Hello,
The address of my apartment is: 677 Degraw Street, Brooklyn - NY and it's very much available for rent. You might be surprised at the fact that i am renting my apartment out at a low price but i want you to know that i am not interested in the financial aspect but i am only interested in a tenant that would take great care of the apartment as if it is his or hers'.
My husband and i are currently not in the States now but serve in Africa as missionaries. Myself and my family and other Native Americans have been missionaries with Global Ministries for a long time now. We served as missionaries in major parts of the world, we now serve as United Methodist missionaries serving in Southern Africa. But we just received a letter to move to west Africa where the need is greater. I want you to know that you can stay in the apartment as long as you would like to stay as we are not planning on moving back into the apartment. But we would be checking up on you once in a while to ensure that the apartment is well taken cared of.
I know you might be weary to deal with someone who is overseas but i would be attaching a link where you can read about me, my family and the work we are doing here. Also, if we come to a conclusion regarding renting the apartment to you, we would also arrange on how to get the Keys and House Documents to you so you can view the apartment before you sign any Document or Lease Agreement.
This is the link to the organization i represent and myself:

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.
