Calling from numbers +2348106916923, +2348163157673 and also emailing from [email protected]
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.

Thanks for your interest in my apartment, I am Oluwa Peter's the owner of the apartment, I have really decided to give out the place as a result of my transfer to Nigeria with the whole family. We are already here in Lagos Nigeria over a week now. The place is available for long term and the building is in a great location situated in the quiet and safe area and offers secure access. internet, cable, laundry in-suite, storage facilities, heat,water, electric and parking is included in the rent and pet are allowed. i am going to be back in the country in 2 years time.
Please note that, we are a kind and honest and straight forward family that spent a lot on the property that is available for rent, so in one accord, we are soliciting for your absolute maintenance of this place and want you to treat it as your own.I did not entrust the place in the care of any agent or anyone because i want deal directly with the tenant myself because of the last experience i had with my tenant.
I tried to look for an agent that I could believe and trust to give the document & the keys before I left but could not find any as a matter of urgency. And I don't want the place to be misused in my absence that is why I took the keys and documents along with me and renting this place will give you access to the rest of the property and you won' t have no one to share anything with. So I hope you will promise me to take very good care of the property when you move in.
Its well fully furnished and all amenities are Included. Such as : Dishwasher,Gas cooker, Fridge , Microwave , Washer/Dryer ,Cable Television , Electricity , Heat , Parking , Water/Sewer Bathroom,Hardwood,Internet Access , Internet access and many more.
Attached are the interior pictures for you to have a view of apartment and for you to have an idea how beautiful and spacious the interior looks since i am with the key right now but i will send it to your via FedEx courier service within 24 hours once we both okay with the terms and condition. I will like you to get back to me with your final decision after viewing the interior pictures and let me know if you are interested in proceeding with the rental, kindly get back to me with your final decision for us to proceed with the rental.
