Greeting Blessings to you and your Family,

I must confess that I am new in this landlord business and the home is still available and ready for move in However, My name is Rev Gabriel Omar, I own the house located at (450 S 17th St,
Newark, NJ 07103)This home has been totally remodeled. All wood floors, new appliances RO System and soft water. Great home has it all.due to my job as a missionary I spent less time. My family and I are currently in Oklahoma for missionary call . Before we left, we search for a God fearing and reputable agent who can take good care of the house, but we couldn't get anyone then We left with the key, remote and the papers, I'm willing to rent out the home to a good and God Fearing tenant 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 ,I'm giving out the home with such a reasonable amount because I am only aying God back for his kindness and mercy over me and my family with what I have that`s why I asked for such a reasonable amount. It`s also a pride for me to work for him on a missionary work. Also I need someone/a family that will take good care of the house as their own property. If you can assure me that you can take proper care of the property as if it were yours.


Monthly Rent:$600
Security Deposit:$600
Total Amount:$1200
Bed & Bath:2Bedrooms,1Bathrooms

Below are some question that we need you to answer ,so that we can discuss further.get back to us for further discussion.You will only be able to drive by the house for now but not have a look at the interior until we have sent the keys and documents of the house to you.So we wouldn't want any violation on our property if finally rented by you. However if you are ready to rent the house now, then that will not be a problem but we will advice you due to a responsible person like you to get back to me a confidential lease Tenant Contract form needs to be prepared,The rental fee is inclusive with utilities and my home available as at this moment, the mentioned details below are the information to be used in prepare the lease and be sent back to you immediately.

Just told this a-hole off after he tried to scam me too -his email is below-
The email he used with me is [email protected] and then also got a text saying "good morning Kathleen" and a missed call from this number (405-701-9381) which is not the number he gave me in his email -which was 347-509-5815 and this was for the listing below in Maryland (with him claiming to be on a "mission" in Brooklyn NY)
PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
House Address : (1495 W 9th St,Frederick, MD 21702)
Number of Bedrooms: 3
Number of Bathrooms: 2
Rent: $800
Refundable security Deposit: $620
This is clearly a house for sale and he is using it for his scam -pasted his reply email below where he asks for the western union money transfer and pretty much writes a book on God and trusting people-what a peice of SH!t in my opinion! He also lists an "assistant" where the money can be sent to as Eric Peralta -Brooklyn NY -so he may have accomplices in his scam or using multiple alias -but I wouldn't have ever sent him the money but wanted to see if it was good listing (price seems too good to be true of course)
and Here is his reply to me just like yours:
