Hello Tenant,
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 but 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 rented out, we would have given 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 discover 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 of the property. The house
includes 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 e.t.c.
because of this reason and more we need a responsible person 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.

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.
