Rental Scammer - [email protected]

Hi guys! I got a rental inquiry response from what seemed to be a suspicious person with broken English. After a quick Google search I found a CBC article about somebody else in my city getting swindled out of $2800, and it sounded a lot like my first email from this person. Here it is:

Hello Tenant,

Thanks for your email and interest in the property. I personally own the property and also want you to know that it was due to my transfer that made me and my wife to leave the property and also want to give it out for rent and looking for a responsible person that can take very good care of it as we are not after the money for the rent but want it to be clean at the time and the person that will rent it to take it as if it were its own. So for now, We are here in United State, our new house and also with the keys and documents of the house, we try to look for an agent that we can give this documents before we left but could not see and we are as well as don't want our property to be used any how in our present that is why we took it along with us. I and my wife came over to United State I WORK WITH ABUSED CHILDREN AND SEXUALLY ABUSED CHILDREN.I,M A THERAPIST, so i hope you will promise us to take very good care of the house. kindly get back to me on how you could take care of our house or perhaps experience you have in renting home. The rent fee is included all the utilities . I am looking forward to hear from you ASAP so that i can forward you an application form to fill out and discuss on how to get the property for rent.

God bless you

Just wanted to put it here in case somebody else is dealing with this jerk-off. I've also contacted my local police fraud division to let them know.

I kind of want to scambait them but I've never done it before and it sounds as though these rental ones are a bit harder, seeing as though they have lots of people coming to THEM. Any suggestions?

Welcome to Scamwarners MarkThomas420,

Thank you for posting the information. The safest way to rent is to make sure you can physically go inside the property.
