Hello,

I hope this finds you happy, healthy and well today. My wife and I own
the house and also want you to know that it was my transfer to
(Alabama) that makes us to leave the house and also want to give
it out for rent and looking for a responsible person and God fearing
person who can take very good care of the house in my absence..we are
not after the money for the rent but want it to be clean all the time
and the person that will rent it to take it as if it were its own.So
for now, We are in Alabama and will be staying here for the next 4
to 5 years, as for the document of the house
for rent, we tried to look for another Agent that we can give this
document before we left but could not find, and we as well do not
want our house to be used any how in our absence that is why we took
it along with us. We came to Alabama under (WHO) World Health
Organization(WHO).. WHO is the directing and coordinating authority
for health within the United Nations system. It is responsible for
providing leadership on global health matters, shaping the health
research agenda, setting norms and standards, articulating
evidence-based policy options, providing technical support to
countries and monitoring and assessing health trends.Visit our website
for more information if you also want to make an impact to the
world (www.who.int/about/en/) I hope you will promise me to take
very good care of the House.. The house is big and nice and it is
in a nice area I have received many proposals today for my property.
So i hope you will promise us that you will take very good care of the
house. So get back to me if you know you could take care of our house
or perhaps experience you have in renting a house. Hope you are okay with the price of $1000 per month and the
security deposit is $1000.

HERE IS THE HOUSE ADDRESS BELOW: 1104 Sena Dr, Metairie, LA 70005

This person asks for a deposit payment via Western Union, MoneyGram, pre-paid credit card 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.

Same exact scam from [email protected]. Responded to a Craiglist ad for house for rent in Hawaii. Exact wording on the reply email, everything, even phone #.

Thanks for posting this. Really helped me out before I did something foolish.
