To: Con Warner
Hello,
much thanks for the email,my House is very much vacant and available for immediate occupancy and will be rented out to a very serious potential tenant who is willing to take good care of it and all its facilities. Utilities is not an issue as i have paid for 12 Months upfront. Kitchen comes with all brand new stainless Steel appliances also with a Washer and Dryer.
Lawn is mowed every week by the community. My house is being listed for rent by me because i am on a Job Transfer to London, UK . it is being rented out for $700.00 Monthly(Including Utilities) and a deposit of $700.00 all pets are welcome based on negotiable deposits.I want a tenant who will take proper care of it as if he/she owns it. If you fit into this criteria lets further the rental process as fast as possible. The house address is
4909 Alenja Lane Raleigh, NC 27613

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.
Hello,Thanks for your reply as I am already in London, UK for my Job Transfer and that was why i wanted you to contact me directly, but you should go take a look at the house from the outside as soon as you can today preferably, If you like my house please do not Hesitate to get back to me to proceed with the rental Process, because i already have people who are willing to pay the deposit.its a minimum of 12 months Lease. Attached to this email below is the Rental Application. Please fill it out and reply immediately.
