I must confess that I am very very new in this landlord business..
However, My name is Edwin Samson,I own the house located at (94
Village St, Vernon, CT 06066). Due to my job as a missionary I spent
less time in the States so I could not get a hold on any Realtor to
handle this rent issue, although it was when I knew how long we are
going to stay in Africa that I decided to rent out the house. However,
the initial plan was to sale out the apt. which I tried, but sometimes
the agents inflates the prize and it takes longer to sell i am telling
you this incase if you find the house on another website, that is the
old advert. because of this reason and more we need a responsible
person that can take very good care of it as we are not after the
money , but want it to be clean and for you to take it as if it were
yours.
The rent is $600 and $600 for Security Deposit

Please make sure this questions are fill correctly because the best
way you answer with your comment will impress me the more to accept
your applications.
I know you would want to see the house before making any kind of
rental payment , which is understandable.We can make arrangement for
the keys and documentation including an Authorization letter to be
shipped to you, this will give you the opportunity to view house.

Edwin Samson.
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 wire transfer (normally Western Union) 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 (by Western Union) 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 ! Western Union 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 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.
