Greetings!
Thank you for admiring our post.I will like you to read carefully and if you do not feel comfortable after reading please ignore my email. My husband and I need an honest tenant to rent our property located at 360 W Mountain View Ave , Glendora, CA 91741 . I am Deaconess Lauren Reints and Apostle David Reints happens to be my husband,we are presently in Africa running a non governmental organization that educates the unprivileged ones and also leading them to accepting Christ as their Lord and savior.Please we have no one local to show our property but we hope to work this out in faith and understanding.We have learn the act of putting things into God's hand and I believe by God's grace i will find an honest,neat and understanding person to work with us. You should count yourself lucky to meet with this offer, because we decided to make it affordable $1110 per month (rent already include utilities; Water, Trash,Electricity e.t.c).

Our Previous property manager is only concern about making money and never attend to the needs of the our tenant and property so my husband and I decided to handle the rental ourselves in order to reduce the rent, get closer to our tenant and also include them in our daily prayers for divine grace upon their lives.

N:B (The document and keys are with us but I have no problem sending it to you through fedEX which will take 16hours to get to the states so you can go view the inside property but part of the security deposit will be put down before the keys and document be sent,the money sent is refundable if you do not like my property after viewing. I will give you a call once you agree to my terms and conditions).
Feel free to drive by the property to view the outside.

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, MoneyGram or Bank 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.
