Thanks so much for getting back to me regards to my available home for rent, I am looking for a responsible tenant that can rent and take very good care of the house and treat as own for me as soon as possible he/she move in .

My family and i are currently out of the state for missionary work of god by my church here. Before we left the state, We searched for a God fearing person or a reputable agent to handle the property and help us walk interested people through to have a proper viewing of the inside but we couldn't get anyone then. So we left with the keys, remote and the house documents. I'm willing to rent out our home to a good tenant and we can work things out based on trust and honest as one family. You can ask any question regarding my home.

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.

I almost fell for this . We've been looking for a place to rent& this offer sounded too good to be true& it was. Didnt send any money. Went to see property. It was legit. But the rental offer was a scam. The person did leave a tele number. I tried to call it, but it was always busy. I forwarded the email to the admin of this group and hope it will help stop this person from scamming others.
