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...

I was, but this have scared me.  I am going to wait until hubby gets here and start looking.

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 (http://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.

You just called "Z" butterfly.. sound girly. LOL

LL, that is not too bad..
She prob likes my flapping butterfly avatar.

Do your parakeets breed?  Been trying to get my love birds to breed.  I think they are both females, bec they are always fighting and throwing each other's egg outside the house.

Nigerians are scammers. Don't do business with them. A professional colleague of mine who is part of the Lutheran Church went to Nigeria. Nigerian pastors told him to hide all of his important belongings when going to church because "your people there will steal from you."

A Nigerian client here still owes me money. But his case is over already and he has disappeared. Another former Nigerian co-worker asked for $5.00 from me for lunch to be repaid after his next pay check. He just ignored me after lunch and has never paid me back.

Things of the sort. That country is full of scammers. Don't believe any of them, not even the judicial authorities. They are corrupted. They can be bribed and they will do harmful illegal activities. Always. And they can sound very nice and convincing in some subtly nice way just to persuade you.

I used to worry about South Africa because of apartheid. I actually donated $10.00 back in college for South Africa. But lately I've learned that those African countries abuse their funds all over. Millions are lost and channeled to their leaders' bank accounts without being used for the good of the countries.

A lot of scams coming out of India too.  Key is don't trust anything coming from overseas.

Yes, I used to have a breeding pair and got a few babies from it but the female died last year. I just took in two more birds and one is a female. She's already bonding with my other male parakeet. I already set nest so hopefully they will breed soon.

I don't know how to tell a female/male from a love bird but I can tell from a parakeet. Mostly because the male will have more colors on their beak vs female. Take pictures and let me see. I've been wanting to get a pair of love birds too.
I'll try to take some pics when I get home.  I just got the pair this year and the seller said they were a pair and will give babies.  I just don't understand why they are fighting and throwing each other's eggs out.   ;D They are probably not a pair.  >:(
Title: Re: I almost fell for this guy...
Post by: Zafirlukast on December 10, 2013, 01:50:59 PM
It's cost more to buy a bonding pair. They probably trying to sell you at a higher $$$ fo a bonding pair. Birds know when a egg is bad too so it could be a bad egg that they're trying to throw out. I used to have a pair of finch and both of the male & female would throw the baby out of the nest.. the baby didn't get any foods so it died. I hope you weren't touching the eggs.. they will throw out if they smell human scent.

**They were not crossed stars lover** :2funny:
Ive noticed that birds can be such a meanie to their mates like us humans.  Ive seen pigeons divorce and had affairs with other pigeons too. ;D

Hell yeah!!! All my other 4 males parakeets are fighting eachother for the ONE female that I have... And she  will cheat on each one of them too.. She's not that faithful.  ;D
why did you cause so much distress and chaos with your parakeets?  Should of gotten four females and one male and have a happy camper male. ;D
Title: Re: I almost fell for this guy...
Post by: Zafirlukast on December 10, 2013, 02:06:47 PM
I wanted to see how males react when there's only one female. LOL
you'll wasted money when the males kill each other. Notice how the males not getting any are the ones very angry and plotting revenge.  They'll take it out on the cage too.   ;D

Post by: Zafirlukast on December 10, 2013, 03:51:33 PM
They're fighting over to see who gets to feed her.. LOL I kept yelling to the other one "You better be nice, that's her boyfriend"... :2funny:
That's mean doing that to your birds.  Remember....wh at goes around, comes around.  :2funny: :2funny: :2funny:
