How are you doing?

The Property is still available for rent and i am looking for a responsible person / family to occupy and maintained the Place now that i am not around.I wanted to sell the Property posted online before i was advised not to sell it but to put it on for rent. I just moved to Baltimore, MD on job transfer with easyGroup company as a flight engineer and to move closer to my extended families here .Here is the Address to the Place :230 S Adams St, Glendale, CA 91205 , i will be away for 6 years that's why I have made up my mind to put up my Property for rent to whom ever that will take good care of it.

I'm sorry you may not be able to see the inside of the unit right now, as there was no formal intent of renting this unit and there is no building manager because i lived there and there was no need for the manager, but the pictures of the interior i posted. There is no way for you to see the unit because i did not make plans for it but You may go by the apartment to have a look of the neighborhood and environment Also how long do you intend to stay?

How soon do you intend to move in?

Note : This unit is Unfurnished and comes Unfurnished as seen in the pictures attached with all utilities included: Water, Electricity, Gas,Garbage and High speed WiFi internet/TV package, Parking included. This is not a sublease , i own the property am renting to you

The rent is $800 while the security deposit is $800, First and last month rent would be required to move in. if you are interested write me back so i can email you the rental application, There is no application fee and we do not accept section 8/Voucher. I will be honest with you, I'm a very busy person due to my new job, i may not be able to take your calls immediately , the best way for communication for me it through email or you can text messages and I'll get back to you asap. I hope you read my email carefully and reply to me if interested.

God bless you
Love and Prayers,
In Christ we Stand!

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.
