and we are looking for a good and responsible person(s) who will take
care for our property just like we do.

I am now in Virginia in my parent's house because my husband is
currently in west africa working on a oil contract and i cant live
alone because am pregnant.
Let me briefly introduce my family to you, My name is Rachel, my
husband's name is David Stagna ,and the unborn we can't wait.. to have him.
Actually we had the intention of selling off the property but given it
a second thought we decided to rent it out instead.
We have decided to handle this ourselves and we have no intention of
getting a third party involved due to our past experience.
Note: Because we are not around we won't be able to setup viewing but
your free to drive or walk by to checkout the property and the
neighborhood before we proceed with the rental application process.

We have been so careful and also selective in this rental process.

Trained Dogs/Pets are allowed

Tell us little about you and your rental experience so if you are
really interested in the apartment fill this application below.

Hope you are okay with the rent fee per month which includes
hydro,heat, laundry facilities,air condition, internet, electricity
and so on.i look forward to hearing from you ASAP so that i can
forward you rent application to fill out and discuss on how to get our
home for rent and i sent the pictures.


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.
