Subject: WHO WANTS THIS HOUSE?
To: Con Warner
Good Morning,
I got your message concerning our house on Craigslist.Sorry for getting back to you so late about the house... My family and i just moved from Daphne AL due to my recent promotion on my job and it involves us needing to rent the house out. We tried selling the house a couple of weeks back but could not due to the fact that the listing company was asking for too much commission, so we now decided to rent it out, and look for a long term lease. We have made the monthly rent significantly low and affordable. If you want more photos of the home, let us know. I am currently working as a counselor for the United States Aid for International Development (US-AID) here in Ohio OH. Please visit http://www.usaid.gov/, you can also support our mission.
Go and have a view of the house and if you love it and ready to rent, we'll have the keys delivered to you so you may go in. I'll also try my best to fly back to Daphne AL if i am giving a break to come and finalize leasing terms with you if not we would come to an agreement on how you would get the Lease, Keys and other occupant document. So far, we have seen a couple of interested families but we shall rent to the best tenant according to our choice. Here is the address to the house 163 Robbins Boulevard, Daphne AL 36526. you can view the home yourself. It is for $600 per month and security deposit of $600. There are some pictures of the interior of the house attached in this mail.

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.
