Hi,
The house has 3 bedroom and it cost $750 p/m, and its still available, so i m willing to rent out.. Firstly i will like to know how long you want to stay in my house, because i'm giving out this house because presently I'm not around.. I did bid for a portion of petroleum land sometimes ago in West Africa, and fortunately I won the bidding, so I have to move quickly down to Africa to have my company set up, because I will still have to bid again for it in the next 10 years.

I came over here with my wife, we both bought the house when we got married. As soon as we settle 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 my wife advised against that. She said we may not be able to win the bidding next time, in other to keep our head when we return that we have to keep the house. I reasoned with her and accepted her advice. So I contacted the agent back and requested for my keys and documents.

Later we decided to have the house rent out, we would have given the same agent this job also but the truth of the matter is that the agent would want to handle it professionally and the occupant may not be able to reason along with him later.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.

However, 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 believe 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.I will be renting it out for a long time now, as long as you want to stay,It cost $750 per month which include the utilities in the house. The room is spacious furnished bedroom, hardwood floor plus secured parking, close to schools and major shopping malls. Comes Furnished with: ***Washer & Dryer, fridge and Stove, TV, Internet,AC,Heater,cooker and lot more.

The house is located in a very peaceful and cool environment, it is a 3 bedroom with a kitchen, toilet and bathroom and a living room,So is $750 per month with a security deposit of $750 which is refundable at the end of your stay if nothing is damaged from my properties, also the house is located at:-
2551 Bascom Drive Albany, GA 31707

MY TERMS AND CONDITION ARE:
1.I ALLOW PETS IN MY
HOUSE.

2.I DO NOT ALLOW ARROGANT

3.CLEANINGS AND TIDINESS IS
IMPORTANT.
So if you are still interested let me know asap to proceed on the next step.......feel free to ask any question.

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.
