Room for Rent and other rental scams

I saw this apartment for rent on craigslist and responded to the posting and got this reply. I almost responded to this but before doing so I decided to do a liitle research online. I did go the assessing online and saw that the name in the email is the same as the name listed for the town assessors information, I presumed the person who emailed me got it the same way I did, could not find this program that they are supposedly working for in Africa I then happened upon your site. How disgraceful, the lengths people will go to deceive others.


Hello

How are you doing? Thanks for your interest and inquiries about my house. Yes the house is still available for rent and we are looking for a responsible person/family to occupy and maintain the house now that we are not around. Myself and wife just traveled to West Africa for a program called FAMILY LIFE AND HIV EDUCATION AND THE HIV PREVENTION FOR RURAL YOUTH PROGRAM, the program is taking place in three major countries in Europe, Africa, UK . We will be away for 2 to 3 years or more that is why I have made up my mind to put up my house for rent to whom ever that will take good care of it.I spent less time in the States so I could not get a hold on any Realtor to handle this rent issue, although it was when I knew how long we are going to stay in Africa that I decided to rent out the house.... However, the initial plan was to sale out the house. which I tried, but sometimes the agents inflates the price and it takes longer to sell i am telling you this in case if you find the house on another website.Also how long do you intend to stay? How soon do you intend to move in?

Welcome to ScamWarners jacquiehy and thank you for posting this scam. I agree, it is disgusting what some people will do to take money that isn't theirs.


I have moved your post so it has it's own topic in the correct topic area.
