I must confess that I am very very new in this landlord business..However, My name is James Bartley,I own the house located at (7424 Frederick St, Omaha NE 68124 ).Due to my job as a missionary 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 Kuala Lumpur,Malaysia that I decided to rent out the house and i will be here for (4-5 years).. How ever,the initial plan was to sale out the house.which I tried, but some times the agents inflates the prize and it takes longer to sell i am telling you this in case if you find the house on another website,that is the old advert. because of this reason and more we need a responsible person that can take very good care of it as we are not after the money , but want it to be clean and for you to take of it as if it were yours The rent is $600 and $500 for Security Deposit For this 3BR/2Bath/1800 sqft.

Hello.
Thanks for your pleasant response... Well, I understand how you feel and all you have said,but i want you to get your mind relax and have FAITH IN GOD ALMIGHTY okay..This's a moment of truth,what shall it profit a man to gain the whole word and looses his/her life,i so much thank GOD that you are a capable and also responsible person. This is what i am also afraid about, that is why i have been praying about this and i know GOD brought us together so just get your mind relax here,i am a missionary man that always keeps to his words and i can never tarnish my image just because of vain lively things that is vanity,i will always pray for you so be rest assured that my house is given to you already cos my family is so excited... I have been disappointed before,by some peoples i trust in the state. So the only person i trust in the state right now that you can meat,has informed us that he as travel to GERMANY for professional course... I want you to know that i have make an arrangement with the shipping company on how to ship the keys/documents of the house to your doorstep ASAP after your deposit fee have been confirmed right here,and they have registered the package for shipping with your name and address. But before the shipping can take place i have to give them their shipping fee... Well, i want you to get your mind relax and have (FAITH IN GOD ALMIGHTY) As i said. Because the BIBLE SAYS IN HEBREWS 11:1-2. Now faith is the substance of things hoped for,the evidence of things not seen. (2) For by it,the elders obtained a good report.... So i want you to have it in your mind that you will be the elder that will obtained a good report from me,by shipping you the keys/documents of my house by FAITH. Like-wise what i believe, that i will also be the elder that will obtained a good report from you,by taking very good care of our house like your own okay... I look forward to hear from you ASAP, to know the next step to take...
Remain Bless, With Your Entire Family
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.
