Hi,


Thanks for the interest regarding my apartment, First i must say that
am a very busy man, and i don't stay on internet much, my apartment is
still available for rent, but all 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 it's really disappointing, they claim to be very neat
and honest, and also they could not afford to pay the rent for 4 month,
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 because I work as Oil Expatriates and I do travel a lot,
Presently I am in Cleveland, Ohio for a research and I don't know when I
will return back to the apartment that's why am looking for a good
tenant who will live in the apartment and take care of it. The apartment
is available for long term and short term lease is also accepted.

The apartment Features
ï High Speed Internet
ï In-Suite Laundry
ï Large in-suite storage
ï Cable

Its
a spacious and lovely apartment, Utilities are included and Pets are
allowed. Kitchen completely equipped, Kettle - Toaster - Dishwasher -
Freezer - Microwave - Oven - Dryer - Heat - Water -Washing Machine and
Electric.I want you to note that I am a kind and honest man and also I
spent a lot on my property that I want to give you for rent, and I would
want you to treat it as your own, I would like you to keep it tidy all
the time I also want you to let me have trust in you as I always stand
on my word,the rental fee per month including utilities for the whole of
the apartment.If you really want to rent the property, you will need to

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.
