West africa.We
seek to fulfill the Great Commission of Christ by proclaiming to help
the poor,We believe that when we feed the hungry and thirsty, give
shelter to the homeless, clothe the needy, tend the sick, and visit
those in prison, we are doing so for Christ (Matthew 25:31-46).so we
will be staying here for 5 years,and we are looking for a responsible
family to help us take very good care of our The house for us.

The thief will tell you that you can rent his accommodation only if you can prove that you have genuine interest. He will ask you send money by wire transfer (normally Western Union) to yourself or a member of the family to show that you have sufficient finances and that you are not a "time waster".
Another variation of this scam is that you need to send (by Western Union) money in order that the keys and other documents can be couriered to you
He will ask you to send him the transfer details.
Make no mistake ! Western Union Transfers can be picked up virtually anywhere in the world and with the minimum of identification. They are almost impossible to trace once the money has been collected. You will never get to see the accommodation or your money again.
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 Gumtree or similar listing sites. If you receive any requests from 'Landlords' asking for some kind of payment by Western Union 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.
