Thanks for your email and interest in renting my house and the quick response.I work as a missionary so we travel a lot to spread the Gospel in most part of Asia and Africa but we are presently in Africa,i came over here with my wife and we are both working in the ministry.We hope our mission will be fulfilled. We just want to make sure that our house is rented out so that we can concentrate on our missionary work. I will like to let you know that i initially wanted to sell the house but my wife advised we rent it out to responsible people.Please i want you to note that i spent a lot on my property so i will solicit for your absolute maintenance of this house and i want you to keep it tidy all the time so that i will be glad to see it neat when i come for a check up.

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.
