Subject: RE: Regarding: Beautifully Remodeled 4 Bed Home
Hello,
Thanks for the email. I am really very happy to have a mail from you for showing interest in my house. Yes the House is still available and will only be given out to the right person that will take very good care of the place and the facilities.
Beautiful, unique house has a lot of facilities like Carpet, Clothes washer, Disposal, Washer/dryer hookups,Kitchen with breakfast room opens to a very large deck where you can enjoy the peace and quiet of the country.Ceiling fan(s), Clothes dryer, Clothes washer, Dishwasher, Disposal, Electric range and oven, Exhaust fan/hood, Full master Bedroom, Ice maker, Refrigerator, Separate dining room, Separate shower in master bathroom, Walk-in closet(s), wall to wall carpeting, Recreation room, Bedroom(s) on upper level(s), Bathroom(s) on upper level(s) Bedroom(s) on main level(s), Bathroom(s) on main level(s), Family room on main level. Public sewer service, Public water supply and other necessary facilities.
I have really decided to give out the house as a result of my transfer to Malaysia.. I will be giving out the house for $1300 with a security deposit of $1300. I need to inform you as well that money is not the major reason why I am renting it out but want someone who can take care of it as if he/she owns it. So let me know as soon as possible if you can take good care of it, so that we can discuss the rent further. Pets are allowed.
We initially wanted to sell the house but we changed our minds and decided to rent it out because the economy is bad and it has also affected the housing market. We might decide to sell in the future but for now we are just renting it out.
If you are interested you can go by and view it but you will not be able to go inside cause the keys are here with me in Malaysia. Here is the address of the house (3488 Sour Cherry CT Waldorf, MD 20602)
I await your reply.

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.
