Our priority is taking a responsible, careful, understanding and reasonable tenant that will take good care of the property due to the amount we are renting.

Apartment location: 58 Morton St, New York, NY 10014, USA
APARTMENT FEATURES:
True 1 Bedroom
Hardwood Floors
BIG Living Room With Renovated Kitchen

Actually I resided in the apartment with my family,presently we relocated Africa, Nigeria for the Missionary work and have a 4 years course And also running a non Governmental Organization.. So my family and i have decided that we would be moving to our other home when we get back.This is the link to the organization i represent and myself: http://nlswanepoel.aimsites.org/

There is no Registration fee and agency fee, since you are dealing directly with me the Landlord.

Electric Bills and water bills have been paid for, so i would also need to send the receipts to you, would in case it would be needed.

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.
