Subject: Re: $700 / 3br - Great 2 story in Martin High! (Arlington)
Good Morning, I am the owner of the house you are making inquiry of. I lived in the house with my family for several years and presently i was transferred due to my state of work. I work for the USAID in Round Rock, which i was posted to West Africa, Nigeria. It is stated that Nigeria accounts for more than half of West Africa’s population, according to the U.S. Department of State. Presently my house is still available for rent (rent includes utilities and no extra fee). Presently, i’m currently in Nigeria for the mission to support the country, the current HIV/AIDS program consists of 12behavior change communication (preventative) activities, eight activities that focus on care and support of people living with HIV/AIDS, two activities that focus on care and support of children orphaned by HIV/ AIDS, and one activity on AIDS impact modeling and advocacy. The Mission has begun to consolidate its HIV/AIDS activities in four states over here. Please i want you to note that my property is quite expensive, so i solicit for your absolute maintenance of my house and want you to take good care of it as you own it for the period of time willing to rent if eventually you are accepted. I am actually in search of a family or tenant that would keep it tidy at all times and for we to get to know ourselves and build trust in both families.

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.
