Thanks for your interest and inquiries about my house. Yes my house is still available for rent and i am looking for a responsible person/family to occupy and maintain the house for me. I just traveled to Lagos for a program called serving in mission (SIM), you can view the link for more info: (www.sim.org/index.php/content/our-purpose). I will be away for two 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. However my initial plan was to sell the house, later my wife advise me not to sell the house again since we are still coming back to Hawaii. Never mind if you see for sale sign in front of the house, It has already been taken off the market as for sale. So the house is for rent not for sale anymore. You can drive by and check the house and neighborhood and get back to me for further discussions because i need a tenant urgently then i can forward you the rental application form.

Address: 94-1026 Halewili St # 53, Waipahu, HI 96797
Bedroom: 3
Bathroom: 2
Monthly rent: $1,200
Security deposit: $1000 (Security deposit is refundable)
Pets is allow and all utilities are included in the rent.

Regards,

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.
