Hello,
Thank you for your reply. Like I have inform you before, the price you shall pay for one month of rent will be $800 US, with no extra taxes to pay. The money I want to revive it monthly to my bank account, I hope will be no problem for you to wire the money to my bank account. The apartment is ready for you, you will need only to receive the keys and the contract to check it, and see if you like it.
Obviously we need a way to complete this deal that will allow us to make sure we receive what we are after. I have found a way for us to complete the deal safely and fast, and in this way you will receive the Keys in less than 2 days, if you move fast as
well. The solution is provided by a company called TNT which is similar
to FedEx, DHL or UPS, which will handle the payment and delivery of the Keys.
I have found a procedure that will allow you to pay for the rent of the apt only after you will receive the keys it and through this way you will see it and decide if you will stay in the apt or not before I receive my payment.
Please click on the link bellow to the TNT website to see how we can
complete the deal safely and fast directly from the website of the
company where the procedure is explained: http://www.tnt.com/country/en_generic/services/special_services/timecritical.html
Let me know if you are interested please because I really need to take care of this matter by the end of the next week
Best Regards,

Don’t fall for it and be careful! Google if you aren’t sure!

C’mon people? Isn’t there anything we could do to catch these bastards?
Think about how many people have been cheated and lost their money!
I didn’t lose mine simply because that inner voice that always helps us told me to try to call Yahoo just to check the security of this kind of operation, since I’m foreign.

THERE MUST BE SOMETHING WE CAN DO.

If anyone is interested in taking this thing further, instead of just thanking God for not being caught by it (which is good), please e-mail me on gunther_guapo@yahoo.com.br or call me 323-706.3104

We’ve got about 80 people here who could have been prejudiced. But think about how many have ALREADY BEEN and Haven’t had a chance of spreadig it out.

Please LET’S DO SOMETHING!

THIS HOUSE IS FOR SALE!!! NOT FOR RENT!!! I talked to the actual person that is SELLING this house today and she WASN’T Robin Beaty.

this was a response i received from this idiot (Robin Beaty) after i saw a posting on craigslist for a house for rent:

Hello,

Thank you very much for taking your time to mail me,how
are you doing today,l hope all is well with you?l must
tell you that it is my sincere pleasure to write you
back.Let me quickly introduce ourself to you,our names are
Rev.Robin Bruce and Dr. Ann Bruce, the owner of the apartment you are
making enquiry of,We will like to let you know that my
apartment is still available from now till 3 years
time.The Hydro, washer and security is in tact and
will be okay for any modern living environment and
well furnished.All the utilities are included in the
monthly rent of $800 which must be paid in advance and
they include the Electricity, Water, Internet,
Satellite TV, Air conditioning, Clothes Dryer,
Telephone, Hydro, Washer, Security and heating. No
advance security charges will apply.

Actually I resided in the apartment with my
family,such as my wife and my only daugther before we
packed out due to my missionary work in west africa,We
will not like to give my apartment to somebody that
will destroy it for me just like what my last tenant
did,to be very honest with you a whole lot of people
are contacting me regarding my apartment but l am not
sure of who to accept because l will not like my home
to be destroyed again so we are taking our time to look
for a responsible and a very honest tenant that will
take proper care of my home for me since we are far from
home but if you will promise us that our apartment will
be well taken care of we will be glad to let you stay
in my apartment till the period of time you wish to
stay.

questions to qualifiy for the rent.

lt is necessary for you to answer the questions l

most destroyed all that we have suffered for,and the
only person that would have been able to handle our
home for us on our behalf has just travelled to
scotland UK on a job transfer,so we will like you to
