Hello,
Thanks for making inquiry about my house. Am in need of a person who is ready to move in now, a person who can take good care of my house for me because i am only renting out my house for it to be taken good care of that is why i have to rent it out at a lower price.
I am John Moore, the owner of the house, I will love to have showed you round the house and the inside, but am sorry I left USA with my Family for UK and from UK I was transferred to the West to supervise a spread the word and not the virus project, organized by an individual, my Family and Co. since then I reside in one of the west African country (NIGERIA) and I will be staying here for a very long time because the people around here still needs to be enlightened on what HIV/AIDS is all about.
In case you see any sign board Provided, they are the Realtor in charge of my house before I decided to take over by my self. I am no more working with them and don't bother to contact them because formerly i wanted to sell the house before me and my Lovely Family now decided to rent it out instead of selling it out.

I will want you to take a drive by the house and if you are pleased with the House, i will want you to email me back so that i can forward the RENT APPLICATION FORM to you to fill, I will advise you not to start roaming about my house because securities are watching over my house and you can be caught and you might fall into one problem or the other.

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.
