Hello dear
Good day i can see your interest and willingness our home.
it was due to our urgent transfer we got to west Africa .where I work as a volunteer with the THE SOUTH & WEST AFRICA MISSION (SWAM), here is the site for more details about why I am here in Africa (http://www.swa-ministry.com/).I spent less time in the States so I could not get a hold on any Realtor to handle this rent issue, but my initial plan, was to sell out the house.
which I tried, but sometimes the agents inflates the price and it takes longer to sell i am telling you this in case you find the house on another website,that is the old advert So I need a tenant to take care of it but since I am out of the state now, I have received some proposals regarding the rent because it is located in a very good area of Glen Cove, but I still have to make sure it is rented out to someone who can take good care of it.
It includes facilities such as water and heat laundry facilities, air condition, internet and telephone access and a car park and other necessary facilities, also comes with trash collection,pets are allowed as well as long as they are not destructive.
so that really why we renting it out cause we don't want it to be sitting empty an we really want it to be in a good condition as we really not after the month rent but after the welfare of our home ,
So if you know you are capable of the task,So get back to me with this below information, Hope you are okay with the price $600
per month and security deposit $800. Below is the address : 17 Pearsall Avenue, Glen Cove NY 11542

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.
