Hello,
I have just read your mail, the house in the Craig advert is mine,I and my family recently vacated the resident sequel to my evangelical transfer-outreach to the perishing Africa continent; Presently we are in the WESTERN area of Africa.This lead to my decision of leasing the apartment .I need a responsible person or family with a high decency culture to occupy the apartment for the period of my missionary assignment which will last for about 5 years .
The apartment comprises laundry facilities, air condition, internet and telephone access and car garage and other necessary facilities. I came to West Africa with the keys and document of the apartment to my Missionary assignment since i couldn't find a reliable agent to hand-over the documentations and keys before departing THE STATES,to avoid poor maintenance and management of the facilities in the apartment in my absent.In this regard, I hope you would promise an adequate and proper usage of the apartment?The first month rent ($1200) plus security deposit ($1200) is required before moving in into the apartment. Kindly fill the application below and get back to me ASAP to indicate your interest. Here is the address of where the house is located 24 Abrew Street, Bay Shore NY 11706

I am presently in west Africa,i would be happy if you can promise me that you will take very good care of the place in my absent , cos in the past i had bad experience renting my place because of the nature of my work so i have decided that who ever is going to rent from me will have to deal with me directly.you can call me now my cell phone +2347082388793 OR 0112348080149249.

I think we are gonna get along with each other because i am an easy going person who respects ones privacy but people take advantage of me due to the nature of my work. There won't be any problems with you having a landlord like me because i was raised by strong Christian parents who are late in the early nineties and i have abide with their good qualities from childhood. I think i would have to end my note here, i will be looking forward to read from you later today or as soon
as possible.
Thanks for reading.

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.
