I really hope i am not getting back to you very late about the house you want to rent, I had to leave Shreveport, LA in a hurry due to my recent promotion and it involves me working out of the Shreveport, LA . My family and i just moved from Shreveport, LA to Virginia. We intend selling the house if we find a Tenant that would be ready for a lease to own after a year in the house, if not, then we will continue with normal rentals. We have made the monthly rent significantly low and affordable as good faith for my happiness for my recent promotion. If you want more photos of the House, let us know. I am currently working as a counsellor for the United States Aid for International Development (US-AID) here in Virginia. Please visit http://www.usaid.gov/, you can also support our mission.All we care about is someone to take very good care of it with passion of it being it's own. A colleague of mine introduced
me to this internet site of advertisement when the formal reality company i gave the house to manage for me since am not in Shreveport, LA but due to the high price they put on the house which make people not to rent the house from them so i have to withdraw the house from them and start doing the rental by my self.

I guess by now you should eager to view the house because it is a lovely home. So far, we have seen a couple of interested families but we shall rent to the best tenant according
to our choice. . The rent is $600 while the security deposit is also $600. The house is ready for move in..

You can call me on this number #: 949-415-8780.


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.
