Hello,
I did get your response concerning the house I posted online. The house is still available but presently I'm not around..,I attended a course in theology at the South London Christian College.Presently i am in the ministry working for God as a missionary in West Africa,Due to the mass decision by U.S churches to promote the gospel to reach people in west Africa visit http://www.christiantelegraph.com/issue1630.html. It has always been my calling to work for the Lord so when He called i had no choice but to answer.I came over here w i am very intrested in your propertyith my wife so we are both working as a missionary in west Africa.We initially handed our property to an agent but it was quite expensive dealing with the agent so we requested for our keys and the house documents back,we have decided to handle it ourselves as this will give us the opportunity to know whom we are renting our house to.If you notice, 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. I know there is no way I can be sure that you are the right person to live in the house 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 make arrangement on how to send the keys and the house documents to you so that you can possibly occupy the house,so if you believe you can take good care of the house and handle it like yours then I will be more than happy to let you rent the house.FEATURES : Laundry, Electric Range, Electric Heat, Master Bedroom, Playground, Car Park.AMENITIES: Air Conditioning, Patio/Party Deck, Cable TV, Ceiling Fans, 24 hours Internet service, Dishwasher, Fire pit, Garbage Disposal, Microwave, security alarm, Pets Friendly, Refrigerator, Washer / Dryer.

The thief will tell you that you can rent his accommodation only if you can prove that you have genuine interest. He will ask you send money by wire transfer (normally Western Union) to yourself or a member of the family to show that you have sufficient finances and that you are not a "time waster".
Another variation of this scam is that you need to send (by Western Union) money in order that the keys and other documents can be couriered to you
He will ask you to send him the transfer details.
Make no mistake ! Western Union Transfers can be picked up virtually anywhere in the world and with the minimum of identification. They are almost impossible to trace once the money has been collected. You will never get to see the accommodation or your money 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 Gumtree or similar listing sites. If you receive any requests from 'Landlords' asking for some kind of payment by Western Union 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.
