About me:

My name is Mario Martinez, I'm a USA citizen and I'm in my early sixties, I'm a Business Analyst by profession. I am embarked on a trip to Houston TX to do a short professional course in Systems Analysis in order to pursue my retirement claim and it will only last for more than eight month's. All I just need is someone either students or anybody working in a reputable organization to rent the apartment with an open heart, love and clean to occupy it and put all my worries off concerning the maintenance of the house. I left behind some facilities and electronics and a Sony DVD player, air conditioning, alarm system. The kitchen is fully equipped with all necessary cooking utensils, a refrigerator-freezer, four-hob and oven, microwave, dishwasher and washing machine, My Computer Connected with Internet Access. Also I will like you to know that the rent charges is not really the issue, but your absolute maintenance of my apartment, because that is the only valuable property I have in Liefsgade and it also took me so much time and money to put all those facilities in place.

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.
