Thanks for your time and response to our advert.Please it is importunate you read this carefully! Our available house is a lovely one for rent in Orlando, FL You can drive by to view it from the outside at 2717 E Pine St, Orlando, FL 32803 .If you know you're not serious please i beg you don't bother replying, don't waste your timeand mine.We are looking for a God fearing and a neat family that can occupy it as you can see our home is more decent and well kept. Please note that your rent starts counting from move in date so we want you to be sincere to us and always remember to pay your rent when it is due. I am Bishop Jonathan Jijon and First lady Pamela Jijon happens to be my wife.Due to my quick missionary movement as a parish Bishop, my family and I had to leave the house that was posted on craiglist at Orlando, FL, to give it out for rent and now we are in africa to spread the word of God and also to build a new parish,where people can worship.we're currently in west africa reaching out to the underprivileged ones here, it has become our lifestyle to see people happy. You can reach me through this # +2347039810260 be sure to dial internationally. We have been finding it difficult to rent it due to we won't be able to see the tenant in person until we come for check up, but we pray about it and belief in our heart to find someone with a good heart and good intention. You should count yourself lucky to meet with this offer, because we decided to offer a price below
standard of $400 per month(rent already include utilities) in order to make it affordable. An agent was to handle this for us at a high price, but due to the fact we are not originally from the area and also because of commission issues, we decided it is best to handle it ourselves and we would appreciate anyone who understands our
situation and will be willing to work with us. Note:We did not authorized any agent for our property anymore. The keys are with us but we have no problems as far as getting it to whoever we feel is potential to rent the house. Please understand my situation and consider me. I am married with four(4) kids.Amonly trying to help someone here and in return i hope the person takes care of my property.

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 a Money Transfer Service 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 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 ! These 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 or other Money Transfer Services 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.
