Thanks for your interest about my home. Well, Let me start by introducing myself, although I am very new in this landlord business. However, My names are TERAISHA N WARREN . I and my wife own the house located at (18743 South Lyford Drive, Katy TX 77449) . Due to my job as an accountant, I works for a Switzerland company called NESTLE CO, in USA,and now i have been transfer to West Africa country called Nigeria and to work in a branch in Lagos.

I spent less time in the States 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 in Africa that I decided to rent out the house. However, the initial plan was was to put the house for sale. which I tried, but sometimes the agents
inflates the prize and it takes longer to sell.

The house include the utilities like Heat, A/C in wall/window, Hydro, cable, Garbage Disposal, Fireplace , Fridge, stove,Dishwasher, Dryer, Breakfast Bar,
Dining Table and Sofa Set,Refrigerator,Canopied deck overlooking nature.,internet access e.t.c. because of this reason and more we need a responsible person that can take perfectly good care of it as we are not after the money , but want it to be clean and for you to take it as if it were yours. I hope you will
promise me to take absolutely good care of my home, also i will be coming to state once in three months for visit to see how you are taking care of the home,

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.
