Hello



Thanks for your interest regarding our house which is still available for rent,we are looking for a responsible and very neat person or a family whom we could trust and rely on with our property,a family that will handle our property as if it were theirs.We initially had our home for sale but change plans to lease as we left for my husbands new appointment with Chevron oil international which will last a total five years,We lost our previous agent to cancer months back and leaving our home empty is not a good option for us.Our priority isn’t the rent but that our property is well kept as our family will be away for five years or more,thats why we require a responsible and God fearing family whom we can trust and rely on with our property,Though we are not in the country we want you to know we have at heart to provide our tenant the best comfortable means secured mode of dealing but before we proceed;we would like to know more about you,your family,your renting experience,how long you wish occupying the property and when you plan moving in.a photo of you or your family will be greatly appreciated,below is the address of the house for you to go view the environment and exterior,

BEDROOMS:3

BATHROOMS:2 full,1 partial

Size:2,500 sqft

Monthly Rent:$900

The rental price is below the usual not because we want it that way but because my husband and i decided it is the best medium for us to make our tenant understand how important keeping the property in good condition means to us,if you wish to proceed upon receipt of your mail our rental agreement will be attached and more details about us shall be given,YOUR PETS ARE FULLY WELCOME!





Have a wonderful day,

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.
