Who called from 2347086666535

thank you all. these messages really saved me and my family from being part of this mans scam. he emailed us this morning at 2am saying:

Hello,
I resided in the house with my family, my wife and my only son. Presently we have moved out due to my transfer. Presently my house is still available for rent for $700 (rent already includes utilities).More so Now,I'm currently in Lagos,Nigeria for a missionary work.
As soon as we settled down here, I had a thought of selling the house so I had to look for an agent, after getting one, we got a deal but later my wife advised against that. So I contacted the agent back and requested for my keys and documents.Later we decided to have the house rented out because of maintenance, we would have given 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 me later if I let him or her know that I'm letting it out because of maintenance.If you notice, you will discover 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 maintenance. Plans has already been made to remove the for sale sign and take it off the market. I know there is no way I can be sure that you are the right person to live in the house because we won't be able to see physical before sending you the keys and the documents to occupy the space. But I just have a feeling that anyone who knows what it takes to put the kind of structure down should know that maintaining a building is mandatory, so if you belief you can take good care of the house and handle it like yours then I will be more than happy to let you rent the house.
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 $700 (which happens to be the security deposit) is required before moving in.....Feel free to call me for more information and arrangements on how to get the keys and other necessary documents delivered to you.Please if you are ready now to occupy the house and believe you can assist us in maintaining the house, kindly provide the information below for record purpose..

this man is such a scam artist. and i really do appreciate you all for posting your comments about this man.

I reapplied to a apartment rental advertisement on a web site. This the fraudsters named Mike Gilliland sent me. He called me from +2348050783650 this number.

I did a Google search for the name MIKE GILLILAND and the person listed was a US businessman who is not in any way linked to this property.

I did a Google search on the Lawyers name, the  person is dead and there is a Charity foundation in his name in Nigeria.

I have list below the email correspondence i had with this fraudster  
*******************************************************************************************************************
Hello,

I can see you are interested in the ad I have posted, I am currently in west Africa now with my family where we work as a volunteer with the Missionary, here is the site www.ywampenang.org for more details about why we are here in Africa. We spent less time in london so we could not get a hold on any Realtor to handle this rent issue, although it was when we knew how long we are going to stay in Africa that we decided to rent out the apartment. However, the initial plan was to sell out the apartment which we tried, but sometimes the agents inflates the price and it takes longer to sell. We are telling you this in case you find the house on another website, that is the old advert. So we need a tenant to take care of it, but since we are out of town, we have received some proposals regarding the rent because it is located in a very good area of london, but we still have to make sure it is rented out to someone who can take good care of it.The keys and
the document to the apartment are right here with me and I could send it to you after all necessary agreement has be accepted by my family. It includes facilities such as water and heat laundry facilities, air condition, internet and telephone access and car park and other necessary facilities, also comes with trash collection, pets are allowed as well as long as they are not destructive.And the apartment it's $550 permonth, We also want you to let us have trust in you as we always stand on our word. So if you know you are capable of the task,get back to me so that we can provide you with some questions that we would want you to answer.

Regards and God bless

Mike

Almost got scammed by the same guy. Going by the name of Henry Baines ([email protected]) Discovered that the house he was wanting to rent to me was actually a Fannie Mae Foreclosure that was recently sold. Glad my wife mentioned the possibility of a scam or I would have been on the local news telling everyone how I got ripped off.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thank you for getting back to me as regards my place i have for rent.
My wife and I initially had plans of selling the house but thought against it and decided not to sell the house again but to rent it out and plans have been made to remove the for sale sign in front of the house.

We would have done this through a Realtor but the charges on both ends would have been too much and the financial strain would have fallen on you the occupant.This of course would have been too financially demanding on you.So We are letting out the house to someone would take care of it and maintain it.
I resided in the house with my family, my wife and my only son.We moved out due to my transfer to Athens,Greece for a missionary work. Presently,my house is still unoccupied and available for rent at $800 (rent already includes utilities) no extra fee is required for sending you the keys and documents to the House.More so Now,I'm currently in Lagos,Nigeria for a missionary work.

You are free to move in as soon as you wish.If you want,we could send you some pictures of the house.A Deposit of $800 which happens to be the security deposit is required before moving in.Feel free to call me for more information and arrangements on how to get the keys and other necessary documents delivered to you.If you are ready to occupy the house and believe you can assist us in maintaining the house, kindly provide the following information below for record purpose.
