Dear Rental,

We really appreciate your interest regarding our apartment, we still have the apartment available for rent and we need some one who can stand on their word and keep it to, My Wife and I are Congenital deafness, but our kids are not.my wife and i are currently on a mission in malaysia, and we really love our job, we travel around the world. Well am giving out my apartment since we are not moving back,and actually we wanted to sell it, but my wife told me not too, that we should rent it out. and we are not after the money, we just want some one that will take proper care of the apartment, during our absence. once beaten twice shy.

I want is someone who i can put my Trust on and a God-fearing person, i rented my apartment to Mr Rolland Family, i must say am really dissappionted in them, they claim to be very neat and honest. I was asked to send keys and documents to them, for viewing, and they were suppose to send the first month rent and damage deposit, but they did not and they stayed in out apartment for 5 months, and they took advantage of us with the name of the Most High ( GOD ) and we did this out of Trust,which is very bad, they lied to me filling out the rental application form, telling me that they were capable of paying the rent, they also damage some of my properties, which has been fixed now.I am looking for a responsible & clean tenant that will be able to take good care of my apartment.

The apartment is available for long term and short term lease is also accepted.

This person asks for a deposit payment via Western Union or MoneyGram to an escrow company with a promise that he will send the keys through a courier company.

Sounds safe. It's not!
These companies do not work this way.

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.
