New App.

Thanks for your interest regarding my house, yes the house is available for rent. I decided to rent the house because we are going to spend more time here in (Texas) for an International Christian Followers crusade. That made us leave the house and also want to give it out for rent. Initially we wanted to put the house for sale but my wife suggested that we should secure a responsible and God fearing person who can take very good care of the house in our absence. We are not after the money for the rent but want it to be clean always.. My family and I will be here for about 5 years and again due to the nature of my job. Am willing to lease it out to person/family who is willing to assure us of taking absolute care of our home and pay their rent on time,So i hope you will promise us that you will take very good care of the house.

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.
