Subject: Re: Question about the home at 6826 Island Park Ct # 0, Corpus Christi, TX 78414
Hello
Thanks for your interest and inquiries about my house. Yes the house is still available for rent to own and we are looking for a responsible person/family to occupy and maintain the house now that we are in California is because I got transferred from my church to California where I work as a volunteer with Evangelical Council of Financial Accountability (ECFA), and my wife is also a missionary's dealing with Bible Translation and literacy worldwide.And we are here in California based on our son`s condition, our son has been fighting cancer for two years now, this is the major thing we considered and decided to go on with the transfer. We will be away for 4 to 5 years or more that is why I have made up my mind to put up my house for rent to whom ever that will take good care of it. I spent less time in the States so I could not get a hold on any Realtor to handle this rent issue, although it was when I knew how long we were going to stay in California that was why I decided to put the house for rent to own.... However, the initial plan was to put the house for sale which I tried, but sometimes the agents inflates the price and it takes longer to sell. I am telling you this in case if you find the house on another website, The property is on a rent to own basis. 50% of the monthly rent goes as credit to the purchase of the property, after a year lease tenant can pay the remaining purchase price to own the property. The rent includes all utilities and close to all amenities. The place is available for immediate move in. INCLUDED IN THE RENT: Light, Cable, Kitchen completely equipped, Kettle - Toaster - Dishwasher - Freezer - Microwave - Oven - Dryer - Heat - Water - Washing Machine and Electric.

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.
