Thanks for your email and interest in renting my house.I am the owner of the house you are making inquiry of. Actually I resided in the house with my family, my wife and my only daughter before 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 includes utilities).More so Now, i am currently in the (West Africa) for an international Christian follower’s crusade..Pls i want you to note that i spent a lot on my property that i want to give to you for rent,so i will solicit for your absolute maintenance of this house and want you to treat it as your own, It is not the money that is the main problem but i want you to keep it tidy all the time so that i will be glad to see it neat when i come for a check up.I also want you to let me have trust in you as i always stand on my word. Me and my wife bought the house when we got married. When we left the state I had a thought of selling the house so I have to look for an agent, after getting one, we got a deal but later my wife advised against that. I reasoned with her and accepted her advise. So I contacted the agent back and requested for my keys and documents. Later we decided to  have the house rent out, we would have give the same agent this job also but the truth of the matter is that the agent would want to handle it professionally and the occupant may not be able to reason along with him later. If you notice, you will discovered that the price we are offering is far below standard price, this is enough for you to know that we are not after the rental fee but the  absolute care for the property. The house include the utilities 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. because of this reason and more we need a responsible person  that can take very good care of it as we are not after the money , but want it to be clean and for you to take it as if it were yours.

Unrelated, but as much as people like to say that Christians are this or that... when people want your complete trust, but claim to be Christians.   :2funny:

"Nigeria" should be the first clue.  Secondly, the rental amount is too low to be believable.... too good to be true...

My first clue was the similarity in "mission work" and how the "wife did not want to sell."

Yes, buying is out of the question.  We move around too much.  Not worth it now-a-days.

Not only that but when they asked you for money up front or to see them the $$$ and they will send you the key. hehehe.. My sister almost fell for it too.. If it's too good, it's probably not.

When are you gonna let me move in with you?   I've been waiting for like a year now!   >:(  :-\

Peaches,

They are getting more suave.  They are actually using the REAL owner's name.  I was already suspicious... but the house had a pool, so I wanted to see it to the end, as far as I could safely go.  He made the mistake of calling me.  I could not understand a single word he was saying.  And Gregory Waidmann is as white of a name as you can get.  That pretty sealed the "no-deal" for me.

HS,


I am out of the hotel now.  I was paying $240 a week... which amounts to roughly $1000 a month.  I am renting a room from a lady.  Have access to the rest of the house too, so it's not too bad.  The only thing is that she rents out the other two rooms as well, but she is pretty careful WHO she rents to.  Her house is close to a hospital so she tries to rent out to doctors and pilots, etc.

Don't you guys ask for proof that the person owns the house?  Records of mortgage payments, etc?

I reported him to www.ic3.gov.  It's where you can go and report internet crimes.  I sent him a text that I have called the cops and filed with the government.
