I really appreciate your interest on the AD I posted on craigslist.
The house is still available for rent but presently I'm not in the
state.. i am a peace maker i work with united nation secretary general's
campaign, (unite),fortunately i was being transferred to west Africa to
end violence against women, so i have to move quickly down to Africa,i
came over here with my wife and children,because these mission is going
to last for seven(7) years. before we left i had a thought of selling
the house, But after we settle down here in west Africa my
wife advice me to rent it out, instead of selling the house. so I
have to look for an agent, but we couldn't get a trusted one, so we
decide to come down here with the keys and other vital documents. we
will not be coming back home in the next seven to nine years, but i will
be coming home to check on you ones in a year, and see how you do take
good care of our house. but i will check on you by February 2013.
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. I know
there is no way I can be sure that you are the right person to live in
the house because we won't be able to see physical before sending you
the keys and the documents to occupy the space. But I just had a
feeling that anyone who knows what it takes to put the kind of structure
down should know that maintaining a building is mandatory, so if you
belief you can take good care of the house and handle it like yours then
I will be more than happy to let you rent the house.

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.
