Hi,

The 6242 Del Norte Lane, Dallas TX 75225 3 bedroom and 2.2 bathroom Single-Family Home. Which My wife and I occupied before leaving for Nigeria. We left on a self Mission following God's Call to Preach the Word and Let people of all Nations Hear About Him.

We are looking for a well-behaved, clean and honest tenant to rent out our house.We will like you to give us your word and promise us that you will take good care of our house so that we will be happy when we come to visit you in the future. We are willing to work on any flexible plan you may have on your term of renting,Long or short term or month by month.

I had a Realtor company help me get a tenant, but they were handling things too professionally and were extorting the tenants, so i took the job of their hands and tried doing this my self, but couldn't find any tenant while I was still in the state as at last week. so as a matter of urgency for my travel, I do not want my home to be misused in my absence, I decided to take the keys and documents along with me. So I hope you will promise me to take very good care of the house always. I really do need to get a very well-behaved person to take occupancy of my house and take good care of it for me.We shall be staying for upwards of five years here doing God's Work,a 90 days notice shall be given to you prior to our arrival back to the states after five years of service here in Nigeria.

As regards furniture,if tenant would be bringing in furniture,ours will be taken to storage while cost of storage will be paid by us.If tenant wants to use ours,tenant will be allowed to use.You can give us a call on our cell phone number on +2347044901257 or 0112347044901257.( Call Anytime )

Rent Fee/Month : $500
Security Deposit : $500
Total Move In Cost : $1000

Here is the address of the Home you can drive by and view the exteriors and surroundings and get back to me if you are really interested :6242 Del Norte Lane, Dallas TX 75225

So get back to us as soon as you can so we can send you the application form.

Waiting to hear from you soon.

Regards,

Mayickal Pappen

They are just out for the cash.

They have sometimes used the names of former victims in future scams. This is by no means ideal, but it is typically not very difficult to prove you weren't involved, so it becomes more of a headache than anything else. They don't have enough information for true identity theft.

You will also likely see more scam attempts directed at, or tailored to you personally.
