Hello,
We are pleased that you have an interest in my house, My lovely home is still available for lease and i want responsible adults/family who is neat and also believe that they have what it takes to take care of my house as if it were theirs. My wife and I initially had it for sale but had a change of mind in leasing it out ourselves because the agent that was in charge of our rental property was asking too much of an agent fee therefore making it difficult for people who cannot afford such rent. I am not after the rental fee but an absolute care for the property.
The reason why my house is for lease is because I got transferred from my place of work to Texas TX, I will be away with my family for at least 4 to 5 years because of the love I have for them, however my coming back will not affect your staying in my home, I have decided not to sell our house and also assuring them that we only have few years to spend here and will be willing to lease it out to person/family who is willing to assure us of taking absolute care of our home and pay their rent on time. I will start by telling you more regarding me and my family. I work as a Robotic Programmer & Welder/Fitter here in Texas TX and I'm a member of Joyce Meyer Ministries. We will be very pleased if we can find the right tenant to rent our home, a person who is a clean freak. We also would like to know more about you and your family, your renting experience and how long and when you plan moving into our home. These 4 bedroom and 3 baths home are very specious and neat.

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.
