Greetings
Thanks for your email.. The house is still available. I decided to
rent the house because we are going to spend more time here in Abuja,
about 3 years.. Let me start by introducing myself. I must confess
that I am very new in this landlord business..However, My name is
Timothy J Buttke. I own the house, Due to my job as a Medical Doctor,
I works for American Red Cross Lutheran Hospital Donor Center, and now
i have been transfer to Abuja to work in a branch in Abuja. We spent
less time in the States so we could not get a hold on any Realtor to
handle this rent issue, although it was when We knew how long we are
going to stay in Abuja that We decided to rent out the house. However,
the initial plan was to sale out the house. which we tried, but
sometimes the agents inflates the prize and it takes longer to sell.
The utilities are included in the rent, because of this reason and
more we need a responsible person that can take very 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.
Information about the house below:
The rent is: $1200 Security Deposit: $600
2 Bedroom 2 Bathroom
Address:(122 Greenmoor Irvine, CA 92614)

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.
