter of time.
I just relocate to live with my husband cos my doctor said i need his care, maybe he can help me get well soon.

Anyway, my husband his a very busy man that's why i told him that i will find a nice,honest and responsible person for this our lovely home It has been a hard time for us.

The apartment is $700 per month we are asking for 1 month rent and security deposit $700. it comes with all utilities Like + Gas, water and electric, dishwasher and microwave and Laundry. A parking space is available.
The kind of tenant we want is A responsible person, serious and trust worthy, who is willing to pay 1 month rent and a security deposit (your credit does not matter to us). Also someone that can take care of the kitchen, because i loves the kitchen very much...

This person asks for proof that you are able to pay the deposit and rent (for a property that he does not own) due to a string of time wasters.
This proof is in the form of a Western Union, MoneyGram or bank transfer either to him, his lawyer, your friend or a family member.

Sounds safe. It's not!

At other times, this person asks for a deposit payment via Western Union or Moneygram with the promise that they will send the keys through a courier company.

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.
