Hello Dear,

God bless you for your interest about my house and i am sorry for the late response due to our work, yes is still available for rent. I am renting this house to a responsible and neat person or family who has the fear of God and treat my house as his or her own because formally we wanted to sale the house but we did not see anyone that is willing to buy so we were advice by our lawyer to rent it, NB: My Husband and i are deaf and dump but we can read and write and we don't want you to use opportunity in taking advantage of us because people mostly act like that and which is not good in the site of God Almighty in Heaven.

Presently I work for USAID.works in agriculture, democracy & governance, economic growth, the environment, education, health, global partnerships, and humanitarian assistance in more than 100 countries to provide a better future for all.USAID still faces an uncertain future.. In many developing countries,HIV/AIDS and health issues are having a dramatic impact on social cohesiveness and economic strength, blocking the very development goals we seek. Virtually all the new democracies in the world today are fragile; others are democracies more in name than substance.

Nearly a quarter of the people living in developing countries, or about one billion people, live in absolute poverty. There are a host of other threats - ranging from terrorism to infectious disease and violent conflict - that challenge us and the developing nations we seek to help.Here USAID Web address: http://www.usaid.gov/USAID efforts to foster world-wide economic growth and increased trade,and tackling cross-border issues such as the spread of HIV/AIDS and trafficking in persons.To safe the live of peoples from primitive death that claims the souls of younger ages as a result of casual sex gave me transfer to West Africa, this is why i am actually renting out the house,so if you are interested and will take good care of our house then i will be ready to accept you as our future tenant and family friend.

If you really impress me by taking good care of our house then you will be allowed to stay as long as you wish okay. Below is the address of the house You can drive by and check the neighborhood and get back to me for further discussion, any sign post will be removed once i get any responsible tenant so you ignore the sign post cause i have stop dealing and contacting the Realtor for too much fees i pay. It is available for a long term lease as we will be here permanently and also intend buying a new home over here in West Africa .

So get back to me on how you could take care of our house or perhaps experience you have in renting home. Hope you are okay

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.
