Subject: Re: Adorable 2 Bedroom 1.5 Bath Attached Townhouse
Greetings! Thank you for admiring our post. In order to avoid irrelevant questions, please it's importunate you read this carefully and if you don't feel comfortable renting from me after reading this, please ignore this email i will understand no offense taken. My wife own this email but am using it now. My wife and I are in need of any sincere and honest tenant to rent this property to. This Twnhome is located at 841 Stonewood Street- D, La Habra, CA 90631. Our situation right now makes it difficult to find someone to rent to, due to we're in west Africa on a missionary purpose. We came here unexpectedly to help and teach the underprivileged ones here. I am Bishop Patrick F Flores and Mrs Sheila Ingrid Flores happens to be my wife. I was a renter before and i know how hard core some Landlord can become, but trust me when i say you're lucky because am not the type to frustrate my tenant. Please we have no one local to show the Twnhome, we hope to work this out in faith and understanding. I understand if after reading this you decided otherwise about the offer. We have learnt the act of putting things into God's hand and I belief my God's grace i will find a beautiful and understanding soul to work with me. Also, some might think otherwise about our offer but the truth remains we're a couple looking to rent our property. You should count yourself lucky to meet with this offer, because we decided to make it affordable $1000 per month (rent already include utilities; Water, Trash, Electricity et.c). The realtors to handle the Twnhome, is to handle for a higher price due to commission issues. It was expensive and i really don't want it to look like am after the money but a proper care of the property, though money is needed but most importantly the care of the Twnhome. The document and keys are with us but we have no problem getting it to you if you agree to our terms. Please understand me and do not think otherwise about this I promise you won't regret it.

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.
