Hi,
Thanks for your concern over this House and the House will only be given out to the right person that will take very good care of the place and the facilities.LOCATION OF THE HOUSE.................(9825 Hedge Bell Dr McKinney, TX 75070)3Bedroom/2bathroom.Before now its been an issue putting out our home for rent due to the bond we have developed with the house,Listening to advises from friends and since there are no family member around to take care of the house we decided to do this..The reason why our house is up for lease is because I got transferred from my place of work to West Africa, I will be away with my family for at least 4 to 5 years because of the love I have for them, I work as a Robotic Programmer & Welder/Fitter here in West Africa and got married to a lovely wife who is a member of Joyce Meyer Ministries .I have decided not to sell our house and also assuring them that we only have few years to spend here and will be willing to lease it out to person/family who is willing to assure us of taking absolute care of our home and pay their rent on time.I have a daughter named Leslie (20yrs) who attends University of Manchester as a medical student,she has a lot going for her and she is also down to earth in all that she does to keep us happy. we also would like to know more about you and your family, your renting experience and how long and when you plan moving into our home. I have received some proposals regarding the rent because it is located in a very good area, but I still have to make sure it is rented out to someone who can take good care of it. I reasoned with her and accepted her advise. we want responsible adults/family,so in one accord,we are soliciting for your absolute maintenance of this house and want you to treat it as your own.We want you to keep it tidy all the time so that we shall be glad to see it whenever we are around on a visit. My wife and I initially had it up for sale but had a change of mind in leasing it out ourselves because the agent that was in charge of our rental property was asking too much of an agent fee and also making it difficult for people who cannot afford the rent, stay away from renting my house.you will discovered that the price we are offering is far below standard price, this is enough for you to know that we are not after the rental fee but the absolute care for the property. But I just had a feeling that anyone who knows what it takes to put the kind of structure down should know that maintaining a building is mandatory, we will appreciate if you could take your time to fill out the Rent/Lease application form below as we would like to keep proper documentation.

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.
