Hello,
I am very happy to read an email from you,showing interest in my home The house is still available but presently I'm not around..Thanks for your email and i am very glad having receive an email from you regarding my Home, I am Chandler J Kevin ,the chief surgeon for the West Africa State University Teaching Hospital and my Wife and I we are the owner of the Single-Family Home For Rent..Available to move in today In...(Athens, OH)2Br/1Bath Single-Family Home you are making inquiry of.Yes the house is still available for rent.As soon as we settle down here I had a thought of selling the house we look for an agent, after getting one, we got a deal but later my wife advised against that we may not be able to be here for long time, in other to keep our head when we return that we have to keep the house. I reasoned with her and accepted her advise. So I contacted the agent back and requested for my keys and documents.. Later we decided to have the house rented out, we would have give the same agent this job also but the truth of the matter is that the agent would want to handle it professionally and the occupant may not be able to reason along with him later. If you notice, you will discovered that the price we are offering is far below standard price, this is enough reason for you to know that we are not after the rental fee but the absolute care for the property. I know there is no way I can be sure that you are the right person to live in the house because 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 this kind of structure down should know that maintaining of a building is mandatory we got a transfer to West Africa state as chief surgeon that is why we made up our mind to rent our house out to a very clean and nice person who can take very good care of our house like it was theres.
House Address:192 W Washington St, Athens, OH 45701
Note" do not contact the sign in front of the house and i also wrote it is for sale (But it is rent to own option) i don't want any agent to take advantage of my property i indicate zip realty to scare them away.

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.
