I know you might be weary to deal with someone who is overseas but I want you to

know that Myself and my family and other Native Americans have been missionaries

with Global Ministries for a long time now. We have served as missionaries in major

parts of the world, we now serve as United Methodist missionaries serving on

humanitarian assistance and we arrived West Africa Two weeks Ago in supporting long

term needs for clean water in Kenya, Sudan, Mali, Liberia, Burkina Faso, Gambia,

Benin, Republic, Nigeria and Ethiopia - providing the everyday needs of more than

389,500 people. Also committed to mitigating the impact of HIV/AIDS, which kills

more than 6,000 Africans every day, we are supporting community garden programs for

AIDS sufferers and their families. So my family and I have decided that we would be

moving to our other home when we get back to New York.

We need a clean and responsible person that we can trust to take a proper care of

the home at all time because we will be spending a long time around the world and

are renting it Permanently, All Utilities are included in the rent and Below is the

rental application form. Please fill the form and get back to me ASAP if you are

interested in renting our home. Below are the details required:

I will need this information because my family and I won’t be moving back to the

apartment whenever we are back, there is no Registration fee. The Security Deposit

would be needed as a Security Bond in order for the keys and paperwork along side

with Lease Contract agreement to be sent to you... Electric Bills and water bills

have been paid for, so I would also need to send the receipts to you.

I would like you to know that you are free to contact me at any time. After I

receive these details, I would get back to you soonest and then let you know my

terms.

Pets are allowed.

I hope to hear from you soonest.

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.
