Thanks for your interest and inquiries about my Property. Yes the Property is still available for rent and we are looking for a responsible Person/family to occupy and maintain the Place now that we are not around.

I’m now missionary due to my transfer from Work with the (MBF) Medical Benevolence Foundation. MBF with the Presbyterian Church (USA) proclaims and demonstrates the gospel of Jesus Christ by encouraging and supporting the healing ministries of our worldwide partners. Here is our web http://www.mbfoundation.org/missionaries.php . We wanted to sell the house initially but we later changed our mind after we discovered that we wouldn't be spending more than 5 years.

Hope to read from you soon
Thank you and remain blessed.

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.

I've been in contact with this person regarding a property that seems abandoned. The side gate was open, so when i looked inside there was no fridge, no washer/dryer, etc.

The ad states that there's a washer/dryer and a fridge, but doesn't mention there's something in the back yard to add to the value.

He/she won't answer questions, but the cover story is pretty good, I researched a bunch of stuff. It looks like a foreclosure though. No fridge, and it's been empty for a while.

It felt hinky from the beginning, the broken English email with the very American name, and the holding price kept going down, lower and lower.

I'm glad I researched first!
