Subject: Re: House for Rent
To: Michelle Banks
Greetings
Thanks for your email.. The house is still available. I decided to rent
the house because we are going to spend more time here in Abuja, about 3
years.. Let me start by introducing myself. I must confess that I am
very new in this landlord business..However, My name is Jorge
Ginarte. I own the house, Due
to my job as a Medical Doctor, I works for American Red Cross Lutheran
Hospital Donor Center, and now i have been transfer to Abuja to work
in a branch in Abuja. We spent less time in the States so we could not
get a hold on any Realtor to handle this rent issue, although it was
when We
knew how long we are going to stay in Abuja that We decided to rent out
the house. However, the initial plan was to sale out the house. which
we tried, but sometimes the agents inflates the prize and it takes
longer
to sell. The utilities are included in the rent, 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.
Information about the house below:
The rent is: $600 Security Deposit:
$500
2 Bedroom 1 Bathroom

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.
