Thanks
for your email and interest in renting my house..I am
Stanley R
King,the owner of the house you are making inquiry
of…Actually I resided
in the house with my wife and my only daughter and
presently we have
moved out due to my transfer from my work now in
Warsaw,Poland.
Presently my house is still available for rent, (rent
already include
all utilities).More so Now,i am currently in the (West
Africa) for an
international Christian follower’s crusade..Pls i want you
to note that i
spent a lot on my property that i want to give to you for
rent,so i
will solicit for your absolute maintenance of this house and
want you to
treat it as your own,money isn't the main issue
here as you can see
from the price am offering it out which makes it looks too
good to be
true but i want you to keep it tidy all the time so that i
will be glad
to see it neat when i come for a check up.I also want you to
let me have
trust in you as i always stand by my word. Me and my wife
bought the
house when we got married. When we left the state I had a
thought of
selling the house with the help of a realtor but later my
wife advised
against that. I reasoned with her and accepted her advise to
rent it
out.So I had to get my keys and documents from the
realtor.We would have
given the realtor this task but they might want to handle
it
professionally and the occupant may not be able to reason
along with
them later because all we want is just to get a responsible
and reliable
tenant to rent the house to who will take absolute care of
the house as
if it belonged to them. The house has all new appliances
like Heat, A/C
in wall/window, Hydro, cable, Garbage Disposal, Fireplace ,
Fridge,
stove, Dishwasher, Dryer, Breakfast Bar, Dining Table and
Sofa
Set,Refrigerator,Canopied deck overlooking nature.,internet
access e.t.c
with ALL UTILITIES included because of this reason we need
a
responsible person that can take very good care of the
home.

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.
