Thanks for the inquiry about my house. I am the owner of the house you
are making inquiry of.I resided in the house with my wife and My
Daughter, but presently we moved out of the house due to my recent
transfer from the company I worked with (Atlas General Construction
company) I worked as an Engineer and now I got a job offer from a
company in Malaysia (IAV Builders Sdn Bhd) You can view their website at www.iavbuilders.com.my
Actually, we wanted to sell the house but my wife suggested that we may
need the house later so we decide to stop the property management
company from selling it but to rent it out for us. Fortunately we later
found out that they were trying to use our absence as a medium of making
money for themselves by asking for more than what we asked them to take
for the rent, so we decided to stop them totally and that's why i am
doing this on my own.
Little about my Family.We are kind and honest people,we don't like
disappointing people and we don't want anyone to disappoint us. My
daughter is a Political Science student at Putra University of Malaysia.
She helps her mother in doing some home work during their vacation
period. My wife is a very good woman who understands easily and we are a
christian Family.we are members of Baptist Church We believe in the
restoration of Christ.
What really happened is this, we are not giving the home out for rent
just because of money but because of our recent work to Malaysia.So we
want you to keep our house clean always.We want you to treat it as yours
when you move in, I hope this is very clear to you?.
As it is now, we are not around to show the house from the inside and
there is no way you can see the house from the inside because we are
with the keys here.we will get the keys shipped to you via FEDEX Courier
Service as soon as you are ready to move in.
You can go check out the house and the neighborhood from the outside and
get back to me if you really like the house. The physical Address is
3314 LONGWOOD DR, FALLS CHURCH, VA 22041

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.
