Hi,
Thank you very much for the reply and interest in my home.

I am the owner of the home in

8871 Wonderland Ave Los Angeles, CA 90046. Actually I

resided in the home with my family

before and presently we had moved out now situated in the

florida because of my missionary

call where I work with a group called (First Baptist Hurst )

And presently we want to give

out our house for rent to a clean and tidy person.

Our home is available now for rent at $900 with a security

deposit of $1200 including

internet and electricity. I want to let you know that money

is not our problem but what we

are looking for is absolute care of the home when you pack

into the home. We are looking

out for someone that can always keep the home clean and

tidy.So please I want you to stand

on the agreement you will make with us.

We are kind and honest people,we don't like disappointing

people and we don't want anyone

to disappoint me.We spent a lot on our house that we want

to give to you for rent.I had an

idea of selling the house, so I have to look for an agent but

eventually my wife advised me

on selling the house.I reasoned with her and accepted her

advice. So I contacted the agency

back and requested for my keys and documents. Later we

decided to keep the house rented, we

would have given the same agent this job, but the fact of

the matter is that the agent

would need to hold it professionally and the lessee may not

be able to cause along with him

later and more some I do not have anyone in the area I can

leave the keys behind with so

that is why I posted ad myself. If you notice the price we

are offering is far below normal

price and I think is enough for you to know that we are not

after the rental fee but the

entire care for the property. I know there is no way we can

be sure that you are the right

person to live in the house because we would not be able to

meet physically before sending

you the keys and the documents to occupy the property.

What really happened is this, we are not giving the home out

for rent just because of money

but because of our recent work in florida.So we will solicit

for your absolute maintenance

of our house. We want you to treat it as yours when you

move in, I hope this is very clear

to you? I want you to keep it tidy all the time so that we

will be glad to see it neat and

clean whenever we visit the you.
I want to let you know that there is no one there in the

state to show you the inside of

the house as the keys and all documents of the house are

here with us and we shall get it

shipped to you via FEDEX Courier Service as soon as you

are ready to move in.You can go

check out the house and the neighborhood from the outside

and get back to me if you really

like it for more information.If you are alright with this, do

provide the information

below. All I need from you is to be able to take good care

of home, as yours.

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.
