Thanks for your email and interest in renting my house..I am Henry Frank the owner of the house you are making inquiry of.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, it is still very much available for rent and also ready for
immediate occupancy.Actually I resided in the house with my wife and my only daughter and presently we have moved out due to my transfer from my work now in
Warsaw,Poland. Presently my house is still available for rent, (rent already include all utilities)More so Now,i am currently in the (West Africa) for an international
Christian follower’s crusade.Before we left,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.That is the old advertisement/sign and because
of that reason and more we are looking for a responsible and God fearing person that can take very good care of the house.If you noticed, the price we are offering is
far below the standard price. 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.The
house has all new appliances like Heat, A/C in wall/window, Hydro, cable, Garbage Disposal, Fireplace , Fridge, stove, Dishwasher, Dryer, Breakfast Bar, Dining Table
and Sofa Set,Refrigerator,Canopied deck overlooking nature.,internet access e.t.c with ALL UTILITIES included because of this reason we need a responsible person that
can take very good care of the home.

This is the address of the House (829 Cook Ave,Billings, MT 59101)
The rent is:$670
Security Deposit:670
For this 2Bedroom Home.
Pets Allowed:Dogs and Cats.
Available :Available Now for move in.

NB: You can drive by and check the neighborhood and get back to me for further discussion, any Realtor sign post will be removed once i get any responsible tenant so
you ignore the sign post cause i have stop dealing and contacting the Realtor for too much fees i pay,It is available for a short & long term lease as we will be here
for 5years.

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.
