Subject: Re: lakefront house
Thanks for the mail and I got your reply in your interest in my house. My name is Paul. The house is still available for rent but presently I'm not around.. I was called for a 5yrs contract in China and So i have to move quickly down here in (China)to set up my contract and Move close to my wife's family and I move over here with my wife,we get the house when we got married. As soon as we are settling down here, I had a thought of selling the house so I have to look for an agent after getting one, we got a deal but later he try to scam us and forge some documents to win the house because we send the keys to him and we later go to court and get the house back, so my wife advised against that we should rent the place out in other to keep our head In-case we will be returning back to the City because we will be here for 5-6yrs and she insist that we have to keep the house because she really Love the place.I reasoned with her and accept her advise. So I contact the agent we gave the job back and request for my keys and documents, because we don't want get into another problem again so i am handling the renting myself Until We have the house rent out, we could have gave a friend of ours to handle it for us but the truth of the matter is that the he is not going to be handling it professionally and the occupant may not be able to reason along with him. 2, He his traveling out of the country soon for a missionary trip and three he don't know the type of person we are looking for because we really need a person that will take excellent care of the house and If you notice, you will discovered that the price we are giving out the rent is so low and far below standard price,this is enough for you to know that we are not after the rental fee, all we are after is to find someone that will take absolute care of the property for us. I know there is no way I can be sure that you are the right person to live in the house because we won't be able to see physical before sending you the keys and the documents to occupy the space. But I just had a feeling that anyone who knows what it takes to put the kind of structure down should know that maintaining a building is mandatory, so if you belief you can take good care of the house and handle it like yours then I will be more than happy to let you rent the house if you can promise me & my family that you will sure take very good care of the house for us as if it was your own.

The thief will tell you that you can rent his accommodation only if you can prove that you have genuine interest. He will ask you send money by wire transfer (normally Western Union) to yourself or a member of the family to show that you have sufficient finances and that you are not a "time waster".
Another variation of this scam is that you need to send (by Western Union) money in order that the keys and other documents can be couriered to you
He will ask you to send him the transfer details.
Make no mistake ! Western Union Transfers can be picked up virtually anywhere in the world and with the minimum of identification. They are almost impossible to trace once the money has been collected. You will never get to see the accommodation or your money 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 Gumtree or similar listing sites. If you receive any requests from 'Landlords' asking for some kind of payment by Western Union 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.
