Hi,
I did get your response concerning the AD I posted on
Craigslist.The house is still available but presently I'm not around.. I
did bid for a portion of petroleum land sometimes ago in West Africa
and fortunately I won the bidding so I have to move quickly down to
Africa to have my company set up because I will still have to rebid for
it in the next 10 years. I came over here with my wife, we both owned
the house when we got married. As soon as we settled down here I had a
thought of selling the house so I have to look for an agent, after
getting one, we got a deal but later my wife advised against that. She
said we may not be able to win the bidding next time, in other to keep
our head when we return that we have to keep the house. I reasoned with
her and accepted her advise. So I contacted the agent back and requested
for my keys and documents. Later we decided to have the house rent out
because of maintenance, we would have give the same agent this job also
but the truth of the matter is that the agent would want to handle it
professionally and the occupant may not be able to reason along with me
later if I let him or her know that I'm letting it out because of
maintenance.. If you notice, you will discovered that the price we are
offering is far below standard price, this is enough for you to know
that we are not after the rental fee but the maintenance.. I know there
is no way I can be sure that you are the right person to live in the
house because we won't be able to see physical before sending you the
keys and the documents to occupy the space. But I just had a feeling
that anyone who knows what it takes to put the kind of structure down
should know that maintaining a building is mandatory, so if you belief
you can take good care of the house and handle it like yours then I will
be more than happy to let you rent the house.
Please if you
are ready now to occupy the house and believe you can assist us in
maintaining the house, kindly provide the information below for record
purpose..

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.
