the right thing.
2) Ability to Pay: I would want someone that would be able

Looking forward to hearing from you with all this details so
that i can have it in my file in the event of issuing the
receipt for you and contacting you. I would wait for your
feedback so that we can discuss on how to get the document
and the keys to you,
The house is available for rent at the moment so you are
free to move in as soon as you wish to...A Deposit of $450
(which happens to be the security deposit) is required
before moving in. This deposit is refundable if at the end
of the day you don't like the House but i am giving you
the benefit of doubt that you would definitely like it.
Since i am not around to show the House, you can just drive
by
to see the outside of the House. The keys and Documents
have already been packaged and as soon as we reach an
agreement, I would be sending them over to your present
address for you to move in. The house will be available for
rent for a period of 4-5years so you have a choice of
deciding how long you intend staying there...Feel free to
call me for more information and arrangements on how to get
the keys and othernecessary documents delivered to you...my
number is ( +234-706-674-6873).
Thanks and Remain Blessed
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.
