Rental scammer - [email protected]

From: "Chiew Lim Kiun" - [email protected]



Thanks for showing an interest, We personally own the home, And we want it to be in proper hands by the acceptance tenant, While we have some rules and regulation to be abide and we don't want you to disrespect the rules, But if you are still capable of renting this property the rules and regulation are.

Tenant must keep the home clean including the surroundings, tenant must not disturb the neighbor's as it was a very good neighborhood. We decided to rent out the property due to our decision on going to missionary work in West African, We left on a self Mission following God’s Call to Preach the Word and Let people of all Nations Hear About Him.So we are currently in Nigeria.

We need someone to take proper care of the property on our absent. We plan to rent it through a Real Estate Agent in the past, but they are not serious and trustworthy simply because they have a lot of houses to rent out and they added some money to the rent while the commission they are asking not fair so The house is available for rent up to 4 years or more, so you are free to decide on how long you intend occupying it.

We are honest and serious people willing to rent out the home to a good family, But, nevertheless we are giving out this rules because of what correspond between me and the previous tenant so The keys and documents are with me here in Nigeria because i am handling the renting myself Until We have the house rent out here, so 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

Number of Bedrooms: 2
Number of bath: 1.0
Pets Allowed: Cats, Dogs etc.
Rent: $ 1400
Deposit: $ 1000
Total Cost to Move in is $ 2400


Here is the Address : 1810A Mason St. San Fracisco, CA 94133. You can only drive by the home and take a look at the area and surrounding but won't be able to inspect the Interior because the key's and the document's to the House are with me here. I will be more than happy to let you rent the house if you can promise me & my family that you will surely take very good care of the house for us as if it was your own. So kindly Get back to us with the Rental Application form below soon so i can preview with my wife and get back to you.

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.

Thank you very much for your reply, i can see your willingness in this house. I want you to know that I'm satisfied with your profile; i showed your profile to my wife and She is OK with it. l want you to know that we can let you stay in my house till the period of time you wish. I want you to know that the rent fee is among the house utilities all included, so you can use them anytime but make sure you take proper care of my property. We have both concluded that since this will build more Trust for both family you can go ahead and make the Security Deposit payment first which is refundable to enable the shipment of the Keys and document to your current address and you can be able to check the inside of the House, after which you could move in at your convenience and promise to send the First Month RENT once you have fully moved in and also we would like to send the following document to you via FedEx next day delivery service to the address you fill in the application form and after the shipment the tracking number will be sent to you via email so that you can possibly know the arrival time, please once again,we are giving you this on trust and do not disappoint us and i promise you that you will love and enjoy the peace of the Lord in the Home and not only, a good relationship between us.


Here are the contents of the document that needs to be sent.

1) Entrance and the Rooms Keys
2) Paper/Permanent house form
3) The House Documentary File.
4) Full Description of the House
5) Payment Receipt
6) Signed Lease Agreement Form you are supposed to also sign and get it sent back to me.

I have four other tenants that are ready to make upfront payment, but am not going to accept their offers, because they are drunks, they party, so please promise me you are going to take good care of my house. Note that all the documents of my house will be sent to you as soon as you agreed with terms. So please do get back to me today so that i will let know the next step to take concerning the payment.. Rent already includes utilities so you do not have to pay extra charges for that.. Utilities include: power, water, Sewer and trash.

i will be receiving the security deposit from you via Western Union because i think it reliable, secured and fast, and moreover, my wife and i, got into Nigeria just few months back and we have been trying to settle down. This has made it difficult for me to set up a bank account here for transaction like this. But never mind, i will be setting up one (Joint Account, for my wife and I) before the end of this year so Kindly get back to me as soon as possible, so that i can forward you the Western Union Payment information which you will use to make the Deposit payment via Western Union to me and Once your payment has been Confirmed the keys and documents will be shipped along with your payment receipt.


So pls get back to me today.
I await your reply ASAP.
Regard and God bless you!!!
