It comes with all utilities like + Gas, water and electric, dishwasher and microwave and Laundry. A parking space is available. We want is a responsible person, serious and trust worthy, who is willing to pay 1 month rent and a security deposit (your credit does not matter to us). Also someone that can take care of the kitchen, because I love the kitchen very much...
My name is Ryon and my husband is Avaunt My husband currently got a permanent Job in West Africa.
His working as a Chef Cook in West Africa one of the big Hotel Sheraton Hotel I was working as a Medical Doctor in state but I finally lost my Job on the month of Jan 16th 2010 due to the accident I had during the high snow, the accident which almost destroyed most part of my body especially my legs, but I thank God today that I am still alive and I can at least walk again... the shock are still in my body according to my Doctor, the best way I can communicate is through writing but I believe with God all things are possible, I have the faith in him that I will be healed perfectly it is just a matter of time. I just relocate to live with my husband my doctor say's I need his care, maybe he can help me get well soon.

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.
