Hello,

Thanks for making inquiry about my house. I will want you to understand that the main reason why i am renting out my house is for it to be taking care of and not for money making purpose and that is why it is so cheap and i will want you to promise me that you will take good care of the house for me if I rent it out to you.

In case you see any sign board, they are the realtor in charge of my house before I decided to take over by my self. I am no more working with them and don't bother to contact them because formerly i wanted to sell the house before me and my Lovely Family now decided to rent it out instead of selling it out.

Features:

Air Condition Dishwasher Walk-in Closet Fireplace
Disposal Fitness Center Microwave Refrigerator
Security Storage Washer/Dryer High Speed Internet

Rent Includes: Electricity, Garbage, Telephone, Water, Cable, High Speed Internet, Gas etc.

Bed: 2 Rent: $600 My house will be available for like 5 years or more
Bath: 1 full, Deposit: $600 Address: 807 South Bouldin Street, Baltimore MD 21224
Type: Single-Family Home Section 8:NO Pets Cats and Dogs are ok
Size: 1,360 sqft

I will want you to take a drive by the house and if you are pleased with the House, i will want you to email me back so that i can forward the RENT APPLICATION FORM to you to fill, I will advise you not to start roaming about my house because securities are watching over my house and you can be caught and you might fall into one problem or the other. Be warned.

ABOUT ME: I am Marry Ben, the owner of the house. I left USA with my Family for UK and from UK I was transferred to the West to supervise a spread, The message and not the virus project, organized by an individual, my Family and Co. since then I reside in one of the west African country (NIGERIA) and I will be staying here for a very long time because the people around here still needs to be enlightened on what HIV/AIDS and TUBERCULOSIS is all about.

You can reach me @ +234-807-076-7518 Or (011)-234-807-076-7518

I await your response ASAP.

God Bless.


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.
