Thanks for your email and interest
in renting my house..my name is Pastor Farmer I am the owner of the
house you are making inquiry of…Actually I resided in the house with my
family, my wife and my only daughter before and presently we have moved
out due to my transfer from my work now in Warsaw,Poland. Presently my
house is still available for rent, (rent already includes
utilities).More so Now, i am currently in the (West Africa) for an
international Christian follower’s crusade..Pls 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, It is not the money that is the main problem but i want you to keep it tidy all the time so that i will be glad to see it
neat when i come for a check up.I also want you to let me have trust in
you as i always stand on my word. Me and my wife bought the house when
we got married. When we left the state 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. 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. The house include the utilities
like Heat, A/C in wall/window, Hydro, cable, Garbage Disposal, Fireplace , Fridge, stove, Dishwasher, Dryer, Breakfast Bar, Dining Table and
Sofa Set,Refrigerator,Canopied deck overlooking nature.,internet access

that can take very good care of it as we are not after the money , but
want it to be clean and for you to take it as if it were yours.a

The thief will tell you that you can rent his accommodation only if you can prove that you have genuine interest. He will ask you send money by wire transfer (normally Western Union) to yourself or a member of the family to show that you have sufficient finances and that you are not a "time waster".
Another variation of this scam is that you need to send (by Western Union) money in order that the keys and other documents can be couriered to you
He will ask you to send him the transfer details.
Make no mistake ! Western Union Transfers can be picked up virtually anywhere in the world and with the minimum of identification. They are almost impossible to trace once the money has been collected. You will never get to see the accommodation or your money 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 Gumtree or similar listing sites. If you receive any requests from 'Landlords' asking for some kind of payment by Western Union 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.
