Hello,
I can see you are interested in the ad I have posted, I am currently in Chicago IL where I work as a volunteer with THE MISSIONARY BLOGS. Here is the site for more detail about why I am here (http://www.missionary blogs.com/index.html). I spent less time in the Country so I could not get a hold on any Realtor to handle this rent issue, although it was when I knew how long we are going to stay,i decided to rent out this place. However, the initial plan was to sell Which I tried, but sometimes the agents inflates prices and it takes longer time to be sold, am telling you this in case if you find this place on another website, that is an old advert. Right now i need someone to rent & take care of my property since I am out of the country now and there's no one living in there,I have received some proposals regarding the rent because it is located in a very nice area, the reason is i still have to make sure it is rented out to someone who can is capable,rent includes facilities such as water and heat laundry facilities,air condition,internet and telephone access, car park and other necessary facilities,it also comes with trash ,pets are allowed as well as long as they are not destructive So if you know you are capable of the task,get back to me so that I can provide you with some questions that I would want you to answer.
PS: I will be sending pictures in my next email.
Thanks and God Bless you
I wait your reply

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.
