Hello,
Thanks for your interest and inquiries about my house. I am sorry for my late response as i have been extremely busy lately, It gives me great joy to know that you are interested in my lovely house.We actually worked for united nations for 15 years now, (We work as a representatives Among the African groups with 54 member states) We Traveled for a Humanitarian trip called Empowering Youth to Fight Racism, HIV/AIDS, Poverty and Lack of Education,delivering Humanitarian Aid and promotion of sustainable developments. The program involves countries ALL around the world.
We will be away for 2 to 3 years that is why we have decided to rent one of our houses to anyone that will take good care of it. We tried to look for a dependable Realtor to handle the renting issue but we could not find one due to the limited amount of time we had before leaving. The initial plan was to sell the house which we tried hard to do,but the agent inflates the commission and it takes longer to sell that is why we decided to rent it out. I am telling you this in case you find the house on another website or a realtor sign because it has to be ignored. we are looking for a responsible and God fearing person that can take very good care of the house and the price we are offering is far below the standard price based on Humanitarian purposes. This is enough for you to know that we are not after a market rate rental fee but responsible tenant to take care of the property. I wouldn't like to have any benefit of trust in you because I want to stand in your words that the property would be well taken care of all the time. I believe you have seen how lovely it is if from the pictures you saw in my posting compare to the 100% comfort to be derived from it as you are an occupant.

This person asks for a deposit payment via Western Union, MoneyGram 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.
