I want my property to be well taken good care of, and there are some rules and regulation in which I do give out to tenant who are willing to rent my house so please don't disrespect my order but if you are still capable of renting my house the rules and regulation goes this way, You must keep my house clean including the surrounding, you must know the way in which you use the stove so as to avoid fire outbreak, you must not disturb the neighbor. I decided to rent out the property due to our transfer to (Arkansas,AR) on a Missionary Work by my church here, so we are renting it out since we need someone to take good care of the property on our absent. Don't be surprise if you find the home with another site and deference price, I have plan to rent it through Real estate before, but they are not serious simply because they have a lot of house to lease out and they added some money to the rent while there commission is not fair. Have this in mind you must know the kind of person that I'm nevertheless I am giving you this rules because of what corresponded between me and my last tenant. the keys and documents are with us here in Arkansas,AR... So I will need to ship them to you before you can occupy the house But you can drive by the house anytime to take a look at the area and surrounding, You can also peek through the windows if you don't mind.

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.

Hello Applicant,

How are you doing today..?? Happy new month i wish you merry christmas in advans.. We are pleased that you have an interest in our house, my house is still available for rent, but all i want is someone who i can put my Trust on and a God-fearing person, I rented my house to some families, i must say am really disappoint in them, They claim to be very neat and honest, And Also They Could not afford to pay the rent for 4 month, Which is very bad, They lied to me filling out the rental application form, telling me that they were capable of paying the rent, they also damaged some of my properties, which have been fixed now. I am looking for a responsible & clean tenant that will Be able to take good care of my apartment. We want responsible adults/family that are neat and also believe that they have what it takes to take care of our house as if it were theirs. My wife and I initially had it up 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 and also making it difficult for people who cannot afford the rent, stay away from renting my house. The reason why our house is up for lease is because I got transferred to (Arkansas,AR) on a Missionary Work by my church here, I will be away with my family for at least 5 to 6 years or more because of the love I have for them, 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 in regard me and my family. I have a daughter named Amy (23yrs) who attends University of Minnesota,MN as a medical student, she has a lot going for her and she is also down to earth in all that she does to keep us happy and when she is back home on vacation, she also assist her mom in the house work when am at the Church. I'm a Missionary man here in Arkansas,AR and got married to a lovely wife who is a member of Joyce Meyer Ministries Its a spacious and lovely home. Utilities are included and Pets are allowed.

He is very persistent about texting you and asking you to send the money ASAP so he can get the keys shipped off via DHL or Fedex. It is just sad when people use the premise of being God fairing and on a mission. *sigh* I guess this is where the world is going... Sad!!!
