Hello,
It gives me great joy to know that you have interest in my lovely house,its
still very much available for rent and ready for immediate occupancy. I am
sure you would be asking yourself why my rent is low, that's because i am
not too keen about the amount in renting the house out but to whom i am
renting the house out to. My intention is to rent my house to someone that
is responsible and be ready to take great care of the house as if it were
his or hers. I am very certain that you would love the comfy of the house.
I would like you to know that i am giving this house out for rent because i
have been posted to(west Africa) as an Pediatrician (kid's doctor) and
would spend couple of years before i would be through with my assignment
here. So my family and i have decided that we would be moving to our other
home in Seattle, Washington when we get back to the states,i would like you
to complete the tenant application form below and please be honest with
these details to enable us choose the right tenant.

hear is my phone number
contact me as soon as you fill out the renting application form+2348090800960
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.
