This person asks for proof that you are able to pay the deposit and rent (for a property that he does not own) due to a string of time wasters.
This proof is in the form of a cash or bank transfer either to him, his lawyer, your friend or a family member.
Sounds safe. It's not!
At other times, this person asks for a deposit payment via Western Union or Moneygram with the promise that they will send the keys through a courier company.
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.

Subject: Re: 2bd / 1ba house in deer valley for rent
Thanks for your response and interest in my house.
The house is very much available, its a 2bedroom 1bathroom home located on (1646 W Behrend Dr, Phoenix, AZ). Its has a Central Air Conditioning system . All new Plumbing and fixtures, Appliances included: Kitchen Aid , Dishwasher,Washer/ Dryer available ,Wired for cable TV, phone, internet in the room. Wired for satellite dish TV in living room and family room . House has High speed internet hard wired with GB Local area network 2 - CAT 6 Ethernet jacks with built in gigabit switch in the room.
The property was formally occupied by family before we left for Philadelphia for pastoral duty, we are having a good time here so we decided to rent the home out pending the time that we will be here. We will be away for 2 to 3 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, we will still be here for the next couple of years so we will consider a long or short term lease depending on how long the tenant intends to stay in the house .
The Rent is $450 per month it will include all utilities, we are also asking a security deposit of $450 but its negotiable as we do not want to inflict hardship on our fellow human. We will be allowing pets at no extra fee. cats and dogs only no reptile please, the house is open already so you can move in as soon as possible. So kindly get back to us if you interested in renting our house, you will have to fill a rental application form to kick start the rental process, you free to contact me if you have any question regarding this property i will be delighted to answer your questions .
Stay Blessed
