Thanks,

God bless you for your interest in my House, the House is sparkling 3 bedroom 2 baths for $1000 per month and $600 for the
Refundable security deposit.

I am Mr. mark lundy the owner of the House and my intentions are renting to a clean and responsible person who will take absolute care of the place.
Presently I and my wife have worked for US-AID. US-AID works in agriculture, democracy & governance, economic growth, the environment,
Education, health, global partnerships, and humanitarian assistance in more than 106 countries to provide a better future for all.
Virtually all the new democracies in the world today are fragile; others are democracies more in name than substance. Nearly a quarter of the people living in developing countries, or about one billion people, live in absolute poverty.

There are a host of other threats - ranging from terrorism to infectious disease and violent conflict - that challenge us and the developing nations we seek to help.

Here is our website just in-case you want to know more about us www.usaid.govUSAID efforts to foster world-wide economic growth and increased trade, and tackling cross-border issues such as the spread of HIV/AIDS and trafficking in persons. To save the life of peoples from primitive death that claims the souls of younger ages as a result of casual sex.

This gave us a transfer to UNITED STATE, New Mexico. CITY: Albuquerque and we will be away for 5 years and this is why we are actually renting our House, so if you are interested and will take good care of our place then we will be ready to accept you as our future tenant and family friend. Will like to know when you wish to move, how many people are moving and how long you are looking to rent as we are looking at a 1 or 6 years lease for now with a chance of further renewal.

Fill the application and get back to me ASAP.

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.

All the details such as names, addresses, pictures etc. that the scammer uses in order to back up his story, are stolen from elsewhere.

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.
