Hello,
Thanks for your mail and also for contacting me on The
property,the
property is still available for rent/lease right now.I must confess to you
that you are a lucky tenant to be ,because I don't really want to rent/lease
the property but my wife advised me to do so. Due to our present location,
we have been transferred from Work to Western region in Africa, i am an x
ray welders, and i was transferred here under Nigerien plc . My wife came
here to join me with my kids after some months i was transferred, I will be
here for 2 years. My Father is ill and his presently in Germany for surgery.
so My wife had to come along with the keys and all the documents to the
property because my father is not around for now.The rent is $270
It is not share accommodation, it's all for you and your family.,The money
is not the actual reason
for the rent, but the need for someone to occupy the flat so as to maintain
the facilities in the apartment.Like i said, the point i am emphasizing on
is your ability to take good care of the apartment for us because that's the
only property we have left in the Country ,If you are still interested in
renting my apartment, i want you to get back to me with the information
below, which is in the rental application form,

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.
